Area of Science:

  • Petroleum Engineering
  • Reservoir Engineering
  • Geosciences

Background:

  • Fluid displacement in low-permeability fractured reservoirs is critical for oil recovery.
  • Existing static and dynamic imbibition experimental methods have limitations, including air pollution, long testing times, and inability to eliminate driving forces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design a dual-purpose experimental setup and method for both static and dynamic imbibition studies.
  • To overcome the limitations of conventional experimental techniques.
  • To investigate the effect of fracture width on dynamic imbibition.

Main Methods:

  • A novel dual-purpose experimental setup and method for static and dynamic imbibition were developed.
  • A fracture fluid flow rate calculation and motor speed conversion method was proposed to set dynamic imbibition parameters.
  • The device was validated against traditional static imbibition bottles and dynamic replacement methods.

Main Results:

  • The new device achieved a 1.55% higher static imbibition recovery rate compared to the static imbibition bottle.
  • Dynamic imbibition recovery rates were 3-6% lower than driving dynamic imbibition methods but isolated flow rate effects.
  • Optimal imbibition in fractured reservoirs occurs in fractures with widths between 50-100 μm.

Conclusions:

  • The developed dual-purpose device offers a more accurate and efficient approach for studying imbibition in fractured reservoirs.
  • The findings provide insights into the crucial role of fracture width in dynamic imbibition processes.
  • This research contributes to improved reservoir development strategies for low-permeability fractured systems.
