Abstract

Hydrocarbon recovery is affected by several factors such as crossflow. The effect of small-scale geological structure on single phase flow to determine which factors have the greatest effect on crossflow is investigated using a model of a crossbedded unit. Several bedding types and models with stochastic variation are considered. The geometry of the sedimentary structure affects the flow process. The crossflow is greater in these aspects; when the angle of the laminae is large relative to the pressure gradient, when the permeability contrast between laminae is large, or when the structure is asymmetric.
