Abstract

Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) and oil swelling are two important factors of carbondioxide (CO2) gas displacement mechanism occurred in the reservoir relate to application of CO2 injection in the field to enhance oil recovery. In this paper determination of minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) between crude oil samples with carbondioxide gas conducted using two methods, i.e. correlation methods and laboratory experiment using slimtube. While, determination of swelling factor was conducted using PVT cell, where recombined fluid injected and conditionally at the reservoir temperature. The results of MMP using empirical equation (2807 Psig) and Holm & Josendal correlation (2750 Psig) is more approximate to the result of laboratory analysis (2805 Psig). The result of swelling test during injection CO2 gas processes until 46.82% mole, shows that bubble point pressure is increasing gradually from 410 psig through 2200 psig, and swelling factor was also increase from 1.0 through 1.442. Based on the value of fracture pressure of Layer F in the KHL Field is 2200 Psig and MMP is 2805 Psig, hence the application of CO2 gas injection in the field only could be conducted as immiscible flooding.
