Modeling Nanofluid Utilization to Control Fines Migration
(2017-05-12)
This dissertation presents analytical solutions to address several unresolved issues on modeling of nanofluid utilization to control fines migration in porous media. Despite numerical simulations, analytical solutions ...
Integration of time-lapse seismic data into automatic history matching.
(2005)
As an alternate to automating history matching through the minimization approach, the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) can be used to rapidly update the estimate of model variables. One advantage of the EnKF method is that ...
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 ...
3-D numerical simulation of horizontal well gravel pack.
(2004)
The modeling equations consist of five partial differential equations with five dependent variables, all of which were solved simultaneously. The system of partial differential equations was approximated using the ...
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 ...
Application of PEBI grid simulation to analyze pressure-transient behavior of hydraulically fractured vertical wells.
(2002)
Because of their flexibility while handling non-orthogonal systems, in this study, PEBI grids, implemented in a commercial simulator were employed to solve the mathematical models. However, it was first necessary to study ...
Physico-chemical behaviors of shale/fluid/solute interaction in geo-environmental and geo-engineering applications.
(2007)
This dissertation examines the rich and complex physical-mechanical behaviors exhibited by shales when exposed to differing solutions over time, temperature, chemical, and stress conditions. Using several unique experimental ...
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 ...
