Abstract Results of mathematical modeling of two-phase flow in non-homogeneous (layered) reservoirs are reported. Characteristic patterns of flow in reservoirs with high layer permeability contrast are investigated. It is shown that in such reservoirs crossflow between layers must be taken into account. Specific features of the use of hydrodynamic methods of improving oil recovery in such reservoirs based upon flow pattern control are studied. The possibility of using rational flow management to improve oil recovery partially blocking the reservoir in the neighborhood of the wells is demonstrated.
