A new, closed-form hysteretic model of the capillary pressure-saturation and relative permeability-saturation relationship has been implemented into ITOUGH2. The hysteretic capillary pressure function is based on the van Genuchten model, with a modified version of the dependent domain model of Mualem to describe the scanning curves. Hysteresis in the relative permeability relations is considere...

In current literature in the petroleum industry, machine learning has been used to predict capillary pressure only on centrifugal data points and not complete curves generated from existing correlations after analysis. This paper will present novel information that benefit industry as it shows techniques can be obtain curve which is end goal undertaking an SCAL centrifuge experiment. research i...

Capillary pressure (Pc) curves acquired using the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique, call GIT-CAP, have 70-100 data points. This extra data, when compared with traditional porous plate or centrifuge techniques, allows for the interpretation of more information from the Pc curve. In particular, the pore throat size and relative permeability can be extracted. The pore throat size can be ...

We present analytical solutions for capillary-controlled displacement in one dimension by use of fractional-flow theory. We show how to construct solutions with a spreadsheet that can be used for the analysis of experiments as well as matrix-block-scale recovery in field settings. The solutions can be understood as the capillary analog to the classical Buckley-Leverett solution (Buckley and Lev...

in this study some thermodynamic parameters including freezing point, boiling point and the vapor pressure of urmia lake salt water were investigated as some important environmentally monitored physicochemical properties of urmia lake. in this regard salt concentration is chiefly responsible for the modification of the thermodynamic properties of urmia lake water which affects its overall en...

legumes are rich sources of protein and consider a good alternative to make a protein films. in this study, central composite design to investigate the simultaneously effect of the grasspea protein isolates (2 - 10 percent), glycerol (0.5 - 7%) and oleic acid (0 - 2%) on properties of edible films made from grasspea protein isolates, such as thickness, density, percentage of solubility in water...
