Abstract:Pore-scale modeling is becoming widely applied in the oil industry. The objective of porescale imaging and modeling is to predict the properties of multiphase flow in porous media. Pore-network model construction of geologically realistic samples and determination of rock and two-phase fluid flow properties are described and discussed in this paper. Pore-network models were constructed using published micro-computed tomography images of different rock samples. Effective porosity, average absolute permeability,… Show more
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.
