Title: Relative permeability of gas and water flow in hydrate-bearing porous media: A micro-scale study by lattice Boltzmann simulation

Abstract

The water-gas relative permeability is an important parameter to characterize multiphase flow in sediments. To study the water-gas relative permeability of hydrate-bearing porous media, multiphase flow simulations were carried out at the pore scale using the lattice Boltzmann method. In this work, the effects of hydrate saturation and hydrate-growth habits on the water-gas relative permeability, which is scaled by the relative permeability considering the hydrate only, were evaluated in a two-dimensional porous medium. Results show that the increase of hydrate saturation causes the decrease of water-gas effective permeability as expected. However, the effect of hydrate saturation on the water-gas relative permeability is different from that of hydrate saturation on the water-gas effective permeability. The water-gas relative permeability increases with the increase of hydrate saturation in the pore-filling case. The water-gas relative permeability decreases with the increase of hydrate saturation in the grain-coating case. The wettability of solid phase has a different effect on the relative permeability of wetting phase and nonwetting phase. The Jamin effect (phase blocking) was observed and may exist in the production of gas from natural gas hydrate reservoirs. This seriously affects the multiphase flow characteristics. The changes of microscale fluid distribution effect the changes of water-gasmore »« less

The Effect of Wettability Heterogeneity on Relative Permeability of Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media: A Lattice Boltzmann Study

Journal Article Zhao, Jianlin ; Kang, Qinjun ; Yao, Jun ; ... - Water Resources Research

Abstract Relative permeability is a critical parameter characterizing multiphase flow in porous media and it is strongly dependent on the wettability. In many situations, the porous media are nonuniformly wet. To investigate the effect of wettability heterogeneity on relative permeability of two‐phase flow in porous media, a multi‐relaxation‐time color‐gradient lattice Boltzmann model is adopted to simulate oil/water two‐phase flow in porous media with different oil‐wet solid fractions. For the water phase, when the water saturation is high, the relative permeability of water increases with the increase of oil‐wet solid fraction under a constant water saturation. However, as the water saturationmore »« less

In porous media containing gas hydrate, the hydrate morphology impacts the flow behavior of the fluid phases. We hypothesize that hydrate emplaces itself as a nonwetting phase and use this idea to describe relative permeability of water in a hydrate/water system. We perform steady-state relative permeability measurements in hydrate-bearing samples with a range of hydrate saturation. We measure and compare water relative permeability in the presence of gas and in the presence of hydrate and find that the water relative permeability is the same in both cases. This suggests that (1) relative permeability for hydrate systems can be obtained withoutmore »« less

Final report of “A Detailed Study of the Physical Mechanisms Controlling CO2-Brine Capillary Trapping in the Subsurface” (University of Arizona, DE-SC0006696)

Technical Report Schaap, Marcel G.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) of carbon dioxide emissions generated by production or combustion of fossil fuels is a technologically viable means to reduce the build-up of CO2 in the atmosphere and oceans. Using advantages of scale and location, CCS is particularly suitable for large point sources near ubiquitous deep saline aquifers, depleted gas reservoirs, or at production reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In the BES-funded research project, Oregon State University (OSU) carried out capillary trapping experiments with proxy fluids that mimic the properties of the scCO2/brine system under ambient temperatures and pressures, and successfully developed a unique andmore »« less

Mechanisms Leading to Co-Existence of Gas Hydrate in Ocean Sediments [Part 1 of 2]

Technical Report Bryant, Steven ; Juanes, Ruben

In this project we have sought to explain the co-existence of gas and hydrate phases in sediments within the gas hydrate stability zone. We have focused on the gas/brine interface at the scale of individual grains in the sediment. The capillary forces associated with a gas/brine interface play a dominant role in many processes that occur in the pores of sediments and sedimentary rocks. The mechanical forces associated with the same interface can lead to fracture initiation and propagation in hydrate-bearing sediments. Thus the unifying theme of the research reported here is that pore scale phenomena are key to understandingmore »« less
