| Abstract: | A mathematical model based on Darcy's law and electroosmosis equation in porous media is developed and two parameters named electroosmosis coefficient K, and relative electroosmosis coefficient Kre are used to calculate the curves of Ke and Krevs. water saturation whick are employed to estimate the effect of electroosmosis on water displacing oil process in sandstone cores. Under the conditions of constant injection rate displacement and constant electrical potential gradient, the method to calculate parameters K. and K. at different water saturation is developed and unsteadystate displacement experin.ental data under the effect of electroosmosis are used to determine the Parameter values. The results show that K, and K, are increased firstly with increasing water saturation and then decreased. This trend shows the inter-relationship between electroosmosis and the water displacing oil process. Finally, application of the model to ECMP mechauics studies and ac-tual reservoirs is analyzed in this peper. |
