Abstract
⺠We image spontaneous imbibition in oil saturated cores at different conditions. ⺠Brine invasion started at localized points and grew hemi-spherically outwards. ⺠A defined front formed after invasion of a third of the length of a standard core. ⺠Core heterogeneity dominated over the effect of gravity where the front is developed. ⺠Front velocity is explained by capillary pressure gradient within heterogeneous cores.
