Brinkman Flow
• The Brinkman momentum equation, which originally was derived
for a pressure-driven Darcy flow in porous media, then has been
generalized by Brinkman to account for the inertial forces,
pressure gradient, body forces, and shear stresses
• Brinkman (1974) showed that the following equation is more
appropriate for flow through highly permeable mediums:

Effect of permeability (particle size)

• Since now, there is no study
reported for using gases as
working fluid to investigate
Pre-Darcy flow.
CO2
CH4
The onset of Pre-Darcy is different
for each gas and occurs at a certain
low superficial velocity. This onset is
a function of k/𝜇 for the system.

 A percent of mobility is defined as the ratio of
mobility for Darcy equation to that for a real
system which obeys Pre-Darcy flow, named here
as peak or maximum mobility.
For a given pressure gradient, lower Pre-Darcy
velocity compared to Darcy velocity can be
imagined as a lower mobility, which results in a
deviation from 100% peak mobility. The
horizontal line at 100% mobility indicates Darcy
velocity obtained by drawing a Darcy straight line
from the origin for each data point.

• Dimensionless Reynolds number analysis is performed to characterize
different flow regimes and evaluate the range of Reynolds number for
different flow regimes.
• Figure shows f K-C versus Rep for core#6 with k=0.884 md. Deviation
from Darcy straight line at low pore Reynolds number indicates change
in governing equation of fluid flow in porous media known as pre-Darcy
flow. For this core, pre-Darcy flow becomes dominant when Rep< 0.004.
Also, at sufficient high fluid velocity when Rep > 0.29, the second
deviation from Darcy straight line was observed which is attributed to
post-Darcy or non-Darcy flow.

• Also, the pressure drop analysis was made using modified Reynolds
number, 𝑅𝑒√𝑘 and modified friction factor,𝑓√𝑘 (Farmani et al.,
2018).𝑅𝑒√𝑘 and 𝑓√𝑘 are used to evaluate permeability effect. Red is used
to evaluate the effect of Darcy velocity in Reynolds number. The values
of Red are reported in Table 6 for different core samples for pre-Darcy,
Darcy and non-Darcy flow regimes.
• 𝑅𝑒
𝑘
versus 𝑓√𝑘 is plotted in Figure 20 for core#5 with k=0.3 md. It can
be seen from this Figure that deviation from Darcy straight line occurs at
low pore Reynolds number and known as pre-Darcy flow. For this
particular core, pre-Darcy flow regime becomes dominant when
𝑅𝑒
𝑘
<1.6x10-06. Also, at sufficient high fluid velocity, the second
deviation from Darcy straight line can be observed called non-Darcy
flow. In this case with k=0.3 md, when 𝑅𝑒
𝑘
> 1.1x10-04, the non-Darcy
flow regime prevails.

Relative permeability concept
 A crucial SCAL parameter in multiphase flow through porous media
 The permeability of the rock to each of flowing immiscible phases (oil, water and gas) in the presence of
the other phases is called effective permeability to that phase.
 The effective permeability of rock to a fluid is a function of its saturation in the porous media, and the
effective permeability to a phase at its 100% saturation is simply equal to the absolute permeability.

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO PVT AND PHASE BEHAVIOR OF
RESERVOIR FLUIDS (RES 435) (online)
1-3 Jun 2021
25-27 Oct. 2021
Register@petro-teach.com
This course is designed to provide the audience with classical and novel approaches in phase behaviour studies of reservoir
fluids. The course starts with an overview of reservoir fluids and their classification. The audience will become familiar with the
role of PVT phase behavior in upstream field development plan and downstream process design. Then, the challenges and errors
associated with fluid sampling are reviewed. A detailed Quality check (QC) of collected fluid samples from subsurface and
surface is presented and discussed, and a unified approach is presented for sampling and recombination of gas condensate
samples to obtain a representative reservoir fluid. Next, PVT correlations and Physical property estimation methods are reviewed
for black oil and compositional fluid samples. Learning Objectives
• General reservoir fluid classifications; An overview of the PVT phase behaviour and its importance in the upstream and downstream process design
Overview of PVT test methods: CVD, CCE, DL, Flash, etc.
• Challenges and Errors associated with Sampling and Recombination of Gas Condensate Fluids; A Unified Approach for Quality Control (QC) of Drill Stem
Test (DST) and PVT Data
• PVT correlations and Physical property estimation: Black oil and Compositional
• Forward- and Backward-material balance of CVD Data
• Fluid Characterization: from classical to novel approaches
• Equation of State Tuning: State-of-the-Art approach; Integrated Characterization and a Tuning Strategy for the PVT Analysis of Representative Fluids

  • 13. 10/7/2020 13  A percent of mobility is defined as the ratio of mobility for Darcy equation to that for a real system which obeys Pre-Darcy flow, named here as peak or maximum mobility. For a given pressure gradient, lower Pre-Darcy velocity compared to Darcy velocity can be imagined as a lower mobility, which results in a deviation from 100% peak mobility. The horizontal line at 100% mobility indicates Darcy velocity obtained by drawing a Darcy straight line from the origin for each data point. %𝑀 = 𝑀 𝑢 𝐷 𝑀 𝑢 𝑝𝑟𝑒−𝐷 Peak Mobility ratio Pre-Darcy Flow in Dense Cores 26 • Properties of each core sample are given in Table 1. The core samples have permeability and porosity in the range of 0.011-18.53 md and 12.33-28.21 %. N2 is used as a gas phase for single-phase experiments.

Deviation from Darcy straight line at low pore Reynolds number indicates change in governing equation of fluid flow in porous media known as pre-Darcy flow. For this core, pre-Darcy flow becomes dominant when Rep< 0.004. Also, at sufficient high fluid velocity when Rep > 0.29, the second deviation from Darcy straight line was observed which is attributed to post-Darcy or non-Darcy flow. Dimensionless Reynolds number analysis
  • 15. 10/7/2020 15 29 • Also, the pressure drop analysis was made using modified Reynolds number, 𝑅𝑒√𝑘 and modified friction factor,𝑓√𝑘 (Farmani et al., 2018).𝑅𝑒√𝑘 and 𝑓√𝑘 are used to evaluate permeability effect. Red is used to evaluate the effect of Darcy velocity in Reynolds number. The values of Red are reported in Table 6 for different core samples for pre-Darcy, Darcy and non-Darcy flow regimes. • 𝑅𝑒 𝑘 versus 𝑓√𝑘 is plotted in Figure 20 for core#5 with k=0.3 md. It can be seen from this Figure that deviation from Darcy straight line occurs at low pore Reynolds number and known as pre-Darcy flow. For this particular core, pre-Darcy flow regime becomes dominant when 𝑅𝑒 𝑘 <1.6x10-06. Also, at sufficient high fluid velocity, the second deviation from Darcy straight line can be observed called non-Darcy flow. In this case with k=0.3 md, when 𝑅𝑒 𝑘 > 1.1x10-04, the non-Darcy flow regime prevails.

  • 28. 10/7/2020 28 AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO PVT AND PHASE BEHAVIOR OF RESERVOIR FLUIDS (RES 435) (online) 1-3 Jun 2021 25-27 Oct. 2021 Register@petro-teach.com This course is designed to provide the audience with classical and novel approaches in phase behaviour studies of reservoir fluids. The course starts with an overview of reservoir fluids and their classification. The audience will become familiar with the role of PVT phase behavior in upstream field development plan and downstream process design. Then, the challenges and errors associated with fluid sampling are reviewed. A detailed Quality check (QC) of collected fluid samples from subsurface and surface is presented and discussed, and a unified approach is presented for sampling and recombination of gas condensate samples to obtain a representative reservoir fluid. Next, PVT correlations and Physical property estimation methods are reviewed for black oil and compositional fluid samples.
