Experimental Verification of the Predictive Value of Microtomography-Based Network Models for Multiphase Flow Properties of Petroleum Reservoir Rocks

Australia's oil and gas reserves are primarily dependent on exploration and development in remote offshore deep waters where the operational costs are highest. This is precisely the area where the emerging microtomography-based network model technology will have the most economic impact. The outcome will be of immense scientific interest to the national/international community which has long been studying network models to understand multiphase flow in petroleum reservoirs. This will place Australia in the forefront of this technology. Furthermore, modelling studies of groundwater remediation and geosequestration of greenhouse gases which require a multiphase model will benefit from the project.
