Abstract
A method includes constructing a digital model of a porous rock sample using input data and establishing for the digital model of a porous rock sample and for a fluid of interest figures-of-merit that are established for full-sample dimensions. For a selected fluid flow model, the method performs a calibration so as to match parameters of the selected fluid flow model to the established figures-of-merit and, based on the calibrated fluid flow model, performs at least one simulation of a flow of the fluid through the digital model of a porous rock sample with a fluid additive to provide a predicted enhanced fluid recovery efficiency. Also disclosed is a system as well as a computer program product configured to implement the method.
