Investigate the multi-phase flow in porous media using neutron imaging
Understanding how the structure of reservoir rocks affects fluid flows is a significant factor in dealing with resource engineering challenges; such as CO2 sequestration and hydrocarbon production. Traditionally, X-ray imaging has been applied to visualize porosity and equilibrium fluid distributions in porous materials. This proposal looks at the unique advantages of neutron imaging compare to X-ray imaging for investigating fluids flow in abiotic non-hydrogenous porous media. The advantages of these visualization techniques are that they are non-destructive and give an insight into the rock which would be otherwise impossible. This work focuses on achieving quantitative understanding of how nanofluids behave and change (local and global) permeability in (sandstone and carbonate) reservoir rocks under different environmental condition.
