  • Abstract

A general 3D flow and transport model in porous media was derived applying an axiomatic continuum modeling approach, which was implemented using the finite element method to numerically simulate, analyze and interpret microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) processes under laboratory conditions at core scale. From the methodological point of view the development stages (conceptual, mathematical, numerical and computational) of the model are shown. This model can be used as a research tool to investigate the effect on the flow behavior, and consequently the impact on the oil recovery, due to clogging/declogging phenomena by biomass production, and interfacial tension changes because of biosurfactant production. The model was validated and then applied to a case study. The experimental results were accurately predicted by the simulations. Due to its generality, the model can be easily extended and applied to other cases.
