A coupled model for the prediction of interformation flow through an abandoned well.
(1998)Application of the model is demonstrated in a computer program which is used to evaluate hypothetical field cases of varying producer/injector combinations and user defined abandoned well location and conditions. The results ... -
DENSITY CHANGES AND COMPOSITIONAL PATH DURING CO2 INJECTION
(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 ... -
Development and properties of a self-bursting pellet as agglomerated from coal fines by use of an organic binder.
(1980)In all aspects of the mining, processing, and handling of coal, fine particles are generated that are in many cases wasted. These fines can be agglomerated into strong and durable pellets by use of an organic binder which ... -
Development of a three-segment hydraulic model for cuttings transport in horizontal and deviated wells.
(2001)This study describes the model development for each segment, the combination of each model, the solution, and the simulation results of the combined three-segment model. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of the effects ... -
A DISLOCATION-BASED BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHOD TO MODEL PRESSURIZED FRACTURES
(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 ... -
Drilling Foam Rheology and Hydraulics at High Pressure and Elevated Temperature
(2020-05-08)Foam has been successfully used as the motive fluid for different operations such as well stimulation, underbalanced drilling, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), cleanout, and acidizing operations in the oil and gas industry. ... -
Dual-porosity approach to wellbore stability in naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2002)The naturally fractured reservoir was treated as a dual-porosity medium consisting of the primary rock matrix system and the fractured system. Assuming the matrix and fractures in the fractured medium to be 'separate and ... -
A dual-porosity model for two-phase flow in deforming porous media.
(1999)In this dissertation, an approach, which is based on the dual-porosity concept and takes into account rock deformations, is presented to derive rigorously a set of coupled differential equations governing the behavior of ... -
ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDY OF SEVERAL UTILIZATION ALTERNATIVES FOR A STRANDED OFFSHORE GAS RESERVOIR
(2019-12-13)Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) has been on the rise in recent years to meet growing energy demand, worldwide. As energy consumption and exploitation of onshore unconventional gas reservoirs continue to grow while ... -
Economic optimization of offshore oil field development /

Effect of Nanoparticles and Solvent Based Emulsion on Heavy Oil Viscosity
(2016-05)Considering the fact that heavy oil and bitumen constitutes about 70% of world’s total oil resources, it is not surprising that the quest to produce heavy oil has attained industry wide attention. Because of extremely high ... -
Effect of pressure depletion on hydrocarbon recovery in naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2006)The link between well test analysis, the material balance equation, and the elastic properties of the rock resides in the fluid storage capacity. Thus, in this study, the influence of stress on the mechanical behavior of ... -
Effects of Pressure and Oil Contamination on Drainage and Bubble Size Distribution of Aqueous Foams
(2022-05-14)Foams exhibit valuable properties such as high viscosity, low density, and good cutting carrying capacity. However, they are thermodynamically unstable due to gravitational drainage, bubble coalescence, and coarsening. As ... -
Effects of resident water and non-equilibrium adsorption on the primary and enhanced coalbed methane gas recovery.
(2006)This study presents an experimental and theoretical procedure to investigate the effects of the resident water and time-dependency of the sorption process on coalbed and shale gas primary and enhanced recovery by simultaneous ... -
Evaluating Treatment Parameters Toward Optimizing Production From Gas Reservoirs Using Wettability Alteration
(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 and numerical simulation study of microbial enhanced oil recovery using bio-surfactants.
(2005)A 2-phase, 10-component microbial enhanced oil recovery numerical simulator was modified to include reservoir salinity and facilitate surfactant and polymer injection. The effects of reservoir brine salinity and divalent ... -
EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BRINE IN CRUDE OIL EMULSIONS AND ITS PERFORMANCE IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
(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 ... -
Experimental Investigation of Molecular Hydrogen Effect on Cement Related to Well Integrity for Underground Hydrogen Storage
(2022)Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) in the subsurface is an alternative to overcome limitations associated with a fluctuating production of renewable energy sources. The excess energy produced can be converted to hydrogen ...
