Overview

Excerpt from Studies of Waterflood Performance, Vol. 2: Trapping Oil in a Pore Doublet The Illinois State Geological Survey has undertaken, as part of its research program in petroleum engineering, a series of studies on the flow of fluids through porous media. It is hoped that the results of such studies will provide a better understanding of the waterflooding method of improving oil recovery, which has become of major importance in Illinois. Because a study of the flow of fluids through porous rock involves complex problems, it may be helpful to choose a simpler system for an analytical treat ment. This paper, for example, discusses what will happen in an idealized sys tem of capillary tubes called a pore doublet. This approach may seem to have nothing to do with oil recovery in the field, but we believe that these in direct methods of analysis will ultimately enable us to understand the basic problems so as to develop better methods for predicting oil recovery, and de termine the most efficient rate of water injection to get maximum recovery of oil.
