STANFORD GEOTHERMAL PROGRAM QUARTERLY REPORT JANUARY 1 - MARCH 31, 1997

摘要

The ultimate goal of this study is to understand the origin of the two important but currently unknown functions of relative permeability and capillary pressure functions. In earlier quarters we conducted a series of experiments, but determined that the pressure measurements being made were of insufficient accuracy. During the current quarter, an attempt was made to conduct a vertical boiling experiment using a Berea sandstone core sample with an improved pressure measurement system. However, the experiment had to be terminated due to excessive leaks. These will be discussed in this report.
