IMPROVING THE EnKF FOR HISTORY MATCHING: MULTISCALE PARAMETERIZATION AND BOOTSTRAP-BASED SCREENING
(2010)
Although the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has been remarkably successful for history matching and quantifying uncertainty in petroleum reservoirs, there have been problems with the use of small ensembles, and occasionally ...
CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF TUBULARS IN SOUR GAS ENVIRONMENT
(2017)
The existence of corrosive gases (CO2 and H2S) in oil wells under High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) condition exacerbates the severity of tubular corrosion and increases the need for different corrosion mitigation ...
Dual-Porosity and Dual-Permeability Poromechanics Solutions for Problems in Laboratory and Field Applications
(2010)
In this work, a study of anisotropic dual-porosity and dual-permeability poromechanics is presented through generalized analytical solutions for selected problems in laboratory and field applications. For example, the ...
History Matching of 3D Reservoir Models with Complex Non-Gaussian Distributions of the Model Parameters
(2010)
Although the first application of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) as a technique for sequential assimilation of noisy measurements was to a numerical weather prediction problem, remarkable research progress has been made ...
Multiple-Porosity and Multiple-Permeability Poroelasticity
(2013)
Since the advent of basic ideas in the theory of fluid seepage in fissured porous media, much effort has been placed in engineering and science departments of various disciplines in trying to foster the concept of dual-porosity ...
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 ...
Decision-Making for Well Placement Optimization in Oil Field Development
(2015)
Well placement is a method to improve oil recovery by drilling new infill wells in a reservoir. Drilling new wells is a critical yet very challenging task in field development, because the optimal well locations are rarely ...
SELF-DIVERTING NANOPARTICLE BASED IN-SITU GELLED ACIDS FOR STIMULATION OF CARBONATE FORMATIONS
(2017-12)
In carbonate matrix acidizing treatment, a major challenge for the operations is to divert the injected acid from the main flow regime into a relatively lower permeability zone due to the intrinsic and unique geological ...
MODELING RELAXATION EFFECTS ON MULTIPHASE FLUID TRANSPORT IN WELLS AND PIPELINES
(2012)
The effect of relaxation in processes involving phase transition during flow of reservoir fluids in pipelines and wells is investigated and formulated. Applications concerning the steady-state flow of producing wells, ...
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 ...
