Xenon NMR measurements of permeability and tortuosity in reservoir rocks.
In this work we present measurements of permeability, effective porosity and tortuosity on a variety of rock samples using NMR/MRI of thermal and laser-polarized gas. Permeability and effective porosity are measured simultaneously using MRI to monitor the inflow of laser-polarized xenon into the rock core. Tortuosity is determined from measurements of the time-dependent diffusion coefficient us...
متن کاملDetermination of Principal Permeability Directions in Reservoir Rocks from Micro-CT Data
The routine measurement of direction-dependent reservoir rock properties like permeability often takes place along the axial direction of core samples. As permeability is a tensor property of porous materials, it should be fully described by a tensor matrix or by three main permeabilities in principal directions. Due to compaction, cementation, and other lithification processes, which take plac...
متن کاملPermeability and Relative Permeability in Rocks
Important features of the topology of the pore space of rocks can be usefully quantiied by analyzing digitized images of rock cross sections. One approach computes statistical correlation functions using modern image processing techniques. These correlation functions contain information about porosity, speciic surface area, tortuosity, formation factor, and elastic constants, as well as the uid...
متن کاملPFG NMR measurements of tortuosity factors for diffusion in meso- and macropores of FCC catalysts
Pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR is applied to measure self-diffusion coefficients of 1,3,5 triisopropyl-benzene in the particles of several industrial FCC catalysts having different systems of mesoand macropores. Relating these diffusivities to the self-diffusion coefficient of 1,3,5 tri-isopropyl-benzene in the liquid phase, the tortuosity factors for diffusion in the mesoand macropores of the...
متن کاملTortuosity measurement and the effects of finite pulse widths on xenon gas diffusion NMR studies of porous media.
We have extended the utility of NMR as a technique to probe porous media structure over length scales of approximately 100-2000 microm by using the spin 1/2 noble gas 129Xe imbibed into the system's pore space. Such length scales are much greater than can be probed with NMR diffusion studies of water-saturated porous media. We utilized Pulsed Gradient Spin Echo NMR measurements of the time-depe...
