The predictive capabilities of some existing theoretical models to quantify thermodiffusion
have been investigated in this work. To do so, the tests have been performed on two model …

In many petroleum reservoirs, the fluid properties vary through the reservoir thickness.
Variation of the composition, ie compositional grading, can affect reserve estimation …

Heterogeneity of fluid composition in vertical and lateral directions is observed in many
reservoirs, known as compositional grading. It is necessary to evaluate the diffusion forces …

Transport coefficients (like diffusion and thermodiffusion) are the key parameters to be
studied in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. For practical applications, it is important to …

The aim of the study is to find representative fluid samples and study depth gradient and
lateral variations in the Lower Cretaceous reservoir. Consistency analysis methods for the …

Building on recent simulation work, it is demonstrated using molecular dynamics simulations
of two-component fluid mixtures that the chemical contribution to the Soret effect in two …

Most compositional reservoir simulation practices assume that the compositions of various
fluid components are the same at all locations within the reservoir system. This constant …

It has been observed many times that the distribution of hydrocarbons in petroleum
reservoirs may be non-uniform. This variation may be especially high in tight reservoirs …

The problem of fluid distribution is relevant to a number of tight petroleum reservoirs in the
North Sea. Proper understanding of the reservoir fluid composition, its initial state, and its …

The investigation of soft matter under non-equilibrium conditions attracts intense scrutiny.
External fields, eg magnetic or electrostatic can impart striking responses to soft matter …
