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 ...
Removal of Residual Oil From Produced Water Using Magnetic Nanoparticles
(2019-08)
The production of wastewater during hydrocarbon recovery is an unresolvable factor of the oil and gas industry. Oil wells in the US produce on average, nearly 10 barrels of water for every 1 barrel of oil. Most of the ...
Anisotropic poromechanics of the wellbore coupled with thermal and chemical gradients.
(2002)
A generalized anisotropic porothermoelastic formulation incorporating fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical response of saturated porous media is developed. Governing equations are tailored for transversely isotropic media ...
Forecasting Natural Gas Prices in the United States Using Artificial Neural Networks
(2016-05-13)
Prediction of the natural gas price is imperative to producers, suppliers, traders, market makers, and bankers involved in the natural gas exploration, production transportation, and trading. Additionally, consumers are ...
THE KEROGEN 3D SOLID STATE STRUCTURE MODELING AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN RESERVOIR SIMULATION
(2016-12-16)
A 3D solid state Green River Oil Shale kerogen model was built in this thesis through the following two steps: 1. a molecular nanocluster model of kerogen composed of seven molecules was built based on an adsorption method; ...
Theoretical and experimental studies of power-law fluid flow in coiled tubing.
(2006)
Abstract not available.
RHEOLOGY OF AQUEOUS AND POLYMER-BASED NITROGEN FOAMS AT HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE (HPHT) CONDITIONS
(2017-05-12)
Foams are complex mixtures of gas and liquid held together by a surfactant at the gas-water interface. The use of foams find application in many industrial operations such as underbalanced drilling fluid, fracturing fluid ...
Chemical Flood Under High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Conditions
(2014-08-15)
After the primary and secondary production, there is still a great potential of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Currently, the high oil price, increase of oil demand and maturing oil fields and the improvement in surfactant ...
MECHANISTIC MODEL OF COMPLEX CONDUCTIVITY OF POROUS MEDIA CONTAINING CONDUCTIVE PARTICLES OF VARYING WETTABILITY
(2019-08)
Electrically conductive particles, such as graphite and pyrite particles, and surface-charge-bearing nonconductive particles, such as sand and clay grains, are commonly present in subsurface geological formations. When a ...
Bottom hole analyses of gas kick (inflow) and gas reservoir characterization while drilling underbalanced.
(2005)
This study presents two new models developed to analyze gas flow between the reservoir and the wellbore while drilling underbalanced. Three drilling operational stages were considered in the analyses. These stages are the ...
