... a situation where the AOP curve touches the saturation pressure curve; at temperatures beyond this point asphaltenes are stable. The remaining three plots illustrate a situation where the two curves do not intersect. On the bottom left and bottom right plots, the experimental data confirm that the AOP curve...

The 1-D core-model was set horizontally to mimic the experimental setup with 200 grid blocks (200 × 1 × 1) based on grid sensitivity analysis study. The core sample's length and diameter of 7.6 cm...

... between the simulation results and the experimental data is attributed to the numerical dispersion. In this study, we are focused on the capabilities of the ECLIPSE software to simulate tracer experiments in different systems. As shown in Figure 2 , ECLIPSE has various options to model tracers in porous...

The micromodel apparatus included: a precise flow-rate pump, transfer vessels, a high-speed camera, a digital microscope, and a micromodel holder. Figure 1 shows a photo of the micromodel experimental setup...

... experiments. However, these types of experiments are often long and expensive. Therefore, engineers use numerical simulations. The present study addresses a numerical model, which allows to take into account the modifications of the interfacial tension (IFT) and the mobility reduction factor due...

.... The latter two still need experimentally measured data for development and validation. Two- and three-phase relative permeability experiments are commonly measured using Steady-State (SS), UnSteady-State (USS) (dynamic displacement). In the SS technique, all phases, e.g., water, oil, and gas...

Reaction rates were adjusted by means of batch-reactor information, while nanoparticle retention was validated using reported single-phase core-flooding tests. Different core-flooding experiments from the literature were reproduced...

This paper was selected for presentation by an SPE program committee following review of information contained in an abstract submitted by the author(s...

... ( Kechut, Zain et al. 1999 ). Several experimental methods have been introduced to the industry to calculate MMP. The most reliable and common one is slimtube displacement experiment which is accepted worldwide ( Orr Jr., Silva et al. 1983 ). Although, in order to obtain a single MMP for a specific...
