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 کاملA new model for predicting relative nonwetting phase permeability from soil water retention curves
[1] Relative permeability of the nonwetting phase in a multiphase flow in porous media is a function of phase saturation. Specific expressions of this function are commonly determined by combining soil water retention curves with relative nonwetting phase permeability models. Experimental evidence suggests that the relative permeability of the nonwetting phase can be significantly overestimated...
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...
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 Influence of Polymer-Alkaline and Nanoparticles as Chemical Additives on the Immiscible Displacement and Phase Relative Permeability
In this study, a chemical additive made by a combination of polymer, alkaline, and silica nanoparticles is used to control the oil recovery and relative permeability curves. Various parametersincluding the type and concentration of polymer, alkaline, and nanosilica particles have been studied.To evaluate the efficiency of these additives, we performed unsteady state displaceme...
