Although flow through fractured rocks involves many different length-scales, it is crucial for the prediction of continuum-scale single- and multi-phase flow functions to understand, at the pore-scale, the interaction between the rock matrix and fractures. Here we present a pore-

Carbonate reservoirs have textural heterogeneities at all length-scales (triple porosity pore-vug-fracture) and tend to be mixed- to oil-wet The choice of an enhanced oil recovery process and the prediction of oil recovery require a sound understanding of the fundamental controls

Porosity and permeability of carbonate sediments evolve markedly with burial depth, reflecting the combined effects of mechanical compaction, chemical compaction, dissolution and cementation. While trends in porosity change with depth can be qualified, the evolution of permeab ...
Carbonate reservoirs have structural heterogeneities at all length-scales (triple porosity: pore-vug-fracture) and tend to be mixed- To oil-wet. The interplay of structural and wettability heterogeneities impacts the sweep efficiency and oil recovery. The choice of an enhanced oi

We have developed a new finite element - finite volume based simulation approach to study flow and transport processes at sub-grid scales, i.e. at scales below the typical size of a reservoir simulation grid block, using real 3D geometries in carbonate reservoirs. We complement t

WAG flooding of an oil reservoir can give rise to large regions of three-phase flow, where the flow parameters, i.e. capillary pressure and relative permeability, are history dependent. This means that three-phase capillary pressure and relative permeability data have to be updat
