Reservoir Condition Pore-scale Imaging of Multiple Fluid Phases Using X-ray Microtomography
X-ray microtomography was used to image, at a resolution of 6.6 µm, the pore-scale arrangement of residual carbon dioxide ganglia in the pore-space of a carbonate rock at pressures and temperatures representative of typical formations used for CO2 storage. Chemical equilibrium between the CO2, brine and rock phases was maintained using a high pressure high temperature reactor, replicating condi...
متن کاملPore-scale contact angle measurements at reservoir conditions using X-ray microtomography
Contact angle is a principal control of the flow of multiple fluid phases through porous media; however its measurement on other than flat surfaces remains a challenge. A new method is presented for the measurement of the contact angle between immiscible fluids at the pore scale at reservoir conditions (10 MPa and 50 C) inside a quarry limestone through the use of X-ray microtomography. It is a...
متن کاملX-ray microtomography application in pore space reservoir rock.
Characterization of porosity in carbonate rocks is important in the oil and gas industry since a major hydrocarbons field is formed by this lithology and they have a complex media porous. In this context, this research presents a study of the pore space in limestones rocks by x-ray microtomography. Total porosity, type of porosity and pore size distribution were evaluated from 3D high resolutio...
متن کاملDynamics of soil pore space structure investigated by X-ray microtomography
Transport and transformation processes of solid, liquid and gaseous compounds/components in soils are intimately connected and strongly dependent on the state of soil structure and pore space geometries. Soil structure in turn is inherently dynamic due to changes in pore water pressure resulting in shrinking and swelling and/or soil compaction and shear deformation by applying external loads an...
متن کاملNetwork Analysis of Filter Cake Pore Structure by High Resolution X-Ray Microtomography
Continuous filtration of fine particles involves filter cake formation and removal of surface moisture by drawing air through the pore structure network. Conventional network theory can be use to study the phenomena of flow through a porous structure by treating the pores as discrete volumes and connecting these with pore throats as resistances of zero volume. In this regard, analysis of the po...
