Özet

This paper continues the work presented in Ramirez et al. (2009). In Part I, we discussed the viability of the use of simple transfer functions to accurately account for fluid exchange as the result of capillary, gravity, and diffusion mass transfer for immiscible flow between fracture and matrix in dual-porosity numerical models. Here, we show additional information on several relevant topics, which include (1) flow of a low-concentration water-soluble surfactant in the fracture and the extent to which the surfactant is transported into the matrix; (2) an adjustment to the transfer function to account for the early slow mass transfer into the matrix before the invading fluid establishes full connectivity with the matrix; and (3) an analytical approximation to the differential equation of mass transfer from the fracture to the matrix and it method of solution to predict oil-drainage performance.
