Sandstone pore of 20 mm in diameter and 100 mm long
with porosity of 15% is prepared for
core flood experiment. The sandstone pore is fully (100%) saturated
with water by injecting
water with viscosity of 1cp at volumetric flow rate of 20 cubic
mm/sec. A pressure drop of 1
atm was recorded across the pore during the injection
process.
i. What is the absolute permeability of the sandstone pore sample
in mD?
ii. What is the pore volume of sandstone sample?
iii. The sandstone pore sample is flooded by oil with viscosity of
2 cp until
water saturation reaching to 25%. Calculate the oil volume inside
the pore
at the end of flood
