Spontaneous imbibition characteristics of diatomite [PDF]
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2000 Abstract A systematic investigation of fluid flow characteristics within diatomite (a high porosity, low permeability, siliceous rock) is reported. Using an X-ray computerized tomography (CT) scanner, and a novel, CT-compatible imbibition cell, we study spontaneous cocurrent water imbibition into diatomite samples. Air–water and oil–water systems are

Onset of Spontaneous Imbibition [PDF]
, 2017 The spontaneous imbibition process in porous media is an important recovery mechanism and is governed by capillary forces that arise when two immiscible fluids are present in the pore space. This thesis presents new observations where the displacement process deviates from the widespread assumption of a uniformly shaped saturation front and the square ...

Mechanisms of Spontaneous Imbibition and Wettability Reversal of Sandstone Cores by a Novel Imbibition Agent [PDF]
, 2022 The basic performance of a novel high-efficiency spontaneous imbibition agent (SXJ-2) was investigated in this study. The mechanisms of spontaneous imbibition and wettability reversal of an oil-wet sandstone surface (OSS) by SXJ-2 were studied by ...

Lattice Boltzmann Modeling of Spontaneous Imbibition in Variable-Diameter Capillaries [PDF]
, 2022 Previous micro-scale studies of the effect of pore structure on spontaneous imbibition are mainly limited to invariable-diameter capillaries. However, in real oil and gas reservoir formations, the capillary diameters are changing and interconnected ...

ANALYSIS OF SPONTANEOUS IMBIBITION IN FRACTAL TREE-LIKE NETWORK SYSTEM [PDF]
, 2016 Spontaneous imbibition in porous media is common in nature, imbibition potential is very important for understanding the imbibition ability, or the ability to keep high imbibition rate for a long time.

Spontaneous Imbibition Experiment in Newspaper Sheets
Physical Review Letters, 2010 We study the behavior of an ink-paper interface in a spontaneous imbibition experiment as a function of time and paper orientation. To characterize the interface roughness the growth beta and Hurst H exponents (calculated using the root mean square interface width W) and the H{q} scaling exponent (calculated using the qth order height-height ...

The Onset of Spontaneous Imbibition: How Irregular Fronts Influence Imbibition Rate and Scaling Groups [PDF]
, 2018 Spontaneous imbibition is a capillary dominated displacement process where a non-wetting fluid is displaced from a porous medium by the inflow of a more-wetting fluid.

Spontaneous Imbibition in Nanopores of Different Roughness and Wettability [PDF]
Langmuir, 2010 The spontaneous imbibition of liquid in nanopores of different roughness is investigated using coarse grain molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The numerical model is presented and the simplifying assumptions are discussed in detail. The molecular-kinetic theory introduced by Blake is used to describe the effect of dynamic contact angle on fluid ...
