Abstract

See full text

A method using computerized axial tomography (CAT) to model flood performance in a petroleum reservoir using model rock or core from the reservoir of interest. The method uses X-rays of two different energy levels and dopes one of the fluids in the core with a strong photoelectric absorbing material. Multiple scans are conducted at the two energy levels during the displacement process. The resulting data permits calculation of the oil, water and gas phase saturations.
