Influence of Temperature on the Thermal Properties of the Core Material - the Coefficient of Temperature Conductivity, Specific Heat Capacity, and Thermal Conductivity

The absorption of heat by rocks is accompanied by an increase in the kinetic energy of molecules and atoms and is recorded by a change in rock temperature. The thermal properties of rocks characterize the ability to transfer and absorb heat and change their size when the temperature rises. The main thermal properties of rocks are thermal conductivity, heat capacity, linear thermal expansion, and thermal volumetric expansion. In this paper, the influence of temperature effects on the thermal properties of reservoirs - the coefficient of temperature conductivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity is studied using the samples of oil-saturated reservoirs from the good number 19Bp of the Upper Uplift of Sotnikovsky deposit. The dependence of the thermal properties of the core material on temperature was revealed using a number of laboratory experiments. The results of these studies contribute to improving the reliability of data on the relationship of thermal properties with other physical properties of oil-saturated reservoirs and can be used to improve the efficiency of the development of fields of super-viscous oil.
