New non-equilibrium matrix imbibition equation for Kondaurov's double porosity model

Abstract

The paper deals with the global Kondaurov double porosity model describing a non-equilibrium two-phase immiscible flow in fractured-porous reservoirs when non-equilibrium phenomena occur in the matrix blocks, only. It is shown that the homogenized model can be represented as usual equations of two-phase incompressible immiscible flow, except for the addition of two source terms calculated by a solution to a local problem which is a boundary value problem for a non-equilibrium imbibition equation given in terms of the real saturation and a non-equilibrium parameter.
