the immiscible displacement of oil by water through a porous and permeable reservoir rock can be described by the use of a fractional flow curves (fw versus sw). water flooding project parameters can be obtained from the fractional flow curve. however, developing a representative fractional flow curve for a specific reservoir can be quite challenging when fluid and special core analysis data is...

The performance of water flooding can be investigated by using either detail numerical modeling or simulation, or simply through the analytical Buckley-Leverett (BL) model. The Buckley-Leverett analytical technique can be applied to one-dimensional homogeneous systems. In this paper, the impact of heterogeneity on water flooding performance and fractional flow curve is investigated. First, a ba...

The first paper, entitled Françoise, a fifteen year follow-up, from Jean Rondal and his colleagues M. Elbouz, M. Ylieff, and L. Docquier, at the University of Liège in Belgium presents an individual case study that describes in detail the changes in language and memory function of Françoise, a 47 year old lady with Down syndrome. Françoise will already be well known to many in this field as she...
