Zusammenfassung:In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure a method for forecasting an advanced recovery process for a reservoir comprises determining a displacement Koval factor associated with a displacement agent associated with an advanced recovery process. The displacement Koval factor is based on heterogeneity of porosity of the reservoir and mobility of the displacement agent. The method further comprises determining a final average oil saturation of the reservoir associated with the advanced recovery process being finished. The method additionally comprises determining an average oil saturation of the reservoir as a function of time for the advanced recovery process based on the displacement Koval factor and the final average oil saturation.
