... , In this work, we conduct a semi-analytical study and predict imbibition rate and volume using porosity, capillary pressure curves, and relative permeabilities, and elucidate a number of experimentally-observed phenomena. The presented workflow can also be used to back-calculate the saturation functions...

... water may additionally retard water production by reducing water relative permeability. Furthermore, it enhances effective porosity/permeability through mineral dissolution. However, in tight oil reservoirs, pressure maintenance efficacy could be an issue. Simulation results display a significant...

We have subdivided shale matrix into three zones, nano-pores, micro pores, and natural (macro) fractures along with propped fractures with distinctive PVT, rock compaction and relative permeability properties in a compositional simulation model. We have implemented...
