Semi-Implicit Finite Volume Procedure for Compositional Subsurface Flow Simulation in Highly Anisotropic Porous Media

open access: yesFluids, 2021
Subsurface multiphase flow in porous media simulation is extensively used in many disciplines. Large meshes with non-orthogonalities (e.g., corner point geometries) and full tensor highly anisotropy ratios are usually required for subsurface flow ...

Numerical analysis of water-alternating-CO2 flooding for CO2-EOR and storage projects in residual oil zones

open access: yesInternational Journal of Coal Science & Technology, 2023
Residual oil zones (ROZs) have high residual oil saturation, which can be produced using CO2 miscible flooding. At the same time, these zones are good candidates for CO2 sequestration.

Numerical Study of Elasto-Plastic Hydraulic Fracture Propagation in Deep Reservoirs Using a Hybrid EDFM–XFEM Method

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Rock yielding may well take place during hydraulic fracturing in deep reservoirs. The prevailing models based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) are incapable of describing the evolution process of hydraulic fractures accurately.

Reconstruction of 3D multi-mineral shale digital rock from a 2D image based on multi-point statistics

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Introduction: Shale oil and gas reservoirs contain a variety of inorganic and organic pores that differ significantly from conventional reservoirs, making traditional experiments ineffective.

Reactive Flow in Fractured Porous Media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In this work we present a model reduction procedure to derive a hybrid-dimensional framework for the mathematical modeling of reactive transport in fractured porous media. Fractures are essential pathways in the underground which allow fast circulation of the fluids present in the rock matrix, often characterized by low permeability.

Direct Visualization of Nanoscale Salt Precipitation and Dissolution Dynamics during CO2 Injection

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
CO2 injection to enhance shale oil recovery provides a win-win solution to meet the global fuel shortage and realize ultimate carbon neutrality. When shale reservoirs contain high salinity water, CO2 injection can result in salt precipitation to block ...

Fates of Emitted Particles Depending on Mask Wearing Using an Approach Validated Across Spatial Scales

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, 2023
The spread of emitted potentially virus‐laden aerosol particles is known to be highly dependent on whether a mask is worn by an infected person and on the emission scenario, i.e., whether the person is coughing, speaking, or breathing.

A Pore-Scale Investigation of Residual Oil Distributions and Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Water flooding is an economic method commonly used in secondary recovery, but a large quantity of crude oil is still trapped in reservoirs after water flooding.

Pore-scale numerical simulation of supercritical CO2-brine two-phase flow based on VOF method

open access: yesNatural Gas Industry B, 2023
CO2 capture and storage technology is favorable for the reduction of CO2 emissions. In recent years, a great number of research achievements have been obtained on CO2 geological storage from nano scale to oil/gas reservoir scale, but most studies only ...
