Abstract

Summary The effect of small- and intermediate-scale heterogeneities on miscible displacements is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations in a two-dimensional (2D) flow field containing random permeabilities and random layering. The effect of the variable layer lengths on the level of dispersion is calculated for various well-to-well distances. It was determined that the variable layer lengths add a significant amount of dispersion compared with constant layer lengths for well-to-well distances on the order of 1,000 ft [305 m] or less.
