Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of multiphase flow through porous media is undergoing intense development, mostly due to the recent introduction of new methods. After the profound changes induced by percolation in the eighties, attention is nowadays focused on the pore scale. The physical situation is complex and only recently have tools become available that allow significant progress to be made in the area. This volume on Multiphase Flow in Porous Media, which is also being published as a special issue of the journal Transport in Porous Media, contains contributions on the lattice-Boltzmann technique, the renormalization technique, and semi-phenomenological studies at the pore level. Attention is mostly focused on two- and three-phase flows. These techniques are of tremendous importance for the numerous applications of multiphase flows in oil fields, unsaturated soils, the chemical industry, and environmental sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for this book has arisen from demand for a current text from our students in Petroleum Engineering at Imperial College and from post-experience Short Course students. It is, however, hoped that the material will also be of more general use to practising petroleum engineers and those wishing for aa introduction into the specialist literature. The book is arranged to provide both background and overview into many facets of petroleum engineering, particularly as practised in the offshore environments of North West Europe. The material is largely based on the authors' experience as teachers and consultants and is supplemented by worked problems where they are believed to enhance understanding. The authors would like to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to all the people who have helped in the preparation of this book by technical comment and discussion and by giving permission to reproduce material. In particular we would like to thank our present colleagues and students at Imperial College and at ERC Energy Resource Consultants Ltd. for their stimulating company, Jill and Janel for typing seemingly endless manuscripts; Dan Smith at Graham and Trotman Ltd. for his perseverence and optimism; and Lesley and Joan for believing that one day things would return to normality. John S. Archer and Colin G. Wall 1986 ix Foreword Petroleum engineering has developed as an area of study only over the present century. It now provides the technical basis for the exploitation of petroleum fluids in subsurface sedimentary rock reservoirs.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three-phase flow occurs in many petroleum recovery processes, especially during tertiary recovery. One of the most important parameters to accurately model these complex processes at large scale is relative permeability to each of the flowing fluids. However, relative permeability in three-phase systems becomes extremely complicated due to different flow mechanisms involved with three-phase flow as well as dependence of relative permeability on saturation path (water and oil saturations at each time in three-phase saturation space). During the past several decades, many studies reported experimental measurements of relative permeabilities in three-phase systems under different rock and fluid properties. Based on these measurements, several empirical models have been developed to predict relative permeabilities in three-phase space. However, the performance of these models have been frequently reported to be poor in reproducing experimental data. This indicates that despite the great effort during the past decades, there are still some aspects of three-phase space that have not been completely understood. Therefore, in this study we attempt to obtain a better physical understanding of three-phase relative permeability through extending relative permeability measurements over the entire three-phase phase space with different fluids and porous media. To do so, we use a gravity drainage method to measure three-phase relative permeabilities. However, previous applications of this method suffered from three main issues: a) relative permeabilities at medium to high saturations were not accessible due to quick saturation changes at early times of experiments, b) saturation path of experiments was out of control, and c) it was only applicable to unconsolidated sandpacks. In this study, we develop new procedures and methods to overcome the mentioned shortcomings of this method, by combining the method with steady-state method and applying a small gas pressure gradient. These improvements to the method allows us to measure relative permeabilities along different saturation paths, in both consolidated and unconsolidated porous media while extending the relative permeability measurements to higher saturation regions. In particular, we measure three-phase relative permeabilities along several saturation paths during unsteady-state gravity drainage experiments in two consolidated and unconsolidated media, with oils varying in composition, viscosity, and spreading coefficient. The method involves measurement of in-situ saturations along the porous media at different times during the experiments. These saturation profiles are then used to directly obtain three-phase relative permeabilities. We find that in our water-wet media, oil relative permeability varies significantly depending on the saturation path, while water relative permeability remains unchanged. In addition, oil relative permeabilities along different saturation paths extrapolate to different residual oil saturations. Interestingly, we find that once the measured relative permeabilities along different saturation paths are plotted as a function of mobile oil saturation, So-Sor, all of the differences between relative permeabilities vanish and they all form a single relative permeability curve. We compare our data with the relative permeability data published over the past several decades. We find that literature data are in complete agreement with our data. In addition, literature data for water-wet media suggest that for each media, experiments which end up at a different residual saturation result in a different relative permeability curve. This is while the experiments which reach to the same residual oil saturation result in the same oil relative permeability, regardless of their saturation paths. We examine the importance of residual oil saturation using three most commonly used relative permeability models against our data. These models consist of Corey, saturation weighted interpolation (SWI), and Stone. The idea is simply to change residual oil saturation while keeping all the other parameters constant, to fit experimental data along different saturation paths. We find that, by changing residual saturations, Corey and SWI models fit the data well, while the Stone model fails at low saturations. Overall, we find that the key to modeling relative permeability of water-wet media in three-phase space is residual oil saturation. Our data suggests that three-phase oil relative permeability is only a function of mobile oil saturation, and residual oil saturation is a non-linear function of water saturation.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation is conducted to examine the simultaneous motion of three phases in porous media. Limited research has been done in this area; therefore, the work is exploratory in nature. Experimental apparatus is constructed to enable the flow of three immiscible fluids through a one-dimensional, horizontal glass bead packed core. The main objective of the research is to map the relative permeabilities of the fluids in the interior region of the ternary diagram through a series of dynamic displacement water floods. Fluid relative permeabilities and saturations during the dynamic displacement experiments are calculated from the three-phase extension of the two-phase dynamic displacement theory of Welge's permeability ratios, and Johnson, Bossler and naumann's two-phase method of determining individual relative permeabilities.

Book excerpt: Being valid for single-phase flow, Darcy's law is adapted to two-phase flow through the standard approach of relative permeability, in which permeability, rather than being a unique property of the porous medium, becomes a joint property of the porous medium and each fluid phase. The goal of this study is to find a proper, alternate approach to relative permeability that can describe two-phase flow in porous media while maintaining sound physical concepts, specifically that of a unique permeability exclusive to the porous medium. The suggested approach uses the concept of an average viscosity of the two-phase fluid mixture. Viscosity, the only fluid-characterizing term in Darcy's law, should -at least partially- explain two-phase flow behavior by becoming the two-phase flow property that varies with the saturation ratio of the two fluid phases. Three common mathematical averages are tested as potential viscosity averages. Aspects of two-phase flow in pipes are then considered to see whether two-phase flow behavior in porous media can be attributed to the fluid mixture alone. Total flow rate of the two-phase fluid mixture is modeled by using the fluid mixture average viscosity in Darcy's law. Using two-phase flow data from Oak et al. (1990a, 1990b), the harmonic average weighted by the reduced fluid saturations represents the average viscosity of liquid-gas mixtures in steady-state flow in imbibition. Extracting flow rates of the individual phases from the total flow rate of the fluid mixture is the next, but crucial, step that determines whether the average viscosity approach can replace that of relative permeability in solving common reservoir engineering problems. Liquid-liquid flow in both drainage and imbibition, and liquid-gas flow in drainage are not represented by a simple viscosity average, which indicates the need for further study into more complex viscosity averages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory and Application of Multiphase Lattice Boltzmann Methods presents a comprehensive review of all popular multiphase Lattice Boltzmann Methods developed thus far and is aimed at researchers and practitioners within relevant Earth Science disciplines as well as Petroleum, Chemical, Mechanical and Geological Engineering. Clearly structured throughout, this book will be an invaluable reference on the current state of all popular multiphase Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBMs). The advantages and disadvantages of each model are presented in an accessible manner to enable the reader to choose the model most suitable for the problems they are interested in. The book is targeted at graduate students and researchers who plan to investigate multiphase flows using LBMs. Throughout the text most of the popular multiphase LBMs are analyzed both theoretically and through numerical simulation. The authors present many of the mathematical derivations of the models in greater detail than is currently found in the existing literature. The approach to understanding and classifying the various models is principally based on simulation compared against analytical and observational results and discovery of undesirable terms in the derived macroscopic equations and sometimes their correction. A repository of FORTRAN codes for multiphase LBM models is also provided.
