Modeling of frozen rocks thawing around an injection well during water-polymer flooding of a gas-oil stratum
This paper presents a numerical model using a level set method to analyze the thawing dynamics of frozen rocks around an injection well during water-polymer flooding, revealing that well rate and solution temperature are the primary factors influencing thawing, with high temperatures posing significant risks to surface equipment in unconsolidated formations.
