Can two fluids of differing densities mix in porous media?

Fran Asks PERM: Hello, I've been out of school for 40 years but once thought I knew a lot about MVTs (Mississippi Valley Type Lead/Zinc Deposits). We operated under a hypothesis that two fluids were involved: a metalliferous basinal brine and a sulphurous trap in a dolostone 'reef'. However we were constrained to believe that two [...]

What method of normalization for NMR spectra do you use?

Diana Asks PERM: Hello, Currently, I've been doing experimental tests in low field NMR , and I read in the majority of your papers that in order to negate the effect of differences in amplitude due to sample mass, you apply normalization and I´d like to know which normalization method is the best for this spectra? [...]

NMR as a tool for measuring Pore Throat Sizes?

Sergiy Asks PERM: Hello, Pore Throat Sizes with NMR -- How small can you measure? Thank you, Sergiy Dr. Jonathan Bryan from PERM Answers: Hi Sergiy, NMR as a tool gives a better measure of pore body size compared to pore throats, because it is giving the response of fluids and fluids are in the pore [...]

Calibrating NMR Logs when you have an Irregular Borehole and used a Centralized Tool?

Glenn Asks PERM: Hello, When doing a downhole NMR log, how do you calibrate with an irregular borehole if you used a centralized tool where it is in the center of the borehole? Or is that data no good and you must use a sidewall NMR log? Thank you, Glenn Dr. Jonathan Bryan from PERM Answers: [...]

What is the residual oil saturation for water flooding vs immiscible gas flooding? | Ask PERM

Amir Asks PERM: Hi there, If you flood two identical cores (let's say with poro=25%, perm=200 md) one with water and another one with immiscible gas (like associated gas), for which case do you expect a higher residual oil saturation? Thanks, Amir   Dr. Jonathan Bryan from PERM Answers: Hello, Let’s start by assuming that [...]

Clarifications on the Jamin Effect and Why High Capillary Pressure is Bad for Flow? | Ask PERM

David Asks PERM: Dear Perm, My name is David. I am studying petroleum engineering, and I read the article from your web page about the Jamin effect. At the bottom of the page, it said that we can ask question to you about the subject. I therefore have a question about the article on you web [...]
