USING MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATION TO STUDY BEHAVIOR OF HYDROCARBON FLUID
(2019-08)
The purpose of this thesis is to study hydrocarbon fluid behavior with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In the past two decades, MD simulation has been proved to be a reliable tool in the study of oil and natural gas ...
Wellbore Cleanout in Inclined and Horizontal Wellbores – The Effects of Fluid Rheology, Inclination, and Solids Density.
(2019-08-30)
Recent technical improvements in the drilling process have allowed drilling of high inclination and horizontal wells with longer laterals. The frequency of such wells has increased over time due to their advantage of ...
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 ...
Machine assisted quantitative seismic interpretation
(2017-05)
During the past decades, the size of 3D seismic data volumes and the number of seismic attributes have increased to the extent that it is difficult, if not impossible, for interpreters to examine every seismic line and ...
Investigation of Turbulence Model Performance in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
(2019)
Wind turbines are critically important in the quest to move towards a non-renewable energy independent world. With the space to add 5M wind turbines, the United States is at the forefront of this transition. Horizontal ...
