Abstract
Abstract
The pressure and volume evolution during gas phase formation in porous media is modelled by an instantaneous nucleation process. This model reveals that supersaturation (i.e., non-equilibrium state) for gas bubble formation is affected by the pressure decline rate. As a result, laboratory recovery measurements are influenced by rate effects, and material balance expressions may not be used to calculate the amount of oil and gas phases.
