The petroleum industry always requires precise measurement of relative permeability. When it comes to the fractures, the measurement becomes extremely difficult since the saturation in the fractures is hard to calculate. In this study, we are aiming to provide a machine learning approach to distinguish voxel-based water and gas in rock fractures based on Computed Tomography. This research is di...

A study to characterize metal plates by means of a model-based, broadband, four-point potential drop measurement technique has shown that the relative permeability of alloy 1018 low-carbon steel is complex and a function of frequency. A magnetic relaxation is observed at approximately 5 kHz. The relaxation can be described in terms of a parametric (Cole-Cole) model. Factors which influence the ...

The simultaneous flow of oil and water in porous media is described by relative permeability curves, mainly derived from laboratory experiments. Relative permeability is of paramount importance in predicting reservoir production performance and drive mechanisms and its value depends largely on the volume fraction of fluids present in the test samples. Nowadays X-ray scanners are one of the most...
