In-situ characterization of capillary pressure during three-phase flow in porous media [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
We characterize the pore-scale fluid distributions, phase connectivity, and local capillary pressures during three-phase flow in a water-wet Berea sandstone sample.

Dynamic pore-scale modeling of residual fluid configurations in disordered porous media [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Fluid trapping in porous media is important in many subsurface flow processes such as enhanced oil recovery and geological sequestration of carbon dioxide.

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 the Effect of a Power-law Fluid Flow Structures on Levels of Mixing in a Taylor Couette Configuration [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2023
This work is a numerical study on the effects of the flow structures of the power-law fluid between two concentric cylinders with an upward laminar axial flow on levels of mixing and mean residence time through the Taylor Couette system.

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.

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.

Research on Stress Sensitivity of Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs Based on CT Technology

open access: yesEnergies, 2017
Fracture aperture change under stress has long been considered as one of primary causes of stress sensitivity of fractured gas reservoirs. However, little is known about the evolution of the morphology of fracture apertures on flow property in loading ...

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.

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.
