This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flow and trapping processes of immiscible fluids in porous materials are regularly encountered in a wide range of applications including soil science, oil and gas recovery, geologic sequestration of CO2, and food processing. Such media are characterized by the existence of pore-scale interfaces which are strongly interrelated with the various phenomena and processes associated with these systems. In this dissertation, we develop and present a comprehensive understanding of several of these interrelationships through robust and cohesive experimental and computational research work. We first develop image analysis platforms for in-situ characterization of capillary pressure and wettability using x-ray computed tomography images of saturated porous media. These platforms incorporate practical high-performance computing and image analysis techniques to enhance their efficacy when applied to large-sized micro-CT images of extremely complex porous media. After a rigorous validation process, we use these platforms to analyze pore-scale fluid occupancy maps acquired during a wide range of multiphase core flooding experiments including complex processes such as steady-state two- and three-phase flow tests and various wettability and stress conditions. Our investigations show that a strong correspondence exists between the micro- (image-based) and macro-scale two-phase capillary pressure functions. However, the intermittent nature of the pore-scale displacement events contributes to the discrepancy between the multi-scale behavior. Similarly, during three-phase flow, the local capillary pressures corresponding to the invading phase comply with the macroscopic flow ratios. Nonetheless, more intricate pore-scale interactions such as hyperactive trapping and double displacement events further impact the local capillary pressure changes. Furthermore, capillary pressure gradients across the porous media are incorporated in the three-phase relative permeability measurements. In-situ capillary pressure measurements are also efficiently used to characterize the hydro-mechanical behavior of porous media under various wettability conditions. We find that wettability plays a crucial role in the interplay between the fluids' volume-pressure functions and the effective stress on sandpack samples. In particular, capillary pressure reductions and increases are observed and associated with interfaces being displaced or hinged in place in response to compression processes under water- and mixed-wet conditions, respectively.

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: "Reservoir compartmentalization - the segregation of a petroleum accumulation into a number of individual fluid/pressure compartments - controls the volume of moveable oil or gas that might be connected to any given well drilled in a field, and consequently impacts 'booking' of reserves and operational profitability. This is a general feature of modern exploration and production portfolios, and has driven major developments in geoscience, engineering and related technology. Given that compartmentalization is a consequence of many factors, an integrated subsurface approach is required to better understand and predict compartmentalization behaviour, and to minimize the risk of it occurring unexpectedly. This volume reviews our current understanding and ability to model compartmentalization. It highlights the necessity for effective specialist discipline integration, and the value of learning from operational experience in: detection and monitoring of compartmentalization; stratigraphic and mixed-mode compartmentalization; and fault-dominated compartmentalization"--Page 4 of cover.

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.

This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capillary phenomena occur in both natural and human-made systems, from equilibria in the presence of solids (grains, walls, metal wires) to multiphase flows in heterogeneous and fractured porous media. This book, composed of two volumes, develops fluid mechanics approaches for two immiscible fluids (water/air or water/oil) in the presence of solids (tubes, joints, grains, porous media). Their hydrodynamics are typically dominated by capillarity and viscous dissipation. This first volume presents the basic concepts and investigates two-phase equilibria, before analyzing two-phase hydrodynamics in discrete and/or statistical systems (tubular pores, planar joints). It then studies flows in heterogeneous and stratified porous media, such as soils and rocks, based on Darcy’s law. This analysis includes unsaturated flow (Richards equation) and two-phase flow (Muskat equations). Overall, the two volumes contain basic physical concepts, theoretical analyses, field investigations and statistical and numerical approaches to capillary-driven equilibria and flows in heterogeneous systems
