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 ...
Experimental Study of Proppant Pack Deformation
(2016)
Unconventional reservoirs, especially shales are drilled horizontally and hydraulically fractured for economical production. Proppant is carried and placed with the use of fracturing fluid to maintain fracture conductivity ...
Modeling Microemulsion Phase Behavior With Consideration of Phase Partitioning of Co-Solvent
(2017-05-12)
Co-solvents are widely used to improve chemical flooding formulations design, but partitioning of co-solvent within phases has great impacts on microemulsion phase behavior. Microemulsion phase behavior plays a key role ...
INTERPRETATION OF INTER-WELL CHEMICAL TRACER TEST
(2017)
For the first time, this thesis presents a new approach to characterize reservoir layering and cross flow between layers using Inter-Well Chemical Tracer Test (ICTT). ICTT is a well-known reliable test for reservoir ...
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 ...
Impact of Viscous Acid-in-Oil Emulsion Formation on Well Productivity Following Acid Stimulation
(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 ...
Transport Phenomena in Micro Scale Channels and Pores by Numerical Simulations
(2014-12-12)
In this thesis, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in conjunction with the Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) algorithm are employed to numerically investigate: (i) the hydraulic responses to a linear array of finite-length ...
Rheological and Flow Characteristics of Drag Reducing Surfactant Solutions in Straight Pipes and Annular Ducts
(2014)
Surfactants are well-known as effective drag reducers and viscosifying agents. The macroscopic properties of surfactants are dictated by the surfactant type and the condition of the solvent in which the surfactant is ...
UNDERSTANDING THE FUNDAMENTAL DRIVE MECHANISMS FOR HUFF-N-PUFF ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY IN TIGHT FORMATIONS
(2019-12-13)
Unconventional oil and gas resources have recently become the major source of produced hydrocarbons in the US. The change in the energy landscape follows nearly two decades of technological breakthroughs including horizontal ...
PREDICTIONS OF CRITICAL GAS RATES IN HORIZONTAL AND DEVIATED WELLS
(2015-05)
The author’s intent through this work is to shed light on the current methods of predicting the onsets of liquid loading and to clarify that there is a difference in critical gas rate predictions between horizontal and ...
