Abstract:

The function of capillary pressure in the process of CO2 displacement in low-permeability reservoir is researched through combination of indoor experiments and numerical simulation. On the basis of different displacement experiments in long core chamber, one-dimensional numerical simulation component model is built to research the function of capillary pressure under the different CO2 displacement ways. The results show that the capillary pressure under the different CO2 displacement ways is not consistent. Capillary pressure is the driving force in the process of CO2 displacement while resistance force in the process of CO2 pressure buildup and displacement. In order to promote reasonable and efficient development of low-permeability reservoirs, it is suggested that further study about microscopic effects and laws of the capillary pressure in the reservoir should be done through experiment.

"My experiences in publishing a paper with Bentham Open is good. I must say that the speed of publication in The Open Petroleum Engineering Journal is very fast. It takes only two month for the pioneer reviewing process. The delay was caused by me. And what’s more, the publisher’s office is quite helpful. I guess they are dealing with thousands emails every week, but they process my request in a very short period of time."
