Pore-scale observations of three-fluid-phase transport in porous media

Creator:: Brown, Kendra I.
Abstract:: Understanding the transport of three fluid phases through porous media has important applications in subsurface contaminant remediation, oil and gas recovery, and geological CO₂ sequestration. Existing transport models may be improved by including physical phenomena that govern fluid flow at the pore scale. In particular, thermodynamic arguments suggest that hysteresis...

Linking Pore-scale Fluid-Fluid Interfacial Curvature in Porous Media to Capillary Pressure and Local Morphology with A Novel Method for Curvature Measurement

Creator:: Li, Tianyi
Abstract:: Systems that contain multi-phase flow in porous media are of interest in diverse fields including environmental engineering, hydrogeology, and petroleum engineering etc. One of the main descriptors of multi-phase flow in porous media is the relationship between capillary pressure and fluid saturation. Capillary pressure is inherently a pore-scale variable and...

Saturation, morphology, and topology of nonwetting phase fluid in bentheimer sandstone; application to geologic sequestration of supercritical CO2

Creator:: Herring, Anna L.
Abstract:: This work examines the impact of a viscosity force parameter, fluid velocity, and a capillary force parameter, interfacial tension, on the saturation, morphology, and topology of NW fluid in Bentheimer sandstone after primary imbibition, drainage, and secondary imbibition. Brine and air (used as a proxy for supercritical CO₂) flow experiments...

An investigation into the pore-scale mechanisms of capillary trapping : application to geologic CO₂ sequestration

Creator:: Herring, Anna L.
Abstract:: Geologic CO₂ sequestration is a climate change mitigation strategy that prevents CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere by capturing CO₂ gasses from large point source emissions streams and then pressurizing and pumping the supercritical-state CO₂ into underground geologic storage reservoirs. Once underground, CO₂ is prevented from buoyant migration to the surface...

Flow processes in the dry regime : the effect on capillary barrier performance

Creator:: Jansik, Danielle P.
Abstract:: Engineered capillary barriers typically consist of two layers of granular materials designed so that the contrast in sediment hydrologic properties and sloping interface retains infiltrating water in the upper layer. We report here on the results of two bench-top capillary barrier experiments, and associated modeling. These experiments were conducted to...

Exploring Colloid Transport in Unsaturated Porous Media Using X-Ray Microtomography

Creator:: Brueck, Chris L.
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms controlling colloid transport and deposition in the vadose zone is an important step in protecting our water resources. Colloid transport in unsaturated porous media was studied using X-Ray Microtomography (XMT), which is a non-destructive imaging technique that provides three-dimensional images at a resolution on the order of...

Microbial enhanced oil recovery : a pore-scale investigation of interfacial interactions

Creator:: Armstrong, Ryan T.
Abstract:: Current oil production technologies recover only about one‐third to one‐half of the oil originally present in an oil reservoir. Given current oil prices, even a modest increase in oil recovery efficiency is fiscally attractive. One novel approach to increase oil recovery efficiency is a process called microbial enhanced oil recovery...

Investigating capillary pressure and interfacial area for multiphase flow in porous media using pore-scale imaging and lattice-Boltzmann modeling

Creator:: Porter, Mark L.
Abstract:: Recent advances in imaging technology and numerical modeling have greatly enhanced pore-scale investigations of multiphase flow and transport in porous media. It is now feasible to obtain high resolution 3-dimensional pore-scale data, and numerical methods such as the lattice- Boltzmann (LB) technique have been developed specifically for simulating such phenomena....

Optimization of capillary trapping of CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers, Optimization of capillary trapping of CO₂ sequestration in saline aquifers

Creator:: Harper, Elizabeth J.
Abstract:: Geological carbon sequestration, as a method of atmospheric greenhouse gas reduction, is at the technological forefront of the climate change movement. During sequestration, carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas effluent is captured from coal fired power plants and is injected into a storage saline aquifer or depleted oil reservoir. In an effort...

Fate of THMs in Columbia River basalts during aquifer storage and recovery

Creator:: Bertrand, Danelle
Abstract:: Use of basalt aquifers for aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) systems is increasing in the Pacific Northwest due to the large aerial extent of the Columbia River Basalt Group and the suitability of basalts as ASR reservoirs. However, the degradation of trihalomethanes (THMs), potentially carcinogenic disinfection by-products present in the...
