Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products can be used for determining the amount of oil removed by a miscible gas flood. One of the methods includes identifying locations of oil within a volume representing a reservoir rock sample. The method includes identifying locations of gas within the volume. The method also includes determining the amount of oil removed based on locations within the volume where oil is either coincident with the gas or is connected to the gas by a continuous oil path.
