Area of Science:

  • Petrophysics and Reservoir Engineering
  • Advanced Imaging Techniques
  • Multiphase Flow in Porous Media

Background:

  • Accurate monitoring of multiphase displacement is vital for reservoir simulation model development and validation.
  • Existing methods for saturation monitoring can lack the necessary spatial or temporal resolution for dynamic processes.
  • Characterizing fluid distribution in porous rocks is key for understanding subsurface processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the first application of chemically-selective 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for dynamic core flood experiments.
  • To quantitatively assess oil and water saturations with high spatial and temporal resolution.
  • To benchmark MRI-derived saturation data against established methods like NMR spectroscopy and volumetric analysis.

Main Methods:

  • A chemically-selective 3D MRI technique was employed to monitor a dynamic imbibition core flood experiment.
  • Dodecane and water saturations were quantitatively imaged in an Estaillades carbonate rock core plug.
  • MRI data was validated against nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and core flood effluent volumetric analysis.

Main Results:

  • Excellent agreement was achieved between MRI, NMR, and volumetric measurements of dodecane and water saturations.
  • Absolute errors in saturation measurements by MRI and NMR were 0.04 or less.
  • High-temporal resolution (16 min/image) 3D MRI captured spatial and temporal dynamics of dodecane displacement by water at 100 µm resolution.

Conclusions:

  • Chemically-selective 3D MRI provides accurate, quantitative, and spatially resolved saturation data for dynamic core flood experiments.
  • The technique is validated against established methods, demonstrating its reliability for petrophysical research.
  • This MRI approach offers valuable insights into structure-transport relationships in multiphase flow within complex porous materials.
