Steady-state supercritical CO₂ and brine relative permeability in Berea sandstone at different temperature and pressure conditions

Journal Article Chen, Xiongyu ; Gao, Shuang ; Kianinejad, Amir ; ... - Water Resources Research

In this study, we measure steady-state two-phase supercritical CO₂-brine relative permeabilities in a 61 cm-long Berea sandstone core at three different conditions (408C and 12.41 MPa, 408C and 8.27 MPa, and 608C and 12.41 MPa) under primary drainage. We use pressure taps to obtain pressure drops of individual sections of the core, and X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) to obtain in situ saturation profiles, which together help to mitigate the capillary end effect. We include previously measured relative permeabilities at 208C and 10.34 MPa, and compare all the data using both an eye-test and a statistical test. We find no appreciablemore »« less

An extended JBN method of determining unsteady-state two-phase relative permeability

Journal Article Chen, Xiongyu ; Kianinejad, Amir ; DiCarlo, David A. - Water Resources Research

Relative permeability is the reduction of permeability of porous media when subjected to multiphase flow and a key parameter in subsurface hydrology. The JBN method is a well-known method of obtaining relative permeability, which measures the overall pressure drop and the effluent phase ratio versus time during two-phase displacements. By assuming no capillary pressure or gravity, the JBN method obtains the relative permeabilities to both phases at the core outlet. Since data across a range of saturations are acquired in a relatively short time, this method is widely used. This work extends the JBN method by having (1) section-wise pressuremore »« less

Measurements of CO ₂ ‐brine relative permeability in Berea sandstone using pressure taps and a long core

Journal Article Chen, Xiongyu ; Kianinejad, Amir ; A. DiCarlo, David - Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology

Abstract We measured CO ₂ ‐brine relative permeability by performing five steady‐state primary drainage experiments in a 116 mD Berea sandstone core at 20°C and 10.34 MPa. We used a long (60.8 cm) core and four pressure taps to study and minimize end effects that can plague CO ₂ ‐brine relative permeability measurements, and we obtained in situ saturation profiles using a medical X‐ray Computed Tomography (CT) scanner. We found that entrance and exit effects propagated ∼5 cm into the core, but the center sections of the core had uniform saturation. From the saturations and pressure drops, we obtained bothmore »« less
