Abstract
Abstract This paper builds on a model for single-phase non-Darcy flow in porous media presented in SPE 89325.1 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 non-linear 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.
