J. Labrid et B. Bazin, FLOW MODELING OF ALKALINE DISSOLUTION BY A THERMODYNAMIC OR BY A KINETIC APPROACH, SPE reservoir engineering, 8(2), 1993, pp. 151-159
This paper presents a calculation of the propagation of basic pH in a
reservoir rock based on either a kinetically controlled reaction or a
thermodynamic equilibrium assumption. Results demonstrate that the kin
etic approach is the only way to analyze the interactions of alkaline
chemicals with clayey sandstones properly.
