Effective parameterizations of three nonwetting phase relative permeability models
Describing convective nonwetting phase flow in unsaturated porous media requires knowledge of the nonwetting phase relative permeability. This study was conducted to formulate and derive a generalized expression for the nonwetting phase relative permeability via combining with the Kosugi water retention function. This generalized formulation is then used to flexibly investigate the Burdine, Mua...
متن کاملPrediction of three-phase oil relative permeability through a sigmoid-based model
We present a novel methodology for the prediction of three-phase oil relative permeability, kro, through a sigmoid-based model. This modeling choice allows us to incorporate key effects of the pore-scale phase distributions into the proposed effective empirical model for kro. Our sigmoid-based model is able to reproduce: (i) oil remobilization induced by gas injection in water-wet media; (ii) a...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study of the Influence of Interfacial Tension on Water–Oil Two-Phase Relative Permeability
Adding surfactant into the displacing aqueous phase during surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation of NAPL contamination and in chemical flooding oil recovery significantly changes interfacial tension (IFT) (σ) on water–oil interfaces within porous media. The change in IFT may have a large impact on relative permeability for the two-phase flow system. In most subsurface flow investigations, how...
متن کاملThe Influence of Interfacial Tension on Water/Oil Two-Phase Relative Permeability
Water-oil relative permeability characterizes two-phase flow and displacement processes, and its functional form is difficult to determine in a particular reservoir study. Adding various chemical agents into the displacing aqueous phase during alkaline-surfactant-polymer combination chemical flooding in oil production significantly changes interfacial tension (σ) on water-oil interfaces, and al...
متن کاملThe Effect of Saturation History on Three-Phase Relative Permeability: An Experimental Study
We investigate the effect of different saturation histories relevant to various oil displacement processes (including secondary and tertiary gas injections) on three-phase gas/oil/brine relative permeabilities of water-wet sandstone. It is found that three-phase water (wetting phase) relative permeability is primarily a function of water saturation and shows no dependency upon saturation histor...
