Displacement- and deformation processes in fractured reservoir chalk
The objective of the project is to provide a better understanding of the displacement process in fractured chalk. The project aims at combining petrophysical and rock mechanics methods to establish a conceptual model that quantifies the relation between waterflooding, saturation and compaction in fractured reservoir chalk.
In order to fulfil the objective, some of the existing testing techniques and equipment needs to be improved. The project includes the following tasks: 1) Design and test of a 'medium scale' cell for testing of 4 inch reservoir cores. 2) Design and test of high pressure resistivity measurement set-up. 3) Improved specimen preparation and classification technique. 4) NMR/CT scanning technique of core slices. 5) Design and test of centrifuge set-up. It is the intention to integrate the results from the EFP and Joint Chalk Research projects into this project and to extend the conceptual model for intact chalk to fractured reservoir chalk. It is also the intention to improve the understanding of displacement processes in fractured chalk by focusing on precise local and overall pore pressure and deformation measurements
