Abstract

The present status of the recently introduced gas method equipment for migration studies of fractured and porous media is briefly reviewed together with advances in the experimental techniques. The conditions under which matrix diffusion can be observed in both gas flow and water flow experiments are discussed in some detail. Results for a gas flow experiment are shown, and explained with a numerical model which incorporates the effects of hydrodynamic dispersion and matrix diffusion. The necessary parameters for a corresponding water flow experiment are also briefly discussed.
