Comparing water saturation profiles from cross-section simulations.

Comparing water saturation profiles from cross-section simulations.

This video compares the evolution of the water saturation profile from two simulations as a function of injector-producer distance at different times during the simulation run. The water injection and oil production wells are located on the left and right sides respectively. The cross-section simulation model has 100 x 1 x 20 grid blocks. The water saturation is vertically averaged for each grid block in the X-direction. The two simulation cases shown are: (1) no cross-flow between the layers (red line) and (2) with cross-flow between the layers (green layer). All other parameters are kept constant in both cases.
