Modeling interporosity flow for improved simulation of naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2002)
Results from the numerical examples presented in this study indicate that the physical phenomena considered in the present model would predict shorter water breakthrough times and less oil recovery from the matrix, compared ...
Multi-criteria optimization model for thermal recovery processes.
(1983)
In the Loco field case study, the steam drive enhances the heavy oil recovery by decreasing the oil viscosity and increasing the injectivity; therefore, a quicker return of investment is predicted. However, the in-situ ...
The accuracy of pulsed neutron capture logs for residual oil saturation determinations.
(1981)
Pulsed neutron capture logs have been used to determine residual oil saturations for many years. A previous study found that at low values of residual oil saturation (ROS) conventional pulsed neutron logging techniques did ...
Dual-porosity approach to wellbore stability in naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2002)
The naturally fractured reservoir was treated as a dual-porosity medium consisting of the primary rock matrix system and the fractured system. Assuming the matrix and fractures in the fractured medium to be 'separate and ...
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 ...
Simulation of asphaltene deposition in petroleum reservoirs during primary oil recovery.
(2000)
In this study, a polymer solution model for asphaltene precipitation was used to simulate the experimental data of asphaltene precipitation due to pressure depletion. The results predicted by the polymer solution model ...
Pressure analysis and water flooding performance of heterogeneous oil reservoirs.
(1980)
Also, this study presents a modification to the Dykstra-Parson method to predict water flooding performance of multilayered composite reservoirs. The modification takes into account the variations in reservoir properties ...
