The context of this project is focused on analyzing how fractional flow governs efficiency in enhanced oil recovery and behavior of a reservoir upon chemical flooding. The study of the project is pursued mainly in the sense of manipulation of capillary number; mobility ratio and conformance which is further extrapolated through the calculation of target oil, rate and capillary number, surfactant retention, oil recovery algorithms and production functions. End results of this project are presented with graphical user interface, GUI that provides an efficient screening method of reservoir potentiality and recovery efficiency. Finally, the project is concluded with a detailed list of analysis summary which includes reservoir recovery efficiency as well as cumulative gas, oil and water produced from the reservoir.
