Abstract
Aim. Paper presents the results of implementation “Computational Rock Physics” tool.
Materials and methods. As a pilot program, core samples from Kharyaga carbonate D3-III were investigated and tested with the tool. One of the main advantages of using this tool is that it is less time consuming compared to laboratory tests. This becomes more obvious when core has permeabilities of 1mD or even less. In laboratory in can take from 1 to 3 months to estimate relative permeabilities or displacement coefficient, compared to desktop calculation — depending on CPU from 1 to 10 days. Another possible advantage of the tool is lower costs for one experiment. General procedure in applying tool is done in two steps: first one, initially samples go through high-resolution tomograph, second step, with application of the tool, relative permeabilities and displacement coefficient are calculated.
Results. This paper shows following calculations/injection schemes performed: injection of surfactant/polymer composition in oil saturated sample, injection of surfactant/polymer analogue composition in oil saturated sample, injection of gas in oil saturated sample. Attempt was made to compare achieved results with laboratory data, however it has some limitations.
Conclusions. Next step in developing technology is to include such options as: connate water saturation set up, simultaneous calculation for 3 phases — air, gas and water, miscible gas injection (CO2).
