Physicochemical Fluid Dynamics in Porous Media: Applications in Petroleum Geosciences and Petroleum Engineering

Mikhail Panfilov

A timely overview of all flow and transport processes in which chemical or physico-chemical phenomena are essential, bringing together previously scattered theoretical and experimental results necessary for the understanding of hydrodynamics in porous media.The text begins by explaining the thermodynamics of phase equilibria for multicomponent fluids, physico-chemical models of single-phase and immiscible two-phase flow, based on the macroscopic theory of oil displacement by water. Subsequent chapters are devoted to the theory of two-phase flow with partial miscibility, with partially miscible flows with phase transitions described later on by means of the negative saturation approach. The final chapters cover important industrial applications such as in-situ leaching of uranium and flow with bio-chemical reactions in terms of the underground storage of hydrogen.

Mikhail Panfilov is professor and head of the research group “Multiphase Flow and Porous Media” at the University of Lorraine, France, in the CNRS Laboratory of Energy and Applied Mechanics. He obtained his PhD in reservoir engineering and his habilitation in fluid mechanics from the Moscow Oil & Gas Gubkin University, Russia, where he served as professor for five years. After that he changed to the Moscow Lomonosov University before taking up his current position at the University of Lorraine. Mikhail Panfilov received numerous awards, including twice the Excellence Award of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and the Einstein Medal of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.
