Adsorption Characteristics of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on Zwitterionic Functionalized Alumina: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Tow, Garrett (2017-05)A classical molecular dynamics simulation was conducted in order to determine the extent of surfactant adsorption on zwitterionic functionalized Al2O3. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was used as a model anionic surfactant, and ... -
THE BEHAVIOR OF EMULSION IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
Al Munif, Eiman (2016-08)The gas lift system and ESP are used to enhance oil production from a well. The basic principle of gas lift technique is reducing the gravity component of the pressure by injecting gas, thus increasing the oil production ... -
Brine Driven Alteration of Phyllosilicates
Geyer, Christopher (2024-04-16)The sedimentary structures and mineralogy of the Martian surface record a complex and inconsistently active hydrosphere throughout the planet’s history (Bibring et al., 2006; Elwood Madden et al., 2009). Phyllosilicates ... -
COALBED METHANE COMPREHENSIVE CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING – BIG GEORGE COAL, POWDER RIVER BASIN, WYOMING
Mohamed, Tarek (2019-05-10)Over the past two decades, coalbed methane (CBM) has become one of the major unconventional gas resources in the US, Canada, Australia, and other countries. Despite substantial advances in CBM exploitation technologies, ... -
DENSITY CHANGES AND COMPOSITIONAL PATH DURING CO2 INJECTION
Nguyen, Son (2016-12-16)CO2 EOR has been used for a couple of decades as it improves oil recovery. With more than 50% of original oil in place (OOIP) remaining inside reservoir after primary and secondary stage, more and more companies start to ... -
Determination of SHmax using drilling induced fractures and focal mechanism
fang, yuan (2023-07)Knowledge of in-situ stress is essential to well development technologies such as wellbore stability, hydraulic fracturing, well spacing design, and the monitoring of induced seismicity. As energy exploration has become ... -
A DISLOCATION-BASED BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHOD TO MODEL PRESSURIZED FRACTURES
Paknia, Farzin (2019)A significant portion of hydrocarbon and geothermal resources in the world, and especially in the United States, is unconventional. Some of the unconventional resources have special geological structures so that their ... -
Downhole Geothermal Power Generation in Oil Wells
Wang, Kai (2019-12-13)Sustainable production of sufficient energy to power the world’s economies with minimum environmental footprint have been one of the most significant challenges for decades. As an essential type of alternative energy, ... -
DYNAMIC DRILLING FLUIDS LOSS AND FILTRATION: IMPACT OF DYNAMIC WELLBORE CONDITIONS AND WELLBORE STRENGTHENING IMPLICATIONS
Ezeakacha, Chinedum Peter (2018-12-14)Lost circulation (drilling fluid loss) and mud filtration have been investigated over the years because they lead to non-drilling time (NDT) and increase the overall well cost. It is usually the first source of damage to ... -
THE EFFECT OF PORE SPACE ON FLUID FLOW AND PHASE BEHAVIOR IN TIGHT FORMATIONS
Salahshoor, Shadi (2019-05)Unconventional resources have led to a new abundance of natural oil and gas supply all over the world over the past decade and are expected to play a vital role in the future of this industry. Despite tremendous growth of ... -
Evaluating Treatment Parameters Toward Optimizing Production From Gas Reservoirs Using Wettability Alteration
Ajagbe, Oluwatobi (2019)Retrograde condensation in gas reservoirs results in a significant loss in well deliverability. A ring of condensate forms near the wellbore as a result of reservoir pressure falling below the dew point of the reservoir ... -
EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BRINE IN CRUDE OIL EMULSIONS AND ITS PERFORMANCE IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
Gomez Mejia, Sergio (2018)Understanding the behavior of water in oil emulsions can prevent flow assurance problems and the conditions at which these two fluids can mix. The stability and rheology of water in crude oil emulsions was studied for three ... -
An Experimental Investigation into Using Electro-Chemical Properties to Measure Permeability in Low Permeability Formations
Kazi, Tabish (2016-12-16)Permeability is one of the most important property in the study of rock formations. Different permeability measurement techniques have been used in the industry, some of which are based on modelling while others on ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF FLOW AND RHEOLOGY OF WATER-IN-CRUDE OIL EMULSIONS
KOBEA, GNALY MARIE HELENE (2019-05-10)The formation of water-in-crude oil emulsion is one of the main causes of flow assurance issues in petroleum production systems. These mixture exhibit changes in their flow behavior, and the rheological models used to ... -
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PRE-EXISTING FRACTURE SLIP AND PROPAGATION IN RESERVOIR STIMULATION
Ye, Zhi (2019-12)The deformation behavior and transport properties of subsurface reservoir rock masses are highly influenced by the existence of natural fractures. Shear reactivation of pre-existing fractures by pressurized fluid injection ... -
Geomechanical modeling of reservoir using finite element method
Feizi Masouleh, Shahla (2020)The importance of refracturing horizontal wells in low permeability reservoirs is well recognized in the oil and gas industry. As a result of production from a propped open fracture, the stress changes in the reservoir. ... -
Impact of Viscous Acid-in-Oil Emulsion Formation on Well Productivity Following Acid Stimulation
Scarborough, Bryan (2016-12-16)Acid stimulation techniques matrix acidizing and acid fracturing are commonly applied in carbonate reservoirs. The goal of such techniques is to increase well productivity by enhancing permeability in the near wellbore ... -
IMPORTANCE OF PORE SIZE FOR EFFECTIVE DENSITY OF SHALE GAS
Curtin, James III (2017-05-12)The proper development of any natural gas reservoir depends on knowing several key factors; perhaps the most important of these factors is the volume of gas-in-place of a reservoir at a given pressure. Gas-in-place ... -
