Simulation of counter-current imbibition phenomenon in a double phase flow through fracture porous medium with capillary pressure

Abstract

In this paper, the counter-current imbibition phenomenon in a fracture porous media is studied and Adomian decomposition method is applied to find the saturation of wetting phase and the recovery rate of the reservoir. A simulation result is developed for the saturation of wetting phase in fracture matrix and in porous matrix for some interesting choices of parametric value to study the recovery rate of the oil reservoir with dimensionless time. This problem has a great importance in the oil recovery process. Keywords: Counter-current imbibition, Fracture porous media, Adomian decomposition method
