The mechanism of spontaneous imbibition of water by sandstone cores and the relationship between reservoir wettability and imbibition recovery were studied by investigating factors influencing the spontaneous imbibition of different surfactants by oil-wet sandstone cores. Ultimate oil recovery of cores using the cationic surfactant CTAB was higher than that of the cores using the nonionic surfactant TX-100 and the anionic surfactant POE (1) at the same concentration. For CTAB and TX-100, the ultimate oil recovery by spontaneous imbibition increased with increase in surfactant concentration. In regard to imbibition recovery, TX-100 and POE(1) at high temperatures were superior to those at low temperatures. Ultimate oil recovery of the high-permeability core was higher than that of the low-permeability core at room temperature. According to changes in the driving force during the imbibition process, the imbibition curve could be divided into three regions: (1) mainly capillary force, (2) both capillary and gravity forces, and (3) mainly gravity force. The stronger the hydrophilicity of the rock surface, the higher the spontaneous imbibition recovery. 相似文献

In this paper, a theoretical model was established to determine the contact angle by introducing a new defined effective capillary radius into the Lucas–Washburn equation. Based on the theoretical model, capillary rise experiments of water imbibed by different glass beads were carried out to measure the contact angle; the results were similar to the available data published in the literature. In addition, the model was modified to take account of the dynamic contact angle, according to the experimental data. The influence of the dynamic contact angle on the movement of the spontaneous imbibition was studied. 相似文献

The percolation theory approach to static and dynamic properties of the single- and two-phase fluid flow in porous media is described. Using percolation cluster scaling laws, one can obtain functional relations between the saturation fraction of a given phase and the capillary pressure, the relative permeability, and the dispersion coefficient, in drainage and imbibition processes. In addition, the scale dependency of the transport coefficient is shown to be an outcome of the fractal nature of pore space and of the random flow pattern of the fluids or contaminant. 相似文献

An approximate analytical solution is provided for one-dimensional, counter- current, spontaneous imbibition of a wetting
phase (water) into a semi-infinite porous medium. The solution is based on the assumption that a similarity solution exists
for the displacement process. This assumption, in turn, rests on the assumption that the set of relative permeability and
capillary pressures curves are unique functions of saturation and do not depend on the nature of the displacement. It further
rests on the assumption that the saturation at the imbibition face does not vary with time. It is demonstrated that the solution
is in agreement with results obtained from experiments and also numerical analyses of these experiments. The experiments utilize
cylindrical samples with the radial surface and one end-face sealed, and with counter-current imbibition occurring at the
open end-face. The stage of the experiment that is modeled by the present solution is the period before the imbibition front
contacts the sealed end-face. An important finding of the present analysis is that the pressure upstream of the advancing
invasion front is a constant. A second, improved solution is also presented; this solution is an iterative, series solution
of an integral-differential equation. It converges to a stable solution in very few terms. 相似文献

Although, the effects of ultrasonic irradiation on multiphase flow through porous media have been studied in the past few
decades, the physics of the acoustic interaction between fluid and rock is not yet well understood. Various mechanisms may
be responsible for enhancing the flow of oil through porous media in the presence of an acoustic field. Capillary related
mechanisms are peristaltic transport due to mechanical deformation of the pore walls, reduction of capillary forces due to
the destruction of surface films generated across pore boundaries, coalescence of oil drops due to Bjerknes forces, oscillation
and excitation of capillary trapped oil drops, forces generated by cavitating bubbles, and sonocapillary effects. Insight
into the physical principles governing the mobilization of oil by ultrasonic waves is vital for developing and implementing
novel techniques of oil extraction. This paper aims at identifying and analyzing the influence of high-frequency, high-intensity
ultrasonic radiation on capillary imbibition. Laboratory experiments were performed using cylindrical Berea sandstone and
Indiana limestone samples with all sides (quasi-co-current imbibition), and only one side (counter-current imbibition) contacting
with the aqueous phase. The oil saturated cores were placed in an ultrasonic bath, and brought into contact with the aqueous
phase. The recovery rate due to capillary imbibition was monitored against time. Air–water, mineral oil–brine, mineral oil–surfactant
solution and mineral oil-polymer solution experiments were run each exploring a separate physical process governing acoustic
stimulation. Water–air imbibition tests isolate the effect of ultrasound on wettability, capillarity and density, while oil–brine
imbibition experiments help outline the ultrasonic effect on viscosity and interfacial interaction between oil, rock and aqueous
phase. We find that ultrasonic irradiation enhances capillary imbibition recovery of oil for various fluid pairs, and that
such process is dependent on the interfacial tension and density of the fluids. Although more evidence is needed, some runs
hint that wettability was not altered substantially under ultrasound. Preliminary analysis of the imbibition recoveries also
suggests that ultrasound enhances surfactant solubility and reduce surfactant adsorption onto the rock matrix. Additionally,
counter-current experiments involving kerosene and brine in epoxy coated Berea sandstone showed a dramatic decline in recovery.
Therefore, the effectiveness of any ultrasonic application may strongly depend on the nature of interaction type, i.e., co-
or counter-current flow. A modified form of an exponential model was employed to fit the recovery curves in an attempt to
quantify the factors causing the incremental recovery by ultrasonic waves for different fluid pairs and rock types. 相似文献

Immiscible displacement is regarded as the superposition of forward flows of both water and oil, due to injection of water into the medium, and of additional forward flow of water coupled with reverse flow of oil, caused by the existence of capillary pressure gradients. The model has been evaluated numerically for the prediction of the evolution of saturation profiles in waterfloods covering a wide range of water injection rates. In agreement with experimentation, saturation profiles ranging from a completely flat shape to piston-shape, depending on the injection rate, have been obtained. Also in agreement with experimentation, numerical evaluation of the model for the case of a closed system with an initial step-function saturation profile has predicted a gradual spreading of the piston front into S-shaped profiles with an increasing variance. The final profile corresponds to uniform saturation everywhere in the medium. 相似文献

The uni-directional propagation of oil injected into water flowing through a water wetted porous slab of a finite length is investigated. The inlet and outlet edges of the slab are impermeable to the oil flux. Hence, the oil accumulates within the slab, thereby leading to a saturation build-up-capillary end effect. This phenomenon is studied analytically on the basis of a nonlinear equation describing oil-water transport in porous media. A dimensionless criterion is derived, which governs the appearance and relative strength of the capillary end effect. For weak oil-water interfacial tension (large capillary number) and long porous slabs the above effect is not observed and the temporal evolution of the oil saturation is described by the Buckley-Leverett solution. Short porous slabs are found to be almost entirely subjected to the capillary end effect. Intermediate situations are identified and quantitatively described, in which the downstream part of the slab may be divided into two zones: one-characterized by the capillary end effect, and the other being a Buckley-Leverett zone.It is shown, that the oil flux injected into the slab is limited by a maximum value which depends upon the location of the injection point. The partition of the inlet flux between the upstream and downstream directions is investigated. In the upstream side of the porous slab the oil moves under the action of free imbibition only. It is found that the upstream flux is limited by the value, which is independent of the slab's length and of the location of the injection point. 相似文献

The kinetics of capillary imbibition in ordinary Portland cement pastes has been studied experimentally and theoretically. Nuclear magnetic resonance stray field imaging (STRAFI) has been used to record water concentration profiles for various ingress times. The profiles follow a t law and thus a master curve can be formed using the Boltzmann transformation. The distribution of pore sizes within the sample as measured by NMR cryoporometry shows a prominent peak at 100Å. A computer model of the pore structure was developed consisting of a lattice of interconnecting pores with a size distribution consistent with the cryoporometry results. The Hagen–Poiseuille law was used to describe the kinetics of the water in this pore structure. The best agreement between the computer simulations and the experimental master curve was obtained by using a narrower range of pore sizes than indicated by the cryoporometry results. 相似文献
