Effect of Wetting on Gravity Drainage in Porous Media

Transport in Porous Media, 2003
A series of benchmark experiments on the effect of the wetting state on the flow properties in porous media were performed, allowing us to relate the wetting properties at the pore scale to the macroscale hydrodynamics. Drainage of n-alkanes (oils) displaced by air in a model porous medium consisting of water-wet sand was studied using gamma-ray ...

Gravity Drainage in Oil Fields

Transactions of the AIME, 1944
Abstract Gravity drainage is the self-propulsion of oil downward in the reservoir rock.Under favorable natural and operational conditions, it has been found to effectrecoveries comparable to water displacement. With modern technical knowledge, the operator can often make a choice between dissolved gas drive, water ...

Left Heart Decompression by Closed Gravity Drainage

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1972
Abstract Decompression of the left ventricle by closed gravity drainage into the venous return reservoir was found to be an especially useful adjunct in coronary artery surgery. The preferred technique of transatrial cannulation of the left ventricle affords efficient left heart decompression during heart-lung bypass and is used for direct measurement

GRAVITY DRAINAGE IN HAND INFECTIONS

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1930
To the Editor: —In reply to the criticism of Dr. Douglas W. Owen (The Journal, Dec. 7, 1929, p. 1828) of my article on Gravity Drainage (The Journal, Oct. 5, 1929, p. 1083), he has apparently misconstrued my position on the subject since he states that "in the examples cited a lack of knowledge of the anatomy of the lymphatics of the hand has led to ...

Gravity, Blink Rate, and Lacrimal Drainage Capacity

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997
To investigate the influence of gravity and blink rate on lacrimal drainage capacity and to learn whether lacrimal pump function can be measured with the drop test.The drop test for lacrimal drainage capacity was performed in 20 test subjects, aged 12 to 30 years. Drops of a known volume of lukewarm saline solution were repeatedly instilled in the tear

Capillary, viscous and gravity forces in gas-assisted gravity drainage

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2014
Abstract The capillary, viscous and gravity forces were analyzed by performing numerical simulations of gas assisted gravity drainage (GAGD) process. The analysis was conducted using three dimensionless groups: capillary number (the ratio between the viscous and the capillary forces), bond number (the ratio between the gravity and the capillary ...

Oil Recovery by Gravity Drainage

Society of Petroleum Engineers Journal, 1980
Abstract Recent observations have indicated surprisingly high oil recoveries for gravity drainage. This has prompted us to reexamine gravity drainage as an oil recovery process. It is shown that oil relative permeability is a key factor.

Gravity Drainage To Horizontal Wells

Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 1992
Abstract Pressure depletion and high water-oil ratios limit the recovery which can be obtained from many oil reservoirs using conventional methods, to disappointingly low values. The maintenance of pressure by water injection (waterflooding) or by gas injection can be relatively ineffective because

Simulation of Compositional Gravity Drainage Processes

Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2007
Abstract The amount of wetting phase that is recovered by gravity drainage when the displacing fluid is not in chemical equilibrium with the initial fluid involves a complex interplay of gravitational, diffusive, and capillary forces.

Miscible Gas/Oil Gravity Drainage

International Oil Conference and Exhibition in Mexico, 2006
Abstract Oil recovery from oil and mixed-wet naturally fractured reservoirs is difficult. Standard production mechanisms like water injection and countercurrent imbibition will not work. Gas–oil gravity drainage (GOGD) is then the production mechanism of choice.
