Study on Two-phase Flow Mechanisms in Nanopore Considering Microcosmic Deformation and Dynamic Capillary Force by Xiangji Dou, Cong Lin, Sujin Hong, Pengfei Zhu, An Wang, Guodong Qi

“…Coring experiments show that nanopores are extensively distributed in shale oil reservoirs and tend to be deformed when a significant pressure variation exists, and thus the dynamic capillary force phenomenon and flow mechanisms in nanopores can be significantly changed. To characterize the two-phase flow mechanisms in nanopores influenced by the synergistic effect of microcosmic pore deformation and dynamic capillary force, models based on Gassmann’s theory are established to describe the variations of pore radius and roughness in a dynamic pressure field. …”
