Abstract

Three-phase fluid flow in reservoirs is present in the entire process of oil field development, and three-phase relative permeability data are crucial for reservoir engineering and numerical simulation. At the same time, carbon dioxide flooding and storage have garnered significant attention recently. The calculation of dynamic storage volumes and an in-depth understanding of three-phase flow within formations are inextricably linked to three-phase relative permeability. This review is centered around the available experimental measurements, theoretical models that predict three-phase relative permeability using two-phase data, and four Lattice Boltzmann method models. By analyzing the strengths, weaknesses and limitations of each method and assessing the impact of factors like saturation history, interfacial tension, rock properties, and fluid characteristics on three-phase relative permeability, this paper seeks to offer a comprehensive understanding of the topic. In summary, we provide a concise overview of the prospects and challenges in advancing three-phase relative permeability, serving as a valuable reference for the field of carbon dioxide flooding and storage. Document Type: Invited review Cited as: Mei, Y., Lv, W., Zhou, X., Huang, J., Jia, N., Wang, G. Current methods for measuring three-phase relative permeability and its influencing factors.

目前三相相对渗透率的测量方法及其影响因素

油藏中三相流体流动贯穿于油田开发的全过程，三相相对渗透率数据对油藏工程和数值模拟具有重要意义。与此同时，二氧化碳的泛滥和储存最近引起了人们的极大关注。动态储气量的计算和对地层内三相流动的深入了解与三相相对渗透率密不可分。本综述围绕可用的实验测量、使用两相数据预测三相相对渗透率的理论模型和四种晶格玻尔兹曼方法模型进行了综述。通过分析每种方法的优缺点和局限性，并评估饱和度历史、界面张力、岩石性质和流体特征等因素对三相相对渗透率的影响，本文试图对该主题提供一个全面的理解。综上所述，本文简要概述了提高三相相对渗透率的前景和挑战，为二氧化碳驱油和封存领域提供了有价值的参考。引用为:梅，杨，吕伟，周，肖，黄，杰，贾，宁，王，国。目前三相相对磁导率测量方法及其影响因素。地球能源研究进展，2023,10(1):21-38。https://doi.org/10.46690/ager.2023.10.04
