Question
The surface tension of mercury is
480mN/m, the contact angle of mercury at
rock surface is 160°. At reservoir
condition, the oil-water interfacial tension
is 30mN/m, the contact angle of oil-water-
rock system is 139°, the density difference
between water and oil is 0.4g/cm'.The
median pressure on the mercury/air
capillary pressure curve is 9.84 atm the
threshold pressure for mercury is 2.1l1atm.
Calculate:
1) The pressure difference
between water phase and oil phase at
reservoir conditions at the level
where water saturation Sw-50%.
2) The minimum pressure
required for water displacing oil
at reservoir condition?
