Pore-scale monitoring of CO2 and N2 flooding processes in a tight formation under reservoir conditions using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR): A case study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an experimental investigation of CO2 and N2 flooding in the Lucaogou tight formation at 35.0 MPa and 80°C. The flooding dynamics were continuously monitored by use of low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to map the displacement processes at pore-scale and quantify the reduction of oil saturation in situ.
