Abstract:
A method and system for determining contact angles of porous media, including: in a displacement simulation experiment, injecting a displacement fluid into a actual core sample, and performing computed tomography scanning on the core to determine three-dimensional images at different oil displacing time points; segmenting different phases of the three-dimensional images to obtain segmented three-dimensional images; marking a contact line between different phases according to the segmented three-dimensional images, where the phases are underground fluids or displacement fluids and a rock matrix in the displacement simulation experiment; and determining a contact angle of the porous media at different 3D positions at different time points according to the contact line. The method and system provided can obtain the dynamic changing process of the contact angle at different 3D positions in the core at different displacement time points, reflect the wettability of the real reservoir environment more accurately.
