Apparatus, method, and system for measuring relative permeability of immiscible fluids
Abstract:
An apparatus for measuring volumes of two or more immiscible fluids, a lighter fluid and a heavier fluid, in a core sample includes a fluid separator and two volume pressure actuators. The lighter fluid accumulates in an upper portion of the fluid separator and the heavier fluid accumulates in a lower portion of the fluid separator, with a meniscus forming between the lighter fluid and the heavier fluid. The first and second volume pressure actuators have fluid volume encoders that determine a net volumetric flow of the fluids to and from the fluid separator. The first and second volume pressure actuators also collectively maintain constant back pressure on the fluid separator and maintain the meniscus between the two immiscible fluids in the fluid separator at a constant position.
