Numerical simulation of tight oil extraction with supercritical CO2
extraction can overcome the production and development problems of tight reservoirs which are difficult to form effective displacement. Crude oil fractions were divided by PVTi module
and the pseudo-component properties of formation crude oil could be obtained by combining with the expansion experimental data of CO
2
injection. Relevant factors affecting the extraction of tight oil by CO
2
were studied by CFD simulation. The results showed that supercritical CO
2
mainly extracted the light components of crude oil in porous media
especially those below C
15+
. The higher injectio
n pressure was
and the more CO
2
was injected
the stronger the solubility of crude oil would be
and it could enhance the extraction of heavy components. Meanwhile
the increase of CO
2
injection could also promote the retention of CO
2
in porous media
which was conducive to CO
2
storage. With the increase of porosity
the extraction effect of CO
2
increased first and then decreased
and was still 44 % under the condition of lower porosity. The extraction of tight oil by CO
