Abstract:The development of unconventional reservoirs through gas injection has gained significant attention in recent years. CO 2 -enhanced recovery of shale oil is acknowledged to have great prospects but still faces challenges, such as unsatisfactory recovery efficiency. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to investigate the displacement behavior of shale oil using a hybrid CO 2 /water flooding system in calcite nanoslits under reservoir conditions. The simulation results demonstrate th… Show more
