A compositional model for CO2 flooding including CO2 equilibria between water and oil using the Peng–Robinson equation of state with the Wong–Sandler mixing rule

Abstract This paper presents a three-dimensional, three-phase compositional model considering CO2 phase equilibrium between water and oil. In this model, CO2 is mutually soluble in aqueous and hydrocarbon phases, while other components, except water, exist in hydrocarbon phase. The Peng–Robinson (PR...
