Network modelling of strong and intermediate wettability on electrical resistivity and capillary pressure
A network model that investigates electrical resistivity and capillary pressure curves of oil/water/rock systems for a full̄ooded cycle (primary drainage, imbibition and secondary drainage) is presented. This model uses a realistic pore geometry in the form of a grain boundary pore (GBP) shape and pore constrictions. The model also incorporates pore-scale displacement mechanisms and pore-scale w...
متن کاملCapillary Pressure Curve for Liquid Menisci in a Cubic Assembly of Spherical Particles Below Irreducible Saturation
The capillary pressure–saturation relationship, Pc(Sw), is an essential element in modeling two-phase flow in porous media (PM). In most practical cases of interest, this relationship, for a given PM, is obtained experimentally, due to the irregular shape of the void space. We present the Pc(Sw) curve obtained by basic considerations, albeit for a particular class of regular PM. We analyze the ...
متن کاملCapillary Pressure and Resistivity Measurements Using the Centrifuge: a New Interpretation Method
Simultaneous in-situ measurements of resistivity and capillary pressure in a centrifuge up to speeds of 10000 rpm are reported. The setup can easily be automated for routine measurements and the electrode design takes advantage of the centrifugal force to maintain good contact between the sample and the electrodes. For converting the experimentally measured average saturations and resistivities...
متن کاملSaturation of electrical resistivity in metals at large temperatures.
We present a microscopic model for systems showing resistivity saturation. An essentially exact quantum Monte Carlo calculation demonstrates that the model describes saturation. We give a simple explanation for saturation, using charge conservation and considering the limit where thermally excited phonons have destroyed the periodicity. Crucial model features are phonons coupling to the hopping...
متن کاملSteam-Water Capillary Pressure
Steam-water capillary pressure is of central importance in geothermal reservoir engineering, however it is still poorly known due to the difficulty making direct measurements. To this end, we have conducted experimental and theoretical studies over the past five years and have made significant progress in understanding fundamental steamwater flow. In this paper, we summarize and discuss the res...
