Experimental Study of Foam Flooding in Low Permeability Sandstones: Effects of Rock Permeability and Microscopic Heterogeneity
Foam flooding (or injection of foam) is a common technology to enhance oil recovery. Although the effects of permeability on foam flooding were well studied in many laboratory experiments, little research has been focused on the specificity of low permeability. In this paper, a series of constant-quality nitrogen foam flow experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of permeability on...
متن کاملIdentifying crack initiation and propagation thresholds in brittle rock
Recent work at the Underground Research Laboratory of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited in Pinawa, Manitoba, has shown that high compressive stresses near the tunnel face significantly contribute to the loss of strength, and eventual failure of the rock, through stress-induced brittle fracturing. A program of laboratory testing has been undertaken to investigate the effects of brittle fracture on...
متن کاملRock Failure Energies and Failure Processes
Carving rock by indenting sharp objects into the surface under an impact force has been a favored method of fragmentation for millenia . However, as rock gets harder the lifetime of these sharp tools becomes short and, in a compromise hardened bits of rounder contour have become more common, particularly when driven by mechanical power. To better understand the behavior of these newer generatio...
متن کاملModeling of Brittle Failure and Comparisons
A numerical multiple crack interaction model was developed to simulate the failure process in brittle solids containing significant populations of flaws. The model, which is 2D, allows for the growth of microcracks on a regular array of potential crack sites. Individual cracks may be oriented vertically, horizontally or at 450 to the sample axes. Quasi-static equilibrium equations are expressed...
متن کاملRelative Permeability Measurement in Rock Fractures
The petroleum industry always requires precise measurement of relative permeability. When it comes to the fractures, the measurement becomes extremely difficult since the saturation in the fractures is hard to calculate. In this study, we are aiming to provide a machine learning approach to distinguish voxel-based water and gas in rock fractures based on Computed Tomography. This research is di...
