Spontaneous imbibition controls many processes of practical importance. The subject is
undergoing rapid growth in terms of the number of publications. This paper is a selective …

Bentheimer sandstone outcrop samples are ideal for laboratory studies due to their lateral
continuity and block scale homogeneous nature. Over the years they have been used to …

Spontaneous imbibition (SI) is one of the primary mechanisms of oil production from matrix
system in fractured reservoirs. The main driving force for SI is capillary pressure …

Abstract Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFR's) have received little attention as potential
CO2 storage sites. Two main facts deter from storage projects in fractured reservoirs:(1) CO2 …

The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of boundary condition and
pore size on spontaneous imbibition in tight sandstones, and to simulate and interpret the …

Water flooding is the most widely applied recovery process in both conventional and heavy
oil reservoirs. It is generally accepted that theories explaining water flooding performance in …

Two-phase flow through porous media is important to the development of secondary and
tertiary oil recovery. In the present work, we have simulated oil recovery through a pore …

Analysis of fluid flow in naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs), as a highly heterogeneous and
complex system, requires a detailed study of the fracture-matrix interactions. The main …

We perform spontaneous imbibition experiments on three carbonates-Estaillades, Ketton,
and Portland-which are three quarry limestones that have very different pore structures and …

Counter-current imbibition behavior is an important mechanism for exploiting oil recovery
during shut-in periods after hydraulic fracturing in tight oil reservoirs. However, most …
