Aim of this Section

How the pore network controls the storage and flow of fluid through that network
The geology that controls the pore network
The petrophysics we use to measure and describe the properties of the
pore network and the reservoir engineering of fluid movement
Drainage:
Migration of non-wetting
phase fuid & displacement of
the wetting phase
(e.g. filling of HC traps)

Imbibition:
Injection of wetting phase
fuid
& displacement of the
non- wetting phase
(e.g. waterfooding)
