Abstract

The impact of wettability on the co-moving velocity of two-fluid flow in porous media is analyzed herein. The co-moving velocity, developed by Roy et al. (Front Phys 8:4, 2022), is a novel representation of the flow behavior of two fluids through porous media. Our study aims to better understand the behavior of the co-moving velocity by analyzing simulation data under various wetting conditions. We analyzed 46 relative permeability curves based on the Lattice–Boltzmann color fluid model and two experimentally determined relative permeability curves. The analysis of the relative permeability data followed the methodology proposed by Roy et al. (Front Phys 8:4, 2022) to reconstruct a constitutive equation for the co-moving velocity. Surprisingly, the coefficients of the constitutive equation were found to be nearly the same for all wetting conditions. On the basis of these results, a simple approach was proposed to reconstruct the relative permeability of the oil phase using only the co-moving velocity relationship and the relative permeability of the water phase. This proposed method provides new information on the interdependence of the relative permeability curves, which has implications for the history matching of production data and the solution of the associated inverse problem. The research findings contribute to a better understanding of the impact of wettability on fluid flow in porous media and provide a practical approach for estimating relative permeability based on the co-moving velocity relationship, which has never been shown before.

润湿性对多孔介质中两种流体共流速度的影响
本文分析了润湿性对多孔介质中双流体流动的共移动速度的影响。共移动速度由 Roy 等人(Front Phys 8:4, 2022)提出,是双流体在多孔介质中流动行为的一种新表征。我们的研究旨在通过分析各种润湿条件下的模拟数据,更好地理解共移动速度的行为。我们分析了 46 条基于格点-玻尔兹曼彩色流体模型的相对渗透率曲线和两条实验测定的相对渗透率曲线。对相对渗透率数据的分析遵循了 Roy 等人(Front Phys 8:4, 2022)提出的方法,重建了共移动速度的构成方程。令人惊讶的是,在所有润湿条件下,构成方程的系数几乎相同。在这些结果的基础上,提出了一种简单的方法,即仅利用共移动速度关系和水相的相对渗透率来重建油相的相对渗透率。该方法提供了关于相对渗透率曲线相互依存关系的新信息,对生产数据的历史匹配和相关逆问题的解决具有重要意义。研究成果有助于更好地理解润湿性对多孔介质中流体流动的影响,并提供了一种基于共移动速度关系估算相对渗透率的实用方法,这在以前从未出现过。

期刊介绍: -Publishes original research on physical, chemical, and biological aspects of transport in porous media- Papers on porous media research may originate in various areas of physics, chemistry, biology, natural or materials science, and engineering (chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum, environmental, electrical, and mechanical engineering)- Emphasizes theory, (numerical) modelling, laboratory work, and non-routine applications- Publishes work of a fundamental nature, of interest to a wide readership, that provides novel insight into porous media processes- Expanded in 2007 from 12 to 15 issues per year. Transport in Porous Media publishes original research on physical and chemical aspects of transport phenomena in rigid and deformable porous media. These phenomena, occurring in single and multiphase flow in porous domains, can be governed by extensive quantities such as mass of a fluid phase, mass of component of a phase, momentum, or energy. Moreover, porous medium deformations can be induced by the transport phenomena, by chemical and electro-chemical activities such as swelling, or by external loading through forces and displacements. These porous media phenomena may be studied by researchers from various areas of physics, chemistry, biology, natural or materials science, and engineering (chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum, environmental, electrical, and mechanical engineering).
