Description

In heavy oil reservoirs, the fluid is a viscous material, possibly nonlinear. In order to describe the flow of such oils in the rock, an extension of Darcy law to non Newtonian fluids is presented. Besides, oil production in this type of reservoir is responsible for rock erosion and the formation of a paste (slurry) made up of a mixture of oil and sand grains is observed. Based on a non linear homogenization technique, a modelling of the constitutive behavior of this slurry is proposed. (authors)
