The Research Progress of Threshold Pressure Gradient

Abstract:

Fluid seepage needs to overcome threshold pressure gradient in low permeability reservoir and heavy oil reservoir. A conclusion about the research progress of threshold pressure gradient was made by summarizing the literatures, which includes: the existence and experimental study of threshold pressure gradient, research of seepage theory considering threshold pressure gradient and applications. These can supply reference for the researching and engineering staffs engaged in related work.
