Abstract: Based on the results experiment study and field tests, this paper concerns mainly about the mechanism of fluid flow and physicochemical phenomena is hot water flooding process with surfactant,and presents a three-dimension, three-phase mathematical model of hot water flooding with surfactant. In an actual oilfield, the developed software is used to study the mechanism of fluid flow of hot waterflooding. Various factors which affect the flooding effects(such as the quantity,concentration, timing, pattern of surfactant injection) are investigated and some helpful conclusions are given.

Key words: viscous oil reservoir, hot water flooding, surfactant, numerical simulation, oil displacement efficiency
