A pore-scale study on the dynamics of spontaneous imbibition for heterogeneous sandstone gas reservoirs

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2023
The underlying mechanism for spontaneous imbibition in a water–gas system plays a significant role in hydraulic fracturing in sandstone gas reservoirs.

Experimental Investigation of Spontaneous Imbibition of Water into Hydrate Sediments Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Method

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Field observations show that less than one percent of dissociation water can be produced during gas hydrate production, resulting from spontaneous water imbibition into matrix pores. What’s more, the hydrate sediments are easily dispersed in water,

Measurement of Spontaneous Imbibition Capillary Pressure, Saturation and Resistivity Index by Counter Current Technique at Net Reservoir Stress and Elevated Temperature [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2019
Capillary pressure and resistivity index spontaneous imbibition experiments by the porous plate method, in a core holder at elevated temperature and net reservoir stress, are both difficult and time consuming special core analysis measurements to perform.

Microcalorimetric Study of Carbonating Produced Water as a Promising CO2 Storage and Enhanced Oil Recovery Method

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Carbonated produced water injection (CPWI) might be considered an efficient alternative to handle the largest waste stream while enhancing the oil recovery and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) underground.

Simulation of pore-scale microscopic spontaneous imbibition of shale based on level-set method

open access: yesYouqi dizhi yu caishoulu
The core pore structure of the target shale oil block was finely characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and a microscopic numerical model of the pore-scale core was constructed to elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms and the main controlling ...

Dynamic Pore-Scale Network Modeling of Spontaneous Water Imbibition in Shale and Tight Reservoirs

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Spontaneous water imbibition plays an imperative role in the development of shale or tight oil reservoirs. Spontaneous water imbibition is helpful in the extraction of crude oil from the matrix, although it decreases the relative permeability of the ...

A general approach to spontaneous imbibition [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012
Spontaneous imbibition occurs in a porous medium when, driven by capillary forces, a wetting fluid such as water displaces a nonwetting fluid like oil or air. This is a common phenomenon, relevant to many processes such as groundwater contamination, steam migration in geothermal systems, carbon dioxide sequestration, and oil recovery.

Interfacial Bioengineering of Dynamic Networks Hybrid Hydrogel for Programmed Intervention in Oral Precancerous Epithelial States

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a dual‐bioinspired hydrogel, MSA@PGel (macrophage membrane‐coated and salvianolic acid B/5‐aminolevulinic acid co‐loaded liposomes embedded in a polydopamine‐based gel), that integrates macrophage membrane‐mediated active targeting and mussel‐inspired wet adhesion for programmed intervention in oral precancerous lesions.

Enhancing the spontaneous imbibition rate of water in oil-wet dolomite rocks through boosting a wettability alteration process using carbonated smart brines

open access: yesPetroleum Science, 2019
Most fractured carbonate oil reservoirs have oil-wet rocks. Therefore, the process of imbibing water from the fractures into the matrix is usually poor or basically does not exist due to negative capillary pressure.

An understanding of oil–water replacement mechanism based on interfacial tension gradient during the well shut-in

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2022
Spontaneous imbibition behavior of fracturing fluid retained in reservoirs is considered to be one of the important mechanisms of spontaneous oil–water displacement in tight reservoirs.
