主 题:Countercurrent spontaneous imbibition Multi-scaled pore structures Selectivity of wetting phase to pore size Lattice Boltzmann method
摘 要:The multi-scaled pore networks of shale or tight reservoirs are considerably different from the conventional sandstone *** hydraulic fracturing treatment,the spontaneous imbibition process plays an important role in the productivity of the horizontal *** the color-gradient model of Lattice Boltzmann Method(LBM)accelerated with parallel computing,we studied the countercurrent spontaneous imbibition process in two kinds of pore structures with different interlacing distributions of large and small *** effect of geometry configuration of pore arrays with different pore-scale and the capillary number Ca on the mechanism of counter-current spontaneous imbibition as well as the corresponding oil recovery factor are *** found that the wetting phase tends to invade the small pore array under small Ca in both types of geometry configurations of different pore arrays of four pore arrays *** wetting phase also tends to invade the pore array near the inlet for injecting the wetting phase no matter if it is a large pore array or small pore array except for the situation when the Ca is large to a certain *** this situation,the small pore arrays show resistance to the wetting phase,so the wetting phase doesn t invade the small pore near the inlet,but invades the large pore *** the geometry configurations of different pore arrays and Ca have a significant effect on the oil recovery *** work will help to solve the doubt about the selectivity of the multi-scaled pores of the wetting phase and the role of pores with different sizes in imbibition and oil draining in countercurrent spontaneous imbibition processes.
