Implementation of SCAL Data for a Capillary Transition Zone

P02 IMPLEMENTATION OF SCAL DATA FOR A CAPILLARY TRANSITION ZONE 1 KRISTINE SPILDO* AND ARNE SKAUGE Centre for Integrated Petroleum Research (CIPR); University of Bergen Allégaten 41 N-5007 Bergen Norway *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Accurate description of fluid flow in reservoirs dominated by a capillary transition zone requires that special core analysis (SCAL) data is implemented in a correct manner to capture the physics of the flow process. This is particularly important for layered reservoirs with significant permeability contrasts since crossflow between the layers as a result of gravity viscous and capillary forces may strongly influence the sweep efficiency
