OpenGL is widely used in many industrial application fields as a powerful 3D graphics library. Especially, it plays important roles in displaying the visualization emulation model of digital cores. In this paper, according to the practical demands of projects, we conduct a thorough research on displaying 3D visual models of the pore structure and the skeleton structure of digital cores using OpenGL application library. Actual applications indicate that the idea of this paper is feasible and it holds the keys to scientific research of digital cores.

Based on Buckley-Leverett theory, one inverse problem model of the oil-water relative permeability was modeled and proved when the oil-water relative permeability equations obey the exponential form expression, and under the condition of the formation permeability that natural logarithm distribution always obey normal distribution, the other inverse problem model on the formation permeability was proved. These inverse problem models have been assumed in up-scaling cases to achieve the equations by minimization of objective function different between calculation water cut and real water cut, which can provide a reference for researching oil-water two-phase flow theory and reservoir numerical simulation technology.

Wireline Formation Testing is an important technique in the oil field of exploration and development. Not only it can make real fluid samples of the formation directly obtained to know exactly oil existed in formation or not; but it can also show flowing pressure change to see the production capacity of the formation. So it is important measurement for formation evaluation during the drilling process and supports for activities of the exploration and development in the oil field. A numerical simulation model in this article is researched and established based on the Finite Volume Method with considering the influence of sensitive parameters such as reservoir heterogeneity, probe suction area, and mud-filtrate invasion depth during the drilling. The model is capable to design and evaluate for formation fluid sampling operations with calculating hydrocarbon content and flowing pressure. Furthermore, through case application, the performance and effect in the process of Wireline Formation Testing was demonstrated. The results indicate that this technology can be served as an effective auxiliary tool for fluid sampling operations with the function of optimizing fluid sampling measures. It can improve the accuracy of predicting indicators such as hydrocarbon content and breakthrough time during the sampling process. This study provides important backups and technical guidance for professionals in geological exploration and oilfield development.
