Abstract
The aim of this work is to study theoretically the effect of porosity of an oil reservoir with arbitrary geometry on the oil recovery factor. A two-dimensional mathematical modeling (Black-oil model) and numerical solution applied to two-phase flow (water-oil) into the reservoir with irregular geometry including water injection is presented. The conservation equations written in generalized coordinates are solved using the finite volume method, with a fully implicit technique. Results of the pressure and saturation distributions and oil recovery factor over time are presented and evaluated for different values of porosity of the reservoir.
