Microscopic mechanism of fracturing fluid imbibition in stimulated tight oil reservoir

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2021
The imbibition of fracturing fluid is of great significance to improve the development of fractured tight oil reservoirs. Understanding the micro-characteristics of fracturing fluid imbibition is necessary to improve the imbibition efficiency.

Effects of Clay Minerals and External Pressures on Imbibition in Shales

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Imbibition is an important mechanism of recovery during waterflooding and low flow-back during fracking in shale reservoirs. Experiments were carried out to study the development of imbibition in shale samples.

Experiments and Modeling on the Influence of Interfacial Tension on Imbibition Height of Low-Permeability Reservoir

open access: yesGeofluids, 2020
Low-permeability reservoirs have tiny pores with winding and complicated pore throats. The oil recovery efficiency of low-permeability reservoirs can be enhanced through the displacement of reservoir oil through imbibition.

Effect of viscosity on oil recovery by spontaneous imbibition from partially water-covered matrix blocks

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2021
Spontaneous imbibition is an important mechanism of oil recovery from fractured reservoirs and unconventional reservoirs. Oil is produced by combining co- and counter-current imbibition when the matrix blocks was partially covered by water. In this paper,

Differences in Imbibition Efficiency Between Bedding and Tectonic Fractures in the Lucaogou Formation in the Jimusar Sag: Evidence From Simulation Experiments

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
In addition to tectonic fractures, the ubiquitous and important bedding fractures are often overlooked in the imbibition processes. Based on the identification of different fracture types in tight sandstone from the middle Permian Lucaogou Formation in ...

Spontaneous imbibition in asymmetric branch-like throat structures in unconventional reservoirs

open access: yes, 2017
Unconventional reservoirs, especially shale plays, have abundant micro nano pores. Large volume water was injected into the reservoir during hydraulic fracturing.

Wettability alteration and oil recovery by spontaneous imbibition of smart water and surfactants into carbonates

open access: yesPetroleum Science, 2020
Naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs have very low oil recovery efficiency owing to their wettability and tightness of matrix. However, smart water can enhance oil recovery by changing the wettability of the carbonate rock surface from oil-wet to ...

A Generalized Capillary Imbibition Model for Porous Media in Tight Reservoirs

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2018
Capillary imbibition models have been widely studied in oil and gas development field over the past decades. However, the existing models applied to the tight reservoirs rarely take fluid flow resistance and apparent viscosity into account.
