this work is a primary achievement in studying the co2 and n2–oil systems. to predict gas-liquid relative permeability curves, a shan-chen type multicomponent multiphase lattice boltzmann model for two-phase flow through 2d porous media is developed. periodic and bounce back boundary conditions are applied to the model with the guo scheme for the external body force (i.e., the pressure gradient...

Petro physics, rock physics and multi-attribute analysis have been employed in an integrated approach to delineate porosity variation across Tamag Field of Niger Delta Basin. Gamma and resistivity logs were employed to identify sand bodies and correlated across the field. Petro physical analysis was undertaken. Rock physics modelling and multi-attribute analysis were carried out. Two hydrocarbo...

For this study we selected 20 drill cores covering a wide range of depths (400-3000 m), from 15 wells, that provide a reasonable coverage of the field. Only andesite, the largely predominant rock type in the field, was included in this sample. We measured bulk density, grain (solids) density, effective porosity and (matrix) permeability on a considerable number of specimens taken from the cores...

The permeability k and porosity φ of vesicular basalts are measured. The relationship between k and φ reflects the formation and emplacement of the basalts and can be related to the crystal and vesicle microstructure obtained by image analysis. Standard theoretical models relating k and φ that work well for granular materials are unsuccessful for vesicular rocks due to the fundamental differenc...

for obtaining reservoir petrophysical properties, for example porosity, non-destructive methods such as x-ray computed tomography, ct, seems to be precise and accurate. porosity is deducted from the ct image with a single scan via different techniques, such as pore space detection by image segmentation techniques then correlation with porosity. more than one hundred samples with carbonate li...

Pore structure, tortuosity and permeability are considered key properties of porous materials such as cement pastes to understand their long-term durability performance. Three-dimensional image analysis techniques were used in this study to quantify pore size, effective porosity, tortuosity, and permeability from the X-ray computed tomography (CT) images of deteriorated pastes that were subject...

Ceramic foams are a new structural material, characterized by a high porosity and a large surface area and made of megapores interconnected by filaments. This results in a structure with low resistance to fluid flow, making them appropriate for use as a filter. This work studies the influence of several structural parameters, such as porosity, tortuosity, surface area and pore diameter, in pred...
