- W4386102927 abstract "Summary An uncommon facet of formation evaluation is the assessment of flow-related in-situ properties of rocks. Most of the models used to describe two-phase flow properties of porous rocks assume homogeneous and/or isotropic media, which is hardly the case with actual reservoir rocks, regardless of scale; carbonates and grain-laminated sandstones are but two common examples of this situation. The degree of spatial complexity of rocks and its effect on the mobility of hydrocarbons are of paramount importance for the description of multiphase fluid flow in most contemporary reservoirs. There is thus a need for experimental and numerical methods that integrate all salient details about fluid-fluid and rock-fluid interactions. Such hybrid, laboratory-simulation projects are necessary to develop realistic models of fractional flow in complex rocks, i.e., saturation-dependent capillary pressure and relative permeability. Furthermore, these two crucial properties are usually measured independently. Capillary pressure is typically assessed using static measurements and unrealistic pressure conditions, whereas relative permeability is evaluated dynamically. Consequently, the disparity between the nature of the two experimental procedures often results in a potentially significant loss of information. We document a new high-resolution visualization technique that provides experimental insight to quantify fluid saturation patterns in heterogeneous rocks which allow for the simultaneous and dynamic evaluation of two-phase flow properties. The experimental apparatus consists of an X-ray microfocus scanner and an automated syringe pump. Rather than using traditional cylindrical cores, thin rectangular rock samples are examined, their thickness being one order of magnitude smaller than the remaining two dimensions. During the experiment, the core is scanned quasicontinuously while the fluids are being injected, allowing for time-lapse visualization of the flood front. Numerical simulations are then conducted to match the experimental data and quantify effective saturation-dependent relative permeability and capillary pressure. The experimental results indicate that flow patterns and in-situ saturations are highly dependent on the nature of the heterogeneity and bedding-plane orientation during both imbibition and drainage cycles. In homogeneous rocks, fluid displacement approaches piston-like behavior. The assessment of capillary pressure and relative permeability is performed by examining the time-lapse water saturation profiles resulting from fluid displacement. In spatially complex rocks, high-resolution time-lapse images reveal preferential flow paths along high-permeability sections and a lowered sweep efficiency. Our experimental procedure emphasizes that capillary pressure and transmissibility differences play an important role in fluid-saturation distribution and sweep efficiency at late times. The method is fast and reliable to assess mixing laws for fluid-transport properties of rocks in spatially complex formations." @default.
