We present a detailed, synthesized review of experimental studies on three‐phase relative
permeability published since 1980. We provide comprehensive, yet highly focused, analysis …

Imaging the distribution of porosity, permeability, and fluid phases is important to
understanding single and multiphase flow characteristics of porous media. X-ray computed …

The use of dual-energy CT-scanning for evaluating reservoir rocks is not a new technique. It
involves scanning the same location within the rock twice, using a different X-ray energy …

We measured three phase relative permeabilities for gravity drainage using a dual-energy
medical CT scanner modified to scan vertical cores. Independent measurements of two …

We develop a method to measure liquid relative permeability in rocks directly from transient
in situ saturation profiles during gravity drainage experiments. Previously, similar methods …

Saline formations are attractive geologic reservoirs for permanent carbon dioxide (CO 2)
storage. The US Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE …

Three-phase fluid flow in reservoirs is present in the entire process of oil field development,
and three-phase relative permeability data are crucial for reservoir engineering and …

A medical‐based X‐ray CT scanner was used to monitor the diffusion of NaI into the matrix
of a 20‐cm‐long, 5‐cm diameter fractured chalk core. The core was retrieved from a core …

Heavy oil deposits are unconventional resources that are complex and challenging to
produce. These unconventional resources usually require thermal recovery techniques to …

Simulation and fluid flow prediction of many petroleum‐enhanced oil recovery methods as
well as environmental processes such as carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage or …
