Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghitung porositas efektif (фeff) dan permeabilitas (k) menggunakan model segitiga dengan variasi tinggi yaitu 3, 4, 5, 6 dan 7 cm. Perhitungan porositas dan permeabilitas yang efektif dilakukan dengan menggunakan model Lattice Gas Automata (LGA), yang diimplementasikan dengan bahasa pemrograman Delphi 7.0. Untuk model segitiga penghalang dengan tinggi 3, 4, 5, 6 dan 7 cm, nilai porositas efektif dan permeabilitas, masing-masing: фeff (T1) = 0,1690, k (T1) = 0 , 001339 pixel2; фeff (T2) = 0,1841, k (T2) = 0,001904 pixel2; фeff (T3) = 0,1885, k (T3) = 0,001904 pixel2; фeff (T4) = 0,1938, k (T4) = 0001925 pixel2; dan фeff (T5) = 0,2053, k (T5) = 0,002400 pixel2. Dari hasil simulasi, diperoleh tinggi segitiga akan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap nilai porositas efektif dan permeabilitas. Pada segitiga lebih tinggi, menyebabkan tabrakan model aliran fluida LGA mengalami lebih banyak hambatan untuk penghalang, sehingga porositas efektif dan permeabilitas menurun. Sebaliknya, jika segitiga lebih rendah, menyebabkan tabrakan model aliran fluida LGA mengalami lebih sedikit hambatan untuk penghalang, sehingga porositas efektif dan permeabilitas meningkat.This  research purposed to calculate the effective porosity (feff) and permeability (k) using the barrier model of the triangle with a high varying are 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 cm. Effective porosity and permeability calculations performed using the model Lattice Gas Automata (LGA), which is implemented with Delphi 7.0 programming language. For model the barrier triangle with a high of 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 cm, the value of effective porosity and permeability, respectively: feff(T1)=0,1690, k(T1)=0,001339 pixel2; feff(T2)=0,1841, k(T2)=0,001904 pixel2; feff(T3)=0,1885, k(T3)=0,001904 pixel2; feff(T4)=0,1938, k(T4)= 0001925 pixel2; and feff(T5)=0,2053, k(T5)=0,002400 pixel2. From the simulation results, obtained by the high of the triangle will be a significant effect on the value of effective porosity and permeability. If the triangle highest, causing the collision of fluid flow models LGA experience more obstacles to the barrier, so that the effective porosity and permeability decrease. Conversely, if the triangle lower, causing the collision of fluid flow models LGA experience less obstacles to the barrier, so that the effective porosity and permeability increases.Keywords: Effective porosity, permeability, model triangle, model LGA

Several results of lattice-gas and lattice-Boltzmann simulations of single-fluid flow in 2D and 3D porous media are discussed. Simulation results for the tortuosity, effective porosity and permeability of a 2D random porous medium are reported. A modified Kozeny–Carman law is suggested, which includes the concept of effective porosity. This law is found to fit well the simulated 2D permeabilities. The results for fluid flow through large 3D random fibre webs are also presented. The simulated permeabilities of these webs are found to be in good agreement with experimental data. The simulations also confirm that, for this kind of materials, permeability depends exponentially on porosity over a large porosity range.

ABSTRACT Deepwater siliciclastic deposits of the Delaware Mountain Group (DMG) in the Delaware Basin (DB) are the primary interval for disposal of hydraulic fracturing flowback and produced water from unconventional oil production. Understanding the storage capacity of the DMG is critical in mitigating potential risks such as induced seismicity, water encroachment on production, and drilling hazards, particularly with likely development scenarios and expected volumes of produced water. Here we present a basin-wide geologic characterization of the DMG of the Delaware Basin. The stratigraphic architecture, lithology, and fluid-flow properties including porosity, permeability, amalgamation ratios, and pore volumes, are interpreted and mapped. Lithologies are predicted using gamma-ray and resistivity log responses calibrated to basinal DMG cores and outcrop models. Sandstones exhibit the highest porosity and permeability, and sand depocenters migrate clockwise and prograde basinward throughout Guadalupian time. Permeability is highest at the top of the Cherry and Bell Canyon formations of the DMG, reaching tens to hundreds of millidarcies in porous sandstones. Porous and permeable sandstones are fully amalgamated at the bed scale, but at the channel scale, most sandstones are separated by low-permeability siltstones or carbonates where net sandstone is less than 30%. This geologic characterization can be used to assess the regional storage capacity of the DMG and as input for dynamic fluid-flow models to address pore-pressure evolution, zonal containment, and induced seismicity.

Conventional lattice-gas automata consist of particles moving discretely on a fixed lattice. While such models have been quite successful for a variety of fluid flow problems, there are other systems, e.g., flow in a flexible membrane or chemical self-assembly, in which the geometry is dynamical and coupled to the particle flow. Systems of this type seem to call for lattice gas models with dynamical geometry. We construct such a model on one-dimensional (periodic) lattices and describe some simulations illustrating its nonequilibrium dynamics.

Most models used in reservoir simulation studies are on the scale of meters to hundreds of meters. However, increasing resolution in geological measurements results in finer geological models. Simulations study of particle movements provide an alternative to conventional reservoir simulation by allowing the study of microscopic and/or macroscopic fluid flow, which is close to the scale of geological models. In this paper, the FHP-II (Frisch, Hasslacher and Pomeau - FHP) model of lattice gas automata were developed to study fluid flow in order to estimate the properties of heterogeneous porous media. Heterogeneity simulated by placing solid obstacles randomly in a two-dimensional test volume. Properties of the heterogeneous porous media were estimated by the shape, size, number of the obstacles and by the distribution of the obstacles within the volume. Results of the effects of grain sizes and shapes, and its distribution in the porous media on the tortuosity, effective porosity, permeability and displacement efficiency were obtained. An investigation of fluid flow and comparison with laboratory experiment were also presented. Reasonably good agreement between the lattice gas automata simulation and laboratory experiment results were achieved.

Flow features, specially, flow rate, discharge coefficient and efflux angle under different operating conditions are numerically simulated, and the effects of shapes and the number of notches on them are analyzed. To simulate flow features, 3D models are developed as commercially available fluid flow models. Most construction machineries in different conditions require different actions. Thus, in order to be capable of different actions and exhibit good dynamic behavior, flow features should be achieved in designing an optimized proportional directional spool valve.

Abstract The Middle Marrat reservoir of Jurassic age is a tight carbonate reservoir with vertical and horizontal heterogeneous properties. The variation in lithology, vertical and horizontal facies distribution lead to complicated reservoir characterization which lead to unexpected production behavior between wells in the same reservoir. Marrat reservoir characterization by conventional logging tools is a challenging task because of its low clay content and high-resistivity responses. The low clay content in Marrat reservoirs gives low gamma ray counts, which makes reservoir layer identification difficult. Additionally, high resistivity responses in the pay zones, coupled with the tight layering make production sweet spot identification challenging. To overcome these challenges, integration of data from advanced logging tools like Sidewall Magnetic Resonance (SMR), Geochemical Spectroscopy Tool (GST) and Electrical Borehole Image (EBI) supplied a definitive reservoir characterization and fluid typing of this Tight Jurassic Carbonate (Marrat formation). The Sidewall Magnetic resonance (SMR) tool multi wait time enabled T2 polarization to differentiate between moveable water and hydrocarbons. After acquisition, the standard deliverables were porosity, the effective porosity ratio, and the permeability index to evaluate the rock qualities. Porosity was divided into clay-bound water (CBW), bulk-volume irreducible (BVI) and bulk-volume moveable (BVM). Rock quality was interpreted and classified based on effective porosity and permeability index ratios. The ratio where a steeper gradient was interpreted as high flow zones, a gentle gradient as low flow zones, and a flat gradient was considered as tight baffle zones. SMR logging proved to be essential for the proper reservoir characterization and to support critical decisions on well completion design. Fundamental rock quality and permeability profile were supplied by SMR. Oil saturation was identified by applying 2D-NMR methods, T1/T2 vs. T2 and Diffusion vs. T2 maps in a challenging oil-based mud environment. The Electrical Borehole imaging (EBI) was used to identify fracture types and establish fracture density. Additionally, the impact of fractures to enhance porosity and permeability was possible. The Geochemical Spectroscopy Tool (GST) for the precise determination of formation chemistry, mineralogy, and lithology, as well as the identification of total organic carbon (TOC). The integration of the EBI, GST and SMR datasets provided sweet spots identification and perforation interval selection candidates, which the producer used to bring wells onto production.
