Previous researchers attempted to relate the two experimental works in obtaining the MMP but failed to achieve the same results. This study attempts to identify such a relationship through a plotting technique of the swelling tests data. In this case, the MMP is graphically determined at the intersection between condensation-extraction and extraction curves. It is found that the two experiments result in the MMP that are very close to each other. In addition to the experimental works, this study also performs numerical simulation and visual observation during the experiments. It is revealed that the differences between the results of the swelling test and those of the slim tube experiments and the simulation are approximately -1.2% to 3.9% and -4.5% to -5.9%, respectively. It then follows that the proposed method provides satisfactory estimates of the MMP.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]CO2-EOR,Simulation,Slim tubes,Swelling test,Visual observations[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]CO2-EOR,Miscibility,Simulation,Slim tube,Swelling test,Visual observation[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work was supported by the Energy Resources R&D Program of the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning (KETEP) grant funded by the Korean Government Ministry of Knowledge Economy (No. 20122010200060 ).
