متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Determining Capillary Pressure and Relative Permeability Curves from Spontaneous Imbibition Data
In this paper, a very efficient method, called single matrix block analyzer (SMBA), has been developed to determine relative permeability and capillary pressure curves from spontaneous imbibition (SI) data. SMBA mimics realistically the SI tests by appropriate boundary conditions modeling. In the proposed method, a cuboid with an identical core plug height is considered. The equal dimensions of...
متن کاملOil Recovery by Spontaneous Imbibition from Weakly Water-Wet Rocks
Spontaneous imbibition is of special importance to oil recovery from fractured reservoirs. Laboratory measurements of volume of liquid imbibed versus time are often used in the prediction of oil recovery. Imbibition measurements also provide a useful approach to the complex problem of characterizing the wetting properties of porous media. Correlation of a large body of data for imbibition of br...
متن کاملPattern formation in sedimentary rocks: Connectivity, permeability, and spatial correlations
Sedimentary rocks have complicated permeability patterns arising from the geological processes that formed them. We concentrate on pattern formation in one particular geological process, avalanches (grain flow) in wind-blown or fluvial sands. We present a simple experiment and numerical model of how these avalanches cause segregation in particle size that lead to characteristic laminated patter...
متن کاملSedimentation and Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary rocks are one component of the modern threefold classification of rocks. They derive from the lithification of sediments, which are produced in basically two ways: by the mechanical deposition of grains derived from the alteration of other rocks (detrital or clastic rocks), or as chemical precipitates or grains formed organically or inorganically from an aqueous solution. The whole ...
