Modeling of effective pressure effect on porous reservoir rocks

چکیده
Effective pressure effect on porous reservoir formation is one of the most important factors contributing to time-lapse seismic attribute changes. Our research shows that the existing commonly used models tend to overestimate effective pressure effect at high effective pressure, which might cause significant misinterpretation of 4D seismic data. Based on analysis of a large quantity of lab data, a new model that is simpler and has clearer physical meaning was brought up in this study. This new model should be sufficient to describe the effective pressure effect on various porous reservoir rocks.

Lab and Field Scale Modeling of Near Miscible CO2 Injection in Different Porous Mediums
The main purpose of this investigation is to study the effect of near miscible CO2 injection in different porous mediums on both lab and field scales. This effect can be traced by the change of two-phase gas-oil relative permeability curves. In this work, the experiments have been performed on three rock types (i.e. sandstone, dolomite, and artificial fractured sandstone) based on an incrementa...
متن کاملStudy of Two Phase Fluid Flow in Water Wet Reservoir Rocks by Using X-Ray In situ Saturation Monitoring
Displacement of oil and water in porous media of reservoir rocks is described by relative permeability curves, which are important input data for reservoir performance simulation and drive mechanism studies. Many core studies, such as multiphase relative permeability, capillary pressure and saturation exponent determination, depend on the volume fractions of multiphase flui...
متن کاملAcoustic and mechanical response of reservoir rocks under variable saturation and effective pressure.
We investigate the acoustic and mechanical properties of a reservoir sandstone saturated by two immiscible hydrocarbon fluids, under different saturations and pressure conditions. The modeling of static and dynamic deformation processes in porous rocks saturated by immiscible fluids depends on many parameters such as, for instance, porosity, permeability, pore fluid, fluid saturation, fluid pre...
متن کاملPseudo Steady State Gas Flow in Tight Reservoir under Dual Mechanism Flow
Gas reservoirs with low permeability (k<0.1 mD) are among the unconventional reservoirs and are commonly termed as "Tight Gas Reservoirs". In conventional gas reservoirs that have high permeability, the flow of gas is basically controlled by the reservoir permeability and it is calculated using the Darcy equation. In these reservoirs, gas flow due to gas diffusion is ignored compared to Dar...
متن کاملDetermination of Pore Pressure from Sonic Log: a Case Study on One of Iran Carbonate Reservoir Rocks
Pore pressureis defined as the pressure of the fluid inside the pore space of the formation, which is also known as the formation pressure. When the pore pressure is higher than hydrostatic pressure, it is referred to as overpressure. Knowledge of this pressure is essential for cost-effective drilling, safe well planning, and efficient reservoir modeling. The main objective of this study is to ...
