AN INTEGRATED GEOMECHANICS AND PETROPHYSICS STUDY OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING IN NATURALLY FRACTURED RESERVOIRS
(2014-05)
Production enhancement of tight reservoirs requires in-depth analysis of mechanisms governing hydraulic fracturing, especially in naturally fractured reservoirs. This study is dedicated to the optimization of hydraulic ...
The poromechanics of naturally fractured rock formations: A finite element approach.
(2003)
The mathematical models have been cast into finite element form and verified against analytical solutions for one-dimensional consolidation and an inclined wellbore in a fully saturated single-porosity formation subjected ...
Non-oxidative conversion of methane in a DC plasma reactor.
(2004)
The interest in natural gas utilization has increased tremendously over the last decade. Natural gas is being looked at as an energy source, as well as a basis for the production of many chemicals. New technologies are ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF EFFECT OF PROPPANT CONCENTRATION, TYPES, SIZES, ROCK MINERALOGY AND OVERBURDEN STRESS ON FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY
(2019-12-13)
Hydrocarbon production from unconventional reservoirs, particularly shales, requires massive hydraulic fractures to expose the large surface areas within the formation and provide a conduit to the wellbore. Proppants are ...
INTERRELATING PRODUCTION ANALYSIS WITH PORE SCALE STRUCTURE IN THE BAKKEN RESERVOIR
(2016)
Improving well performance and associated project economics in oil resource plays rely on developing reservoir characterization capabilities. The need for understanding pore-scale geometry in low porosity low permeability ...
FRACTURING OPTIMIZATION BASED ON DYNAMIC CONDUCTIVITY
(2016)
This thesis presents a systematic approach to evaluate and optimize production performance of fractured wells in tight oil formations. Underperformed hydraulically fractured wells have been widely reported; poor design is ...
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 ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of freezing and thawing of saturated porous media and application to shale and pore volume compressibility estimation.
(2007)
Conventional logging tool response is complicated by the presence of shale making it difficult to interpret the log response. Water saturation in shales assumes the shales are filled with brines found in nearby sands. In ...
Integrated Production Data Analysis of Horizontal Fractured Well in Unconventional Reservoir
(2016-12-16)
This thesis presents a novel analytical solution to predict the expansion of drainage volume for compound transient linear flow system consisting of stimulated-reservoir volume (SRV) and unstimulated shale/tight sandstone ...
Application of a New Yield Strength Acquisition Method to the Calculation of Collapse Pressure
(2018)
The accuracy of a casing collapse prediction is critical to a successful casing design program. This is especially true today as the likelihood of HPHT reservoirs and difficult conditions downhole has become increasingly ...
