Capillary resistance and trapping of hydrocarbons: a laboratory experiment (original) (raw)

Capillary resistance and trapping of hydrocarbons: a laboratory experiment

Petroleum Geoscience, 2005

Abstract

Low permeability cap rocks retain oil by capillary forces when the pore throats of the seals are sufficiently small to prevent a flux of oil into the cap rock. In order to investigate the influence of aquifer overpressures on oil retention, water pressure was applied to a water-wet, ...
