摘要
This paper presents a new modelling approach to describe and explain the temporal variation of oil thickness in well due to groundwater table fluctuations. This new model, which intends to be simple and easy to implement, was compared to field data obtained by continuous measurements of vertical LNAPL position in wells. Two scenarios have been studied: a pumping well where the oil layer is unconfined, and one where the oil layer is present in a confined porous media. This study shows that the time-depend fluctuation of the oil thickness observed in the wells could not be reproduced only with the differences between the residual oil saturations (Sorw and Sora) as suggested by Kemblowski and Chiang (1990). It should consider the transient mass exchange between the well and the porous media. Also, the proposed model shows that making the assumption of equilibrium conditions as suggested by Lenhard et al. (2017) for calculating the volume exchanges between the wells and its surrounding introduced errors. Considering transient transfers of oil better reflects the field observations. This observation is a key outcome for improving field data interpretation (e.g.: bail-down test data) and the remedial approach at site polluted by mineral oils.
