Energy Formula for Oil Migration in Thermodynamic System

This paper discusses that heat can act as the driven force of oil migration in the point of view of thermodynamics. The energy formula for oil migration, that heat acts as the driven force of fluid movement, was established in the thermodynamic system based on the experimental results. The variation of enthalpy in the fluid flow indicates that heat and its enthalpy control the migration velocity and distance of oil flow. The enthalpy decreases with the increase of migration distance. The paper also discusses the dynamics of oil movement in semi-quantitative to quantitatively. At the same time, thermodynamic relation of fluid flow within the thermodynamic system is applied to the practical carriers, the results indicate that heat regime taking as the driven force shows more complicated patterns in practical basins. The distance of oil migration depends on the amount of heat and physical characteristics of carriers.
