Oil pollution is one of the main pollutions of the marine environment. With the year-on-year increase of our country's oil imports and maritime transportation, our country's offshore oil pollution has become more and more serious, causing serious harm to the ocean and the nearshore environment. According to the current situation of marine oil pollution, the article outlines the current situation, sources, hazards of marine oil pollution, and the methods currently used to deal with and prevent marine oil pollution in physics, chemistry and biology.
Tight sandstone has a complex pore-throat
structure and usually
has multiple immiscible displacement paths. Capillary number may control
and affect this process, but its control mechanism is still unclear.
Therefore, this work aims to study the control process of generalized
capillary number on the immiscible displacement process of tight sandstone.
Through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) online experiments, real-time
monitoring of changes in remaining oil in different-radius pores was
performed under the control of different generalized capillary numbers.
Combined with the microscopic experimental results of a scanning electron
microscope and thin-section and constant-speed mercury intrusion,
the pore-throat distribution law was obtained, and a pore network
model based on a real core was established. The results show that
under the control of low capillary numbers, the immiscible displacement
path shifts to large and medium pores, while under the control of
medium and high capillary numbers, the displacement path shifts to
medium and small pores. Moreover, the simulation results also showed
interesting phenomena that were not realized in the experiment. When
the number of capillaries increases to a certain value (Ca ≈ 6.734 × 10–2 in this study area),
unfavorable viscous displacement will occur in tight sandstones, that
is, the displacement efficiency will decrease rapidly.
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.
