Sensitivity Analysis of Modeling Reservoir Formation Damage by an Adjoin-state Two-phase Particulate Transport Simulator

Quantifying productivity/injectivity performance in highly heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs remains a challenge because of the interaction of many interdependent processes belonging to different scales. In particular, dynamics of particulate suspensions at the Darcy scale are intimately related to the competing mechanisms of hydrodynamic/colloidal release from pore surfaces, and blocking in pore bodies/throats. Additionally, within immiscible two-phase flows additional processes occur such as interphase mass transfer.
