Abstract
The invention relates to a system and to a method for measuring at least one flow property of at least one fluid in a porous medium. The measurement system (1) comprises at least one cell (2), means (7) for injecting fluid(s) into the cell and X-ray radiography means (4, 5).
Claims18
A system for measuring at least one flow property of at least one fluid in a porous medium, wherein the system comprises at least one cell containing the porous medium, means for injecting the at least one fluid into the at least one cell, and X-ray radiography means including a source and a detector, the X-ray radiography means being suited to perform a plurality of X-rays upon injection of the at least one fluid, wherein the plurality of X-rays are performed at regular intervals substantially ranging between 0.1 and 5 seconds.
A method for measuring at least one flow property of at least one fluid in a porous medium, the method comprising performing measurements on the porous medium using a system comprising at least one cell containing the porous medium, means for injecting the at least one fluid into the at least one cell, and X-ray radiography means including a source and a detector, the X-ray radiography means being suited to perform a plurality of X-rays upon injection of the at least one fluid, wherein the plurality of X-rays are performed at regular intervals substantially ranging between 0.1 and 5 seconds.
A system for measuring at least one flow property of at least one fluid in a porous medium, the system comprising:
- at least one cell containing the porous medium,
- at least one injector configured to inject the at least one fluid into the at least one cell,
- an X-ray source configured to emit X-rays at regular intervals during injection of the at least one fluid into the at least one cell, and
- an X-ray detector configured to detect the X-rays emitted from the X-ray source after the X-rays pass through the at least one cell.
