Experimental Measurements and Multi-Scale Modeling of the Relative Gas Permeability of a Caprock

An experimental characterisation of a low permeability caprock is first reported. Two different methods are compared to measure the porosity: water imbibition and weighting versus gas (Argon) pycnometry. Water measured porosities appear to systematically underestimate gas measured porosities. A capi...
