TRANSIENT TEMPERATURE BEHAVIOR IN WELLBORE AND SURROUNDING FORMATION
(2017-05-12)
Transient temperature behavior in a wellbore develops as a result of heat exchange between fluid in the wellbore and surrounding formation as the hot fluid from reservoir moves upward in production, or vice versa during ...
A Heuristic Simulation and Optimization Algorithm for Large Scale Natural Gas Storage Valuation under Uncertainty
(2015-04-23)
Natural gas storage valuation is an optimal scheduling of natural gas storage facilities. It is a complex predictive decision making research problem since it involves the financial decisions and the physical storage ...
Inferring Interwell Connectivity by Statistical Diagnostic Tools and Signal Processing Methods
(2018-12-14)
Data mining has become increasingly crucial in deciphering reservoir dynamics. Operators currently acquire an enormous amount of data that are not effectively being used. These data contain valuable information about ...
Importance of Capillary Heterogeneity in Developing a Representative Reservoir Model for Shales with Complex Fractures
(2016-12-16)
Our advancement in hydraulic fracturing has enabled us to produce shale formations economically. The formation stimulation is successful when the effective transport properties of the formation is improved significantly, ...
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 ...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF ROTATIONAL SPEED AND WEIGHT ON BIT ON DRILLSTRING VIBRATIONS, TORQUE AND RATE OF PENETRATION
(2017-05-12)
Experimental investigation was carried out on an automated drilling rig fabricated for the Drillbotics competition. The effects of rotational speed and weight on bit were observed on drillstring vibrations, torque and rate ...
Modeling Multicomponent Gas Flow in Liquids Rich Shales
(2016-05)
Production data acquired from liquids-rich shale reservoirs show a few very interesting trends:
1. A relatively constant gas-oil ratio (GOR) or condensate-gas ratio (CGR) although flowing bottomhole pressures may be below ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PROPPANT TRANSPORT IN HORIZONTAL AND DIRECTIONAL WELLS
(2016)
Wellbore cleanouts represent the main application of the coiled tubing (CT) industry. A typical cleanout operation designed to remove solids from the wellbore using stationary circulation method involves tripping the CT ...
Laboratory Characterization of Reservoir Stimulation and Heat Extraction with Application to EGS
(2019-12)
Enhanced or engineered geothermal systems (EGS) could enable extraction of significant geothermal energy from hot relatively dry rock reservoirs. However, issues related to reservoir creation in different type of rocks and ...
Modeling Nanofluid Utilization to Control Fines Migration
(2017-05-12)
This dissertation presents analytical solutions to address several unresolved issues on modeling of nanofluid utilization to control fines migration in porous media. Despite numerical simulations, analytical solutions ...
