Numerical simulation study on miscible EOR techniques for improving oil recovery in shale oil reservoirs
Abstract Shale formations in North America such as Bakken, Niobrara, and Eagle Ford have huge oil in place, 100–900 billion barrels of oil in Bakken only. However, the predicted primary recovery is still below 10%. Therefore, seeking for techniques to enhance oil recovery in these complex plays is i...
