Pore-scale Modeling Developments of Microcosmic Percolation in Porous Media

To greatly enhance oil recovery, one of the most important methods is investigating the microcosmic percolation theory, and using pore-scale network models is a totally new way to implement this research work. This paper reviewed the different applications of pore-scale modelling technique, such as wettability modelling, mss transfer and diffusion, polymer flooding, carbonate rock reservoirs, and three-phase flow simulation. And the following development tendencies of pore-scale modelling are obtained: various research fields, complicated network models, accurate simulation results and scale-up.
