Three Phase Measurements of Nonwetting Phase Trapping in Unconsolidated Sand Packs

We perform a series of experiments in water-wet sand packs to measure the trapped saturations of oil and gas as a function of initial saturation. We start with brine-saturated columns and inject octane (oil) to reach irreducible water saturation followed by displacement by air (gas) from the top, al...
