CO2 MIST (Carbon Dioxide Miscible Flooding Screening Tool) is designed to provide an inexpensive and reliable method in screening carbon dioxide flooding (CO2). CO2 flooding can be considered one of the methods which offer the potential of additional oil recovery. The parameters and key factors that help in mobilizing reservoir oil and influence the whole process of CO2 flooding are discussed. These parameters are recognized and thus are converted into a screening tool using Excel-VBA that would help enable proper reservoir modeling of the whole process. Key points in the choice of miscible flooding are also described in this report by portraying its advantages. The model would then be further analyzed and compared to field data so that the program will be deemed suitable for practical and field use.
