In a fluid-saturated porous formation, an impinging seismic wave induces fluid motion. The motion of fluid relative to the rock frame generates an electric streaming current. This current produces electric and magnetic fields, which are called seismoelectric and seismomagnetic fields, respectively. When there is a fracture or a discontinuity, a radiating electromagnetic wave is also generated, ...

In order to achieve a fair description of radon transport through concrete certain information is needed on the concrete structure, porosity and permeability, on processes causing the transport of radon, on radon’s interaction with environment, factors favouring the generation of radon, etc. The concrete characteristics (that depend on its composition and especially on the W/C ratio) which infl...

This work aimed at assessing water percolation through a solid cow manure leach bed in dry batch AD processes. A laboratory-scale percolation column and an experimental methodology were set up. Water behaviour was modelled by a double porosity medium approach. An experimental procedure was proposed to determine the main hydrodynamic parameters of the multiphase flow model: the porosity, the per...

In industry, the porosity of petrochemical reservoirs is measured frequently by coring and is an important property when trying to determine if a site is appropriate for drilling. Porosity can also be used in waste water treatment in order to determine if a material is ideal for water purification in industrial or residential applications. The purpose of this experiment was to simulate a oil re...

Tight sand reservoir is usually characterized by high heterogeneity and complex pore structure, which makes the permeability calculation a big challenge and leads to difficulties in reservoir classification and productivity evaluation. First, five different Hydraulic Flow Units and respective Porosity-permeability relations were built based on core dataset from Kekeya block, Tuha Basin; and the...

a large distribution of pore sizes, ranging from microcrystalline to large vugs. Knowledge of these pore spaces and their connectivity is crucial to hydrocarbon reservoir characterization and to hydrogeological and near surface environmental applications. In this paper, we present permeability and porosity images based on crosswell seismic measurements integrated with well logs and petrography ...

The Shanggu gas field is the low porosity and low permeability. Single well controlled reserves, economic limit well spacing and economic rational spacing through different methods are calculated. With the development experience of Su Lige gas field as guidance, the rational spacing of Shanggu gas reservoir is 700m×900m by calculating daily gas production rate and cumulative gas production with...

In recent years, borehole Stoneley wave amplitude and reflectivity have been used for estimating formation permeability based on the strong correlation between Stoneley wave attenuation, reflectivity and formation fluid conductivity. There are other factors, however, that may cause substantial Stoneley attenuation and reflection in a borehole environment. To make better use of Stoneley measurem...

In this study, the transverse permeability of fibrous porous media is studied both experimentally and theoretically. A scale analysis technique is employed for determining the transverse permeability of various fibrous matrices including square, staggered, and hexagonal arrangements of unidirectionally aligned fibers, as well as simple two-directional mats and simple cubic structures. In the pr...
