EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION, CORRELATION, AND DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF NEAR-WELLBORE FORMATION TREATMENT BY GEL PARTICLES AND PARTICLE-GEL SYSTEM
(2014-12)
Reservoir permeability heterogeneity with high permeability zones can create many problems in petroleum reservoirs such as lost circulation of drilling fluids and high water production in hydrocarbon producing wells. These ...
Three-Dimensional FEM Modeling of Geothermal Reservoir Stimulation Using Stochastic Fracture Networks and Continuum Damage Mechanics
(2014-08)
Unconventional reservoirs are gaining more and more attention in recently years. Pore pressure and temperature variations in unconventional reservoirs during stimulation are of great importance in reservoir exploration and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
