Abstract

The future of the energy sector in the coming years is expected to be significantly affected by unconventional gas resources. Flow through porous media has many applications in the chemical, petroleum, gas, and pulp and paper industries, as well as in soil remediation and material characterization. In petroleum and natural gas production, flow through porous media has significance in the production of gas and/or oil. There are many characteristics of tight reservoir rock resulting in high and complex water saturation such as tiny pore throat, poor sorting, high displacement pressure, and so on. The one hand, the gas seepage is affected by the slippage effect, resulting in the abnormal gas relative permeability. On the other hand, the residual water of the tight core is controlled by displacement pressure. This study is directly related to gas reservoir engineering and is specifically focused to obtain fundamental information for two phase flow through low permeability porous media (Tight Sand Gas).
