Mathematical Modeling of Traveling Liquid Bridges between Matrix Blocks in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Masihi, Mohsen (Supervisor) ; Hassanzadeh, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
It is widely accepted that under reservoir conditions there exists some degree of block-to-block interaction that may lead to capillary continuity. The formation of liquid bridges causing capillary continuity between blocks will significantly affect the ultimate oil recovery. However, accurate modeling of the growth and detachment of traveling liquid bridges which causes capillary continuity between blocks remains a controversial topic. In this work the generalized continuity and momentum equations along with fracture capillary pressure are combined to develop a mechanistic model for formation of traveling liquid bridges between blocks. Firoozabadi and Ishimoto (1994) model is considered for...
