Gravity drainage is the main mechanism which controls the oil recovery from fractured reservoirs in both gas-cap drive and gas injection processes. The liquid bridge formed between two adjacent matrix blocks is responsible for capillary continuity phenomenon. The accurate determination of gas-liquid interface profile of liquid bridge is crucial to predict fracture capillary pressure precisely. ...

background: considering suggested formula in the references and pcwp measured by catheterism, in the present study the relation between pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (pcwp) measured the flow velocity of mitral valve and mitral annulus motion through tissue doppler imaging is evaluated methods: 52 cases of severe ms were admitted for balloon mitral valvolotomy (bmv) are included in this stu...

In this paper, a very efficient method, called single matrix block analyzer (SMBA), has been developed to determine relative permeability and capillary pressure curves from spontaneous imbibition (SI) data. SMBA mimics realistically the SI tests by appropriate boundary conditions modeling. In the proposed method, a cuboid with an identical core plug height is considered. The equal dimensions of...

rock selection in modeling and simulation studies is usually based on two techniques; routinely defined rock types and those defined by special core analysis (scal). the challenge in utilizing these two techniques is that they are frequently assumed to be the same, but in practice, static rock-types (routinely defined) are not always representative of dynamic rock-types (scal defined) in the re...

The evaluation of a free fluid surface in a porous medium has several mathematical applications that are important in industries using molds, particularly in the fluid injection process. The vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process is a promising technology in the primary composite industry. An accurate computational simulation of the VARTM process would be a cost-effective tool i...

Capillary pressure and relative permeability are important parameters in geothermal reservoir engineering. It is essential to represent capillary pressure curves mathematically in an appropriate way. The Brooks-Corey capillary pressure model has been accepted widely, however it has been found that the Brooks-Corey model cannot represent capillary pressure curves of The Geysers rock samples. In ...

Abstract A universal capillary pressure model developed from fractal modeling of a porous medium was verified using the experimental data of capillary pressure curves of rock samples from The Geysers geothermal field. The capillary pressure curves were measured using a mercury intrusion technique. The results showed that the universal model could represent the capillary pressure curves of The G...
