Experimental Evaluation of the effect of change in in-situ net effective pressure on multiphase flow characteristics of geological reservoirs

This research has focused on providing a deep understanding of the impact of effective stress on multiphase flow behaviour of subsurface fluid-rock systems. The results are insightful in quantifying and comparing such effects for both carbonate and sandstone porous rocks. The information generated c...

Description
Summary:This research has focused on providing a deep understanding of the impact of effective stress on multiphase flow behaviour of subsurface fluid-rock systems. The results are insightful in quantifying and comparing such effects for both carbonate and sandstone porous rocks. The information generated can have important implications for numerical simulation of hydrocarbon production and carbon dioxide storage processes at the reservoir scale.
