Abstract
A core flooding experiment was carried out to simulate an Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) process to inject supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO2) into a core sample saturated with methane (CH4). This was done to investigate the flow behaviour of the injected SCO2 at the flow conditions when the injection orientation was switched from horizontal to vertical during the CH4 displacement. From the results, it was found that gravity has significant effects on the flow behaviour of SCO2 at lower flowrates; more pronounced is the seemingly lower permeability in the horizontal orientation compared with the vertical orientation. So the choice of the injection pattern or direction during EGR by SCO2 injection for the purpose of additional recovery of CH4 and subsequent sequestration of the injected CO2 should be made in conjunction with the determination of optimum injection rate for efficient injectivity.
