Experimental Study on Water Sensitivity Difference Based on Oiliness of Porous Medium Rock

Abstract EN

This study presents the differences of water sensitivity experiment of porous medium rock between conventional dry core samples and oil-bearing core.

The comparison was made to analyze the impact of single-phase fluid and multiphase fluid on the actual sensitivity of rock.

The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) test was carried out to reveal the distribution of oil in porous medium and the microscopic influence mechanism of oil phase.

The study shows that the initial oil in place could isolate the clay from water, and then the expansion and the migration of the clay were prevented to reduce the decrease of degree of damage.
