Exact Analytical Solutions of Countercurrent Imbibition with Both Capillary and Gravity Effects

Mohsen Farrokhrouz et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new analytical solution based on the physics and mathematics of two-phase flow in porous media for predicting spontaneous imbibition in fractured reservoirs. The proposed model overcomes the limitations of previous analytical solutions and is validated against experimental results. This will contribute to improving the prediction of fluid saturations, reservoir recovery, and hydrocarbon production strategies.

Novel Analytical Model of Shale Spontaneous Imbibition Considering the Hydration Effect

Yi Ding et al.

Summary: Research on shale spontaneous imbibition has shown that hydration plays a significant role in the process. A novel analytical model has been established in this paper to study the interaction between imbibition and hydration in shale formations. The results indicate that salinity reduces the driving force of imbibition and restricts hydration damage, highlighting the importance of hydration structural damage in influencing shale spontaneous imbibition.
