Imbibition oil recovery improves the recovery rate of low-permeability fractured reservoirs in
petroleum fields. However, there is a lack of research on complex wettability and …

Fire prevention with inorganic gel is the most efficient approach to the prevention and control
for spontaneous fires of loose coal piles. This work explores the impact of grouting pressures …

As common physical phenomena in porous media, capillarity behaviors exist in many
engineering applications and natural science fields. The experimental, theoretical and …

When water imbibes into tight rocks, the disconnection of bulk gas phase will significantly
impact the performance of gas recovery. In this work, we have conducted a systematic …

Multiphase flow in low permeability porous media is involved in numerous energy and
environmental applications. However, a complete description of this process is challenging …

Fluids flow within microporous and nanoporous rocks involves several industrial processes
such as enhanced oil recovery, geological CO2 sequestration, and hydraulic fracturing …

Spontaneous imbibition is the main factor that reduces the fracturing efficiency and damages
gas production in shale gas wells, which is regulated by the gas–water interaction. Water …

Forced imbibition, the invasion of a wetting fluid into porous rocks, plays an important role in
the effective exploitation of hydrocarbon resources and the geological sequestration of …

A relatively large number of pH-sensitive minerals (eg, calcite, dolomite, siderite) and redox-
sensitive compositions (eg, organic matter, siderite, pyrite, and chlorite) are present in gas …

Spontaneous imbibition is a crucial two-phase flow process in a variety of subsurface and
industrial applications. Due to the lack of an efficient and reliable pore-scale model …
