Abstract
All of the principal mechanisms of brine mixing in waterflood displacements are considered and modelled. Mixing between the injection water (IW), the oil leg connate water (CW) and the aquifer water (AQW) is analyzed starting from a one-dimensional frontal displacement, extended Buckley-Leverett (BL) analysis. This particular mechanism occurs in all other types of displacement and reservoir mixing process including those in both heterogeneous layered systems and in areal flooding situations.
