Description
In the presence of mobile water, recent experimental results and pore-scale analysis have suggested that the gas relative permeability in gas–oil systems can be very low in mixed-wet or oil-wet rocks. In this study, we investigate how three-phase relative permeability affects field-scale behavior. We show that the use of different relative permeability models provide significantly different predictions of multiphase flow properties, which in turn affects both oil recovery and CO₂ storage capacity. We demonstrate that using physically-valid low gas relative permeabilities improves the predicted storage capacity and that the injection of water is not needed to trap or immobilize CO₂.
