Some of the heavy oil reservoirs show high primary recovery and high flow rate under solution gas drive. The foamy oil theory has been proposed for the anomalous behavior. There have been numerous studies of diffusion-induced growth or collapse of bubbles in a fluid. However, there are some limits about them such as the determination of initial bubbles radius. Pointed to the problem that how to determine the initial bubble radius, this article proposes a new method base on the hydrodynamic equation, and then regards the bubble as a production well with source and sink theory based on the similarity between the bubbles concentration distribution and the pressure distribution of production well. According to the model established, the bubble growth by pressure and time is predicted, that is, how the amount and size of bubbles change during solution-gas drive is presented, which provided the guidance to determine the parameters of foamy oil due to bubbles change, such as foamy oil viscosity, compressibility, permeability, and so on. This model proved to be reasonable and correct by the agreement between the bubble concentration distribution and the pressure distribution during solution-gas drive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
