Research contentsReferenceMain conclusions

Oil flowing processMa [23]The crude oil in the large pore is first produced, and then the crude oil in the small pore is gradually produced under the action of concentration difference and molecular diffusion.
Wang et al. [57]The crude oil flows out to the core surface due to the expansion of CO2. The oil in each pore can be mobilized with the increase of the exposure time in the first exposure experiment.

Residual oil distributionChen et al. [58]After CO2 displacement, residual oil was mainly distributed in pores with pore diameter below 0.1 μm.

PermeabilityXiao et al. [59]Reducing the damage of asphaltene deposits to the core permeability is very important for improving oil recovery factor.
