Secondary migration of hydrocarbons in inclined layers

Abstract: S U M M A R YThe 1-D models of segregated two-phase flow in reservoir engineering are utilized to model lateral secondary migration of hydrocarbons in slightly inclined and permeable layers. It is assumed that the layers are sealed below and above by low-permeability strata. The flow is then characterized by a gravity number and a mobility ratio when capillary forces are neglected. For buoyancy-driven migration, gravity numbers (much) larger than 1, these models imply that the Darcy velocity of the flow is onl… Show more

“…The study of primary and secondary migration of hydrocarbons was re-taken within the past few years, with noticeable results, for a better understanding of these processes. Extensive work is shown by Leythauser et al [4], about the primary migration and by Schowalter [5], Welte and Yukler [6] and Wangen [7] whose focus is on the two-phase flow process, as well as Helset and Lake [8], who studies the three phase flow. Important progress is expected from the use of modern methods of study (e.g.…”
