Studying “fitness for service” of the sealing assemblies and cement system
(2018-05)
Well integrity is a crucial phase of well design and construction, as such multiple barriers are usually installed in wells to prevent any migration of formation fluids. One of these barriers include the elastomeric sealing ...
A global optimization framework for stochastic integrated refinery planning with nonlinear unit models under demand and price uncertainties
(2020-09-11)
The refining industry is facing increased volatility in the global market such as lower economic margins. In this situation, refinery production planning becomes a substantial tool to utilize all potentials to extend the ...
Application of Tiab's Direct Synthesis technique to multi-layer naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2000)
Next, the problem of the pressure behavior of a well crossed by a uniform-flux and infinite-conductivity vertical fracture and located in a single-layer and multilayered bounded square reservoir with a double porosity ...
The exploration of equivalent alkane carbon number of molecules
(2020)
This work strives to be a useful compilation of hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation (HLD) information with a focus on explaining the current understanding of Equivalent Alkane Carbon Number (EACN). The industrial interests ...
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 ...
Viscoelastic measurements of fracturing fluids for proppant transport application.
(2001)
One of the primary functions of a fracturing fluid is to transport and distribute proppant through a fracture and to keep the particles suspended till reservoir closes on the fracture. The proppant when suspended and ...
Comparative Study of Pore Structure Characterization for Different Rock Samples Using Digital Images
(2019-12)
Due to the scarcity in supply of energy and slumping production from conventional reservoirs, exportation from unconventional tight shale reservoirs has received considerable scholarly attention in recent years. However, ...
EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BRINE IN CRUDE OIL EMULSIONS AND ITS PERFORMANCE IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
(2018)
Understanding the behavior of water in oil emulsions can prevent flow assurance problems and the conditions at which these two fluids can mix. The stability and rheology of water in crude oil emulsions was studied for three ...
Experimental and numerical simulation study of microbial enhanced oil recovery using bio-surfactants.
(2005)
A 2-phase, 10-component microbial enhanced oil recovery numerical simulator was modified to include reservoir salinity and facilitate surfactant and polymer injection. The effects of reservoir brine salinity and divalent ...
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 ...
