Compositional reservoir models have many uses, including petroleum reservoir simulation,
the simulation of flow and remediation of nonaqueous petroleum liquids, and the study of …

In this work, we provide a physically-consistent modeling approach for two-phase porous
media flow, by including percolating interfacial area and saturation as state variables. For …

Reliable simulation of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes depends on an accurate
description of fluid transport in the subsurface. Current empirical transport models of rock …

The complex interaction between fluids and solids in reservoirs includes interface slip,
capillary confinement and the diffusion and mass transfer between CO 2 and oil and results …

We study the impact of explicitly including hysteresis effects (HEs) for relative permeabilities
in numerical simulations of enhanced oil recovery approaches grounded on the application …

Relative permeability (kr) is commonly modeled as an empirical function of phase saturation.
Although current empirical models can provide a good match of one or two measured …

Hysteresis of transport properties like relative permeability (kr) can lead to computational
problems and inaccuracies for various applications including CO 2 sequestration and …

Standard compositional simulators use composition-dependent cubic equations of state
(EoS), but saturation-dependent relative permeability and capillary pressure. This …

Hysteresis of transport properties like relative permeability (Kr) can lead to computational
problems and inaccuracies for various applications including CO2 sequestration and …

Current HLD-NAC theory and most simulators represent multicomponent mixtures with three
lumped components, where the excess phases are also assumed pure. This can cause …
