To develop a multi-component mathematical model for discontinuous phase chemical flooding to enhance oil recovery.
Developed a multi-component model including oil, gas, water, and chemical phases.
Introduced minimum reaction porosity to boost discontinuous phase generation.
Incorporated threshold pressure into the flow equation for unique migration characteristics.
Employed a fully implicit finite volume method for simulations.
Validated the model with physical experiments.
Discontinuous phase flooding significantly increased oil recovery efficiency compared to traditional methods.
The model accurately reflects migration characteristics and pressure fluctuations during simulation.
Enhanced conformance control was observed in high-permeability channels.
