Abstract
A consideration of the linear flow of gas-dissolved water is described in this paper. The reservoir is 1, 500 ft in length and 10 ft2 in sectional area, having permeability of 17.5 darcys and relative permeabilities of curves shown in Fig.4. Gas-dissolved water flows into the reservoir under pressure of 800 psia and flows out under atmospheric pressure. The results computed on the rate of flow, on the pressure gradient, and on the gradient of water premeability are shown in Figs. 7 and 8. Accoring to the results obtained it becomes clear that the flow of gas-dissolved water can be treated as flow of pure water. The reason for this is that, free gas does not flow through the reservoir, because gas saturation in the reservoir is lower than equilibrium gas saturation.
