The paper presents a hydrodynamic model of oil displacement by crosslinked polymer systems in a layered heterogeneous reservoir. A two-dimensional model is considered, accounting for vertical heterogeneity in the distribution of reservoir rock filtration and storage properties. Coupling conditions at interlayer boundaries are formulated to incorporate interlayer crossflow. Simulations are performed for conventional waterflooding and for waterflooding with crosslinked polymer systems. In the latter case, the redistribution of filtration flows caused by blocking the most water-swept layer is taken into account.References:
