Abstract
Summary This paper builds on a model for single-phase, non-Darcy flow in porous media presented in by Barree and Conway (2004). In this work, the generalized equation for single-phase non-Darcy flow is extended to multiphase-flow conditions. Laboratory measurements of gas/water flow were conducted in several flow cells to determine relative permeability curves and the nonlinear relationship between individual-phase flow rate and induced potential gradient over a wide range of input fractional-flow conditions and over a range of Reynolds numbers (Re). A model is presented to predict multiphase non-Darcy flow in porous media that is applicable to high-deliverability reservoirs and hydraulically fractured wells.
