A comprehensive experimental investigation has been conducted to determine the effective permeability of fluid saturated porous media consisting of small and large spherical particles. Small and large particles were mixed uniformly at a certain mixture ratio so as to form a vertical porous column. Water was drawn from a reservoir to flow through the vertical tube filled with particles of differ...

The Open Porous Media (OPM) initiative is a community effort that encourages open innovation and reproducible research for simulation of porous media processes. OPM coordinates collaborative software development, maintains distributes open-source data sets, seeks to ensure these are available under free license in long-term perspective. In this paper, we present Flow, which reservoir simulator ...

Reactive transport modelling of dissolved CO 2 in porous media iii Dedicated to my parents (late) and eldest sister. iv Reactive transport modelling of dissolved CO 2 in porous media v ABSTRACT The geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is seen as one of the options of mitigating the imbalance of greenhouse gas emissions and to avoid global warming. However, leakage of CO 2 from the ...

Porous pavements with reservoir structure for infiltration of runoff from parking spaces and residential streets offer the opportunity to dispose water without using additional space in urban areas. However, pollutants in urban runoff endanger soils and groundwater, when pollutant retention in the structure is not sufficient. Porous pavement structures with four different subbase materials were...

We formulate a hierarchy of models relevant for studying coupled well-reservoir flows. The starting point is an integral equation representing unsteady single-phase 3-D porous media flow and the 1-D isothermal Euler equations representing unsteady well flow. This 2 × 2 system of conservation laws is coupled to the integral equation through natural coupling conditions accounting for the flow bet...

In this work, studies of underground gas storage (UGS) were performed on a partially depleted, naturally fractured gas reservoir through compositional simulation. Reservoir dynamic model was calibrated by history matching of about 20 years of researvoir production. Effects of fracture parameters, i.e. fracture shape factor, fracture permeability and porosity were studied. Results show...

application of archie equation in carbonate reservoirs is not easy due to high dependence of its parameters on carbonate characteristics. carbonates are very heterogeneous in nature and hydrocarbon reserve estimation in these reservoirs of mostly oil-wet and intermediate-wet is highly influenced by the input values of saturation exponent. to our knowledge, non representative oils have been used...

the simultaneous flow of oil and water in porous media is described by relative permeability curves, mainly derived from laboratory experiments. relative permeability is of paramount importance in predicting reservoir production performance and drive mechanisms and its value depends largely on the volume fraction of fluids present in the test samples. nowadays x-ray scanners are one of the most...
