Research Progress of Nanofluid Phase Permeability Curves

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1006-6535.2023.06.001

Abstract

Abstract: Nanoparticles are widely used in oil and gas reservoir development because of their extremely small size, large specific surface area and low dosage, but little research has been reported on the phase permeability curves of nanofluids. Therefore, through literature research, the effects of factors such as the number of capillary, wettability, temperature and net effective pressure on the shape of phase permeability curves before and after the oil displacement by nanofluids are reviewed, the mathematical modeling methods for constructing the phase permeability curves are summarized and discussed, and the method of obtaining phase permeability curves that is applicable to nanofluids is preferred in combination with the characteristics of nanofluids. This study can provide certain theoretical references and guidance for the accurate acquisition of phase permeability curves of nanofluids, the establishment of numerical models of phase permeability and the in-depth study of the mechanism of oil displacement by nanofluids.

Key words: low-permeability reservoir, nanofluid, relative permeability curve, mathematical modeling
