There have been debates about the applicability of core flood test results to reservoir conditions. It is clear that a small plug can not represent a giant reservoir. However, core flooding is frequently applied as a conventional method to simulate flow through porous media. Yet, many tests are performed at temperature and pressure below reservoir conditions.
I am seeking for a method(s) to extend the costly, time consuming core flood test to reservoir conditions.
One question, what would you evaluate studies in a single well?
If the surface you want to analyze is important should be made two-dimensional models. The data obtained from well test enable calibrate the model.
It would also be nice to have physico-chemical studies of well water for the model parameters.
