Spontaneous imbibition (SI) is one of the primary mechanisms of oil production from matrix
system in fractured reservoirs. The main driving force for SI is capillary pressure …

Spontaneous imbibition behavior gained popularity several decades ago which led to
widely exploited application in fractured reservoirs. Recently the imbibition behavior of …

Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a relatively new simulation technique for the modeling of
complex fluid systems and has attracted interest from researchers in computational physics …

Wettability of reservoir minerals and rocks is a critical factor controlling CO2 mobility,

Spontaneous imbibition is an area of significant interest to the petroleum industry due to its
large contribution to oil production in mature and fractured fields. This work discusses the …

Spontaneous imbibition is well-known to be one of the most effective processes of oil
recovery in fractured reservoirs. However, the detailed pore-scale mechanisms of the …

This work reviews the transient two-phase flow in porous media with engineering
applications in Geotechnics. It initially overviews constitutive relationships, conventional …

Models that describe two-fluid flow in porous media suffer from a widely recognized problem
that the constitutive relationships used to predict capillary pressure as a function of the fluid …

Carbonate rocks display complex pore textures with heterogeneities that extend over
several length scales. Identifying and capturing their significant pore space properties in a …

Countercurrent spontaneous imbibition is one of the most significant mechanisms for the
