英文摘要 | Fractional wettability has been widely recognized in most of the oil reservoirs and it is a crucial factor that controls the fluid flow behavior in porous medium. The overall effect of the proportion of oil wet grains on the fluid flow properties has been well discussed. However, recent studies found that the random distribution and coordination of oil-wet and water-wet grains could make multi-phase flow behaviors extremely complicated in such media. The multiphase flow mechanisms in fractional wettability media remains unclear. In this study, oil imbibition experiments were systematically conducted using glass cylinders packed with fractional-wet glass beads. To study the effect of fractional wettability on multiple-phase flow properties, samples with different oil-wet grain proportions were prepared, and fifteen repeated experiments were conducted for each oil-wet proportion. The experimental results showed that oil imbibition was largely dependent on but not strictly a function of the proportion of oil-wet grains in the medium. The imbibition behaviors of samples with the same fractional proportion could vary significantly, as some samples exhibited complete oil migration, while others did not. This probabilistic phenomenon is likely due to the random distribution of oil-wet and water-wet grains. A pore throat may behave as oil-wet or water-wet depending on the relative proportion of oil-wet grains the pore throat contains. When the grains that comprise the pore throat are dominated by oil-wet grains, the throat behaves as oil-wet, and vice versa. Only when these oil-wet pore throats are connected to form a complete oil-wet pathway throughout the medium can the oil continuously imbibe into the medium. Therefore, the extent of oil imbibition depends on the completeness of the oil-wet pathway, which is controlled by the proportion of oil-wet grains in the medium. The higher the proportion of oil-wet grains in the medium, the larger the number of oil-wet pore throats that can form; thus, the higher the possibility that those oil-wet pore throats can connect to form continuous oil-wet pathways.
