Quantifying acid diversion efficiency through NMR tortuosity measurements

Mahmoud Elsayed et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of two different acid diverters on the direction of wormholes inside rock cores, using NMR and X-ray CT for measurement. Results showed that polymer-based acids created more wormhole paths, thus demonstrating higher diversion efficiency.

How to avoid multiple scattering in strongly scattering SANS and USANS samples

Yeping Ji et al.

Summary: Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) and Ultra Small Angle Neutron Scattering (USANS) are the only experimental techniques available for non-destructive measurement of rock pore structure. Multiple Scattering (MS) is a challenge in the analysis, but can be avoided by reducing sample thickness. This study presents a systematic method for wavelength selection and sample preparation to optimize data extraction and minimize errors.

Simulation of mineral dissolution at the pore scale with evolving fluid-solid interfaces: review of approaches and benchmark problem set

Sergi Molins et al.

Summary: This study introduces a benchmark problem for evaluating the simulation of single-phase flow, reactive transport, and solid geometry evolution at the pore scale. By comparing results from five different codes, it demonstrates significant agreement both quantitatively and qualitatively, providing a strong benchmark for validating and testing pore-scale codes.

A continuous time random walk method to predict dissolution in porous media based on validation of experimental NMR data

Rodolfo Oliveira et al.

Summary: The study develops a reactive transport model validated with NMR experiments, successfully predicting porosity changes and flow heterogeneity evolution in dissolution experiments. Results demonstrate that heterogeneity in the flow field leads to a significantly lower effective reaction rate. Furthermore, the model accurately predicts dissolution patterns observed in experiments.

Reactive Flows in Porous Media: Challenges in Theoretical and Numerical Methods

Anthony J. C. Ladd et al.

Summary: This article reviews theoretical and computational research on the flow of reactive fluids in porous media, focusing on nonlinear feedback mechanisms that can enhance permeability. It discusses the evolution of geological forms inferred from these mechanisms and geotechnical applications, as well as the limitations and successes of Darcy-scale modeling and pore-scale modeling. Recent research on validation of pore-scale simulations, particularly through visual observations from microfluidic experiments, is also included.

Geometry and mineral heterogeneity controls on precipitation in fractures: An X-ray micro-tomography and reactive transport modeling study

Catherine Noiriel et al.

Summary: The study investigated the interplay between calcite precipitation, flow, and growth substrate during precipitation, observing that factors such as fracture geometry and flow field reorganization play a significant role in the sealing and precipitation patterns. The research also highlighted the importance of the saturation index of the reactive fluid in influencing the calcite precipitation rate along the flow paths. Additionally, the study found that negative feedback between porosity and permeability decrease affects the reorganization of flow in fractures during precipitation.

An overview of structurally-controlled dolostone-limestone transitions in the stratigraphic record

Ardiansyah Koeshidayatullah et al.

Summary: This study aims to summarize the origin and styles of structurally-controlled dolomitization fronts, and provide a standardized framework and quantitative insights to describe and interpret these fronts. The results show different morphologies associated with dolostone bodies, including lateral contact/bed-perpendicular fronts, vertical contact/bed-parallel fronts, and complex-shaped fronts.

Solution pipes and focused vertical water flow: Geomorphology and modelling

Matej Lipar et al.

Summary: Solution pipes, vertical cylindrical voids in porous calcareous rocks, are a distinctive feature in the epikarst zone, generally less than 1m in diameter and reaching depths of up to 100m. Most commonly found in eogenetic rocks, especially Quaternary calcareous sandstones, they are believed to have formed through dissolution, with trigger factors including vegetation patterns and rock heterogeneities. Research has explored their geomorphology, as well as the potential to use them as paleoclimatic indicators through theoretical and numerical studies.
