Application of Tiab's Direct Synthesis technique to multi-layer naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2000)
Next, the problem of the pressure behavior of a well crossed by a uniform-flux and infinite-conductivity vertical fracture and located in a single-layer and multilayered bounded square reservoir with a double porosity ...
Viscoelastic measurements of fracturing fluids for proppant transport application.
(2001)
One of the primary functions of a fracturing fluid is to transport and distribute proppant through a fracture and to keep the particles suspended till reservoir closes on the fracture. The proppant when suspended and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hydraulic fracturing of poorly consolidated formations: Considerations on rock properties and failure mechanisms.
(2005)
This dissertation addresses the issue of hydraulic fracturing stimulation of poorly consolidated formations. First, a complete review about the mechanical properties of such formations was performed. Typical ranges of ...
Modeling interporosity flow for improved simulation of naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2002)
Results from the numerical examples presented in this study indicate that the physical phenomena considered in the present model would predict shorter water breakthrough times and less oil recovery from the matrix, compared ...
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 ...
Simulation of asphaltene deposition in petroleum reservoirs during primary oil recovery.
(2000)
In this study, a polymer solution model for asphaltene precipitation was used to simulate the experimental data of asphaltene precipitation due to pressure depletion. The results predicted by the polymer solution model ...
Anisotropic effects upon amplitude-vs-offset response in realistic earth models.
(2000)
The derivation and computation of the reflection coefficient for general anisotropic media is described along with software written to implement the computation. This program is then used to compare the reflection response ...
Laboratory imaging of hydraulic fractures using microseismicity.
(2002)
Developing robust algorithms and software for locating the coordinates of hydraulic fracturing-induced microseismic events, and for simulating the first motion of the induced waveforms were central tasks for this research. ...
