ABSTRACTWe have carried out x-ray radiography and computed tomography (CT) to study two-phase flow in 3-D porous media. Air-brine displacement was imaged for drainage and imbibition experiments in a vertical column of glass beads. By correlating water saturation Sw with resistance R, we find that there is a threshold saturation S* ≈ 0.2, above which R(SW) ∼ Sw−2, in agreement with the empirical Archie relation. This holds true for both drainage and imbibition with littlehysteresis, provided that Sw remains above S*. Should Sw drop below S* during drainage, R(Sw) rises above the Archie prediction, exhibiting strong hysteresis upon reimbibition. This behavior suggests a transition in the connectivity of the water phase near S*, possibly due to percolation effects.
