Modeling of carbonate oil reservoirs in imbibition displacement with considering asphaltene deposition

Asphaltene deposition in oil reservoirs affects oil wellbore performance. In this paper, influence of asphaltene deposition in low permeability oil reservoirs performance including two-phase flow of water and oil is studied. The experimental data of water and oil relative permeability represented in the literature and data of capillary pressure using network modeling calculated by the authors are applied. In order to simulate oil reservoir, a three-dimensional, three-phase black oil simulator is used. The study includes two parts of oil production well with controlled oil rate and controlled bottomhole production well pressure.
