Three-Phase Displacement Theory: An Improved Description of Relative Permeabilities
In this paper, we revisit the displacement theory of three-phase flow and provide conditions for a relative permeability model to be physical anywhere in the saturation triangle. When capillarity is ignored, most relative permeability functions used today yield regions in the saturation space where the system of equations is locally elliptic, instead of hyperbolic. We are of the opinion that th...
متن کاملSPE 77539 Three-Phase Displacement Theory: An Improved Description of Relative Permeabilities
A quantitative understanding of three-phase flow in porous media is required to address many diverse processes in the subsurface, e.g., improved oil recovery, CO2 sequestration, and aquifer clean-up. In turn, all predictive models of three-phase flow originate from interpretations of onedimensional laboratory experiments; when these interpretations are flawed, so are the models. In this paper w...
متن کاملSPE 90233 Experimental Study of Phase Transformation Effects on Relative Permeabilities in Fractures
Phase transformation affects multiphase flow in geothermal and gas-condensate reservoirs due to the same substance occurring in different phases. These effects change the phase behavior and the flow characteristics. The goals of this research were to compare the flow behavior and relative permeabilities difference between two-phase flow with and without phase transformation effects in smooth-wa...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Two-phase Flow Structure Effects on Relative Permeabilities in a Fracture
Two-phase flow through fractured media is important in geothermal, nuclear, and petroleum applications. However, the knowledge of the relationship between flow behavior and relative permeabilities is limited. In this research, an experimental apparatus was built to capture the unstable nature of the two-phase flow in a smooth-walled fracture and display the flow structures under different flow ...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Measuring Water and Oil Relative Permeabilities in Two-phase Fluid Flow in Porous Media
In this study, direct laboratory measurements of unsteady-state imbibition test are used in a new approach to obtain relative permeability curves with no predetermined functionality assumptions. Four equations of continuity, Darcy’s law, cumulative oil production, and water fractional flow are employed in combination together under certain assumptions to present the new approach which interpret...
