This book was released on 2016 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this research was to explore the role of composition on relative permeability by performing two-phase steady-state relative permeability measurements. The effect of changing fluid composition was studied by using different fluid pairs: CO2/brine, N2/brine and n-decane/brine. In addition, the experiments were performed at two different pressures for the same fluid pair, CO2/brine, since pressure also changes fluid properties such as density that may have an effect on the relative permeability. A very important part of this study was the establishment of the experimental procedures needed to ensure accurate measurements of the relative permeability. These are difficult measurements subject to many experimental artifacts and complications. For example, a special effort was made to reduce capillary end effects in these experiments. Although many studies have reported relative permeability measurements for N2/brine, CO2/brine, or oil/brine, this is the first experimental study where the relative permeability for different fluids was measured using precisely the same methodology. The same core was used for all experiments allowing for a direct comparison between the different fluids. Furthermore, special care was taken in this study to eliminate experimental artifacts that affect relative permeability measurements. In particular, experiments were performed at a high Rapoport-Leas number to minimize capillary end effects. Fractional flow effects, e.g. not being able to flow enough pore volumes to reach residual saturation throughout the whole core, while not eliminated, were circumvented by measuring sectional pressure drops, as opposed to only the pressure drop over the whole core.

Download or read book Special Core Analyses and Relative Permeability Measurement on Almond Formation Reservoir Rocks written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results from special core analyses and relative permeability measurements conducted on samples of rock from the Almond Formation in Greater Green River Basin of southwestern Wyoming. The core was from Arch Unit Well 121 of Patrick Draw field. Samples were taken from the 4,950 to 4,965 ft depth interval. Thin section evaluation, X-ray diffraction, routine permeability and porosity, capillary pressure and wettability tests were performed to characterize the samples. Fluid flow capacity characteristics were measured during two-phase unsteady- and steady-state and three-phase steady-state relative permeability tests. Test results are presented in tables and graphs. Relative permeability results are compared with those of a 260-mD, fired Berea sandstone sample which was previously subjected to similar tests. Brine relative permeabilities were similar for the two samples, whereas oil and gas relative permeabilities for the Almond formation rock were higher at equivalent saturation conditions compared to Berea results. Most of the tests described in this report were conducted at 74[degrees]F laboratory temperature. Additional tests are planned at 150[degrees]F temperature. Equipment and procedural modifications to perform the elevated temperature tests are described.
