Determining the Effect of Neglecting Capillary Pressure on Fractional Flow by Numerical Analysis

Edwin Tan Jun Yi and Hamed Hematpur

The fractional flow equation is simplified by neglecting the effect of capillary pressure gradient. However, zero capillary pressure assumption may induce error in the fractional flow equation. The effect of different parameters on capillary pressure gradient in fractional flow is determined with numerical analysis based on the saturation distribution profile. The fractional flow equation is dependent on the relative permeability and relative permeability is a function of saturation. This project presents one- dimensional black oil simulation in core flooding using gas-water system to compare the saturation profile with capillary pressure and without capillary pressure. A factorial design was established for four (4) different parameters, i.e., porosity, permeability, length and injection rate, in three (3) levels (34=81). Therefore, eighty-one (81) simulations were conducted and the results were analyzed via Design of Experiments. This study found that porosity, permeability and injection rate has visible effect in the saturation profile due to the negligence of capillary pressure. Due to the limitation of the simulator, the end capillary effect was not captured in this study. Hence, the capillary pressure has no visible effect towards the core length.
