MS 1.23: Challenges in porous media characterization and modelling of multiphase flow with capillarity

Oral 20 Minutes

Fracture network can be commonly found or produced in many natural or damageable porous media, such as reservoirs, brittle materials and soil. Thus, fracture network and fractured porous media as well as their transport properties have received great attentions in many fields. Fractures are usually extended in length and aperture to form complex fracture network under some external conditions....

MS 1.23: Challenges in porous media characterization and modelling of multiphase flow with capillarity

Oral 20 Minutes

Permeability is one of the most important petrophysical parameters for reservoir characterization, completion design and production prediction, etc. However, due to the strong heterogeneity, poor pore structure, extremely low porosity and complicated minerals types in shale gas reservoirs, it is challenges for estimating the permeability accurately.
In this paper, we present a method for...

110. Spatial correlation of contact angle and curvature in pore-space images

MS 1.23: Challenges in porous media characterization and modelling of multiphase flow with capillarity

Oral 20 Minutes

We study the in situ measured distributions of contact angles and curvatures within mm-size X-ray tomography images of rock samples from a producing
hydrocarbon carbonate reservoir imaged after wateflooding [1]. We analyse
their spatial correlation on a pore-by-pore basis using automated methods for
measuring contact angles [2], a new method for measuring curvatures, and by
performing pore...

666. A numerical modeling approach for capillary effects in systems with changing porosity

MS 1.23: Challenges in porous media characterization and modelling of multiphase flow with capillarity

Oral 20 Minutes

Most commonly used numerical models of unsaturated porous media flow use a single capillary retention function which is specified at the start of the model run and alters capillary pressure only as a function of saturation. However, changes in porosity are common in geologic and industrial applications across a wide range of time scales. Consequently, numerical models of unsaturated media...

990. Effects of Bacterial EPS on Drying of Porous Media

Dr Wenjuan Zheng (University of Delaware)

MS 1.05: Drying of porous media from pore to macro scale

Poster + 3 Minute Pitch

Drying of porous media is of significant importance in many fields ranging from hydrology and agriculture, to industrial applications, e.g., food sciences and chemical engineering. The drying process depends on both the external atmospheric conditions and structure of the porous medium. Previous research has shown that hydrogel produced by plant seeds/roots or bacteria can change the physical...
