چکیده

residual gas saturation is one of the most important parameter in determining recovery factor of water-drive gas reservoir. visual observation of processes occurring at the pore level in micromodels can give an insight to fluid displacements at the larger scale and also help the interpretation of production performance at reservoir scale. in this study experimental tests in a glass micromodel were used to determine the influence of the capillary number and pore morphology on the residual gas saturation in gas–liquid two-phase flow. the saturation of the phases was determined through recorded images in the micromodel. 2d modeling and simulation of this process is presented in this study and simulation results are verified by comparing to experimental results where sufficient agreement was confirmed.  the simulation results indicate that pore morphology and capillary number have significant influence on the competition between frontal displacement and snap-off.  frontal displacement leads to high recovery and snap off causes gas entrapment. it is concluded that increasing the pore and throat sizes, increasing the coordination number and increasing angularity (decreasing half angle) result in reducing the residual gas amount. the results also indicate that residual gas saturation is not only a function of petrophysical property and pore morphology, but also it depends on flow rate and the experimental procedure. residual gas saturation does not change significantly when nc is less than 10-7.

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Experimental and Numerical Study of Residual Stress in the WC-12Co HVOF Sprayed Coatings

Thermally sprayed coatings are intrinsically associated with residual stresses in the deposits. These stresses are varied in nature and magnitude, and have a pronounced effect on the mechanical behavior of the system. In the current study, WC-12Co coatings were deposited using HVOF thermal spraying. The sin2ψ method was used to evaluate the through thickness residual stress by means ...

Experimental Study of the Residual Stresses in Girth Weld of Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline

In order to achieve integrated condition in the girth welding of high pressure natural gas transmission pipelines, the weld zones and its surrounding area should have good mechanical properties. Residual stresses are an important defect especially in the girth welding of the pipeline. In this study, two API X70 steel pipes (with spiral seam weld) of 56 inches outside diameter and 0.780 inch wal...

Numerical modeling of pore-scale phenomena during CO2 sequestration in oceanic sediments

Direct disposal of liquid CO2 on the ocean floor is one of the approaches considered for sequestering CO2 in order to reduce its concentration in the atmosphere. At oceanic depths deeper than approximately 3000 m, liquid CO2 density is higher than the density of seawater and CO2 is expected to sink and form a pool at the ocean floor. In addition to chemical reactions between CO2 and seawater to...
