Prediction of immiscible gas flooding performance: a modified capacitance–resistance model and sensitivity analysis

Abstract Reservoir performance prediction is one of the main steps during a field development plan. Due to the complexity and time-consuming aspects of numerical simulators, it is helpful to develop analytical tools for a rapid primary analysis. The capacitance–resistance model (CRM) is a simple tec...
