This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 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 2021-11-14 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes fundamental upscaling aspects of single-phase/two-phase porous media flow for application in petroleum and environmental engineering. Many standard texts have been written about this subject. What distinguishes this work from other available books is that it covers fundamental issues that are frequently ignored but are relevant for developing new directions to extend the traditional approach, but with an eye on application. Our dependence on fossil energy is 80–90% and is only slowly decreasing. Of the estimated 37 (~40) Gton/year, anthropogenic emissions of about 13 Gton/year of carbon dioxide remain in the atmosphere. An Exergy Return on Exergy Invested analysis shows how to obtain an unbiased quantification of the exergy budget and the carbon footprint. Thus, the intended audience of the book learns to quantify his method of optimization of recovery efficiencies supported by spreadsheet calculations. As to single-phase-one component fluid transport, it is shown how to deal with inertia, anisotropy, heterogeneity and slip. Upscaling requires numerical methods. The main application of transient flow is to find the reasons for reservoir impairment. The analysis benefits from solving the porous media flow equations using (numerical) Laplace transforms. The multiphase flow requires the definition of capillary pressure and relative permeabilities. When capillary forces dominate, we have dispersed (Buckley-Leverett flow). When gravity forces dominate, we obtain segregated flow (interface models). Miscible flow is described by a convection-dispersion equation. We give a simple proof that the dispersion coefficient can be approximated by Gelhar's relation, i.e., the product of the interstitial velocity, the variance of the logarithm of the permeability field and a correlation length. The book will appeal mostly to students and researchers of porous media flow in connection with environmental engineering and petroleum engineering.

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.

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.
