In this study, a Pore Network (PN) tool was developed in order to obtain two and three phase relative permeability values. It has been found that the observed results agree with published data. It has also been found that as contact angle increased, irreducible water saturation decreased, and oil relative permeability increased for two phase oil-water imbibition simulations. During the three phase displacement simulation by pore network simulation it was observed that water and gas relative permeabilities are only dependent on their own saturations, but oil relative permeability is dependent on its initial and own saturations in addition to water and gas saturations. It was also observed that as contact angle increased, the three phase region enlarged, and as relative permeability of oil increased, the oil isoperms became linear from concave towards the 100% oil apex.

Determination of three-phase relative permeabilty values by using an artificial neural network model Karaman, T; Demiral, BMR (Informa UK Limited, 2004-08-01) In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) tool, which uses the data obtained from a pore network (PN) model, was developed in order to obtain three-phase relative permeability values. During the development of this ANN tool, four different stages were implemented in which ANN structures were changed in order to find the best architecture that would predict the oil isoperms correctly. By using the data obtained from the PN model, training was implemented and the prediction power of that tool was test...
Determination of wettability and its effect on waterflood performance in limestone medium Karabakal, U (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-03-01) Wettability measurement methods, the effect of wettability on fluid distribution, and fluid flow in porous media were discussed, and the influence of rock wettability on the relative permeability and recovery of oil by waterflooding were investigated. Experimental studies were conducted on a total of 23 core plugs from two different limestone formations. Synthetic brine (NaCl solution) and mineral oil, which has a viscosity ratio of similar to10, were used as the test fluids. Core samples, saturated with sy...
Thermogravimetry of selected bentonites Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2002-10-01) In this research the application of thermal analysis techniques (TG-DTA) to the characterization of bentonite samples is presented. The thermal behavior of 4 bentonite samples was investigated using simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. It was observed that all bentonite samples exhibit 2 weight loss events on heating. The first weight loss event corresponds to the loss of molecular water from the exchange layer, whereas the second weight loss event corre...
Characterization and kinetics of light crude oil combustion in the presence of metallic salts Kök, Mustafa Verşan (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-05-01) In this research, a reaction cell, thermogravimetry (TG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to characterize the light crude oil combustion and kinetics in the presence of copper(I) chloride (CuCl) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2·6H2O). In TG-DTA experiments with magnesium chloride, three reaction regions were identified, known as distillation, low-temperature oxidation (LTO), and high-temperature oxidation (HTO). In the case of copper(I) chloride, two main transitional stages are observed with...
Characterization of medium and heavy crude oils using thermal analysis techniques Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-01) This study focused on the characterization of heavy and medium grade crude oils in limestone matrix using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG-DTG). DSC and TG-DTG curves produced for two different crude oils + limestone mixtures indicate that the crude oil undergoes two major transitions when subjected to an oxidizing and constant rate environment known as low- and high-temperature oxidation. Kinetic analysis in the low- and high-temperature oxidation regions were performed usin...
