CO 2 injection has great potentials to improve the oil production for the fractured tight oil reservoirs. However, Current works mainly focus on its operation processes; full examination of CO 2 molecular diffusion and adsorption was still limited in the petroleum industry. To fill this gap, we proposed an efficient method to accurately and comprehensively evaluate the efficiency of CO 2 -EOR process. We first calculated the confined fluid properties with the nanopore effects. Subsequently, a reservoir simulation model was built based on the experiment test of the Eagle Ford core sample. History matching was performed for the model validation. After that, we examined the effects of adsorption and molecular diffusion on the multi-well production with CO 2 injection. Results illustrate that in the CO 2 -EOR process, the molecular diffusion has a positive impact on the oil production, while adsorption negatively impacts the well production, indicating that the mechanisms should be reasonably incorporated in the simulation analysis. Additionally, simulation results show that the mechanisms of molecular diffusion and adsorption make great contributions to the capacity of CO 2 storage in tight formations. This study provides a strong basis to reasonably forecast the long-term production during CO 2 Huff-n-Puff process.
