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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
QUANTIFYING PARTICLE TRANSPORTATION FOR UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION
(2017-12)
The objectives of this research dissertation include: (1) develop a novel procedure of single well chemical tracer test (SWCTT) and modification of method of moments (MoM) to estimate mobile oil saturation; (2) apply ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF SURFACTANTS AND TRACER PROPERTIES FOR POTENTIAL EOR APPLICATIONS
(2017)
There are some challenges in chemical flooding, such as, gas finger problem usually occurred in field tests, potential scale problems of chemical slug caused by precipitation due to incompatibility between chemical solution ...
NEW AND IMPROVED TECHNIQUES FOR CHARACTERIZING BRITTLE ROCK RESPONSE
(2017-12)
To improve the production from shale, stimulation technique such as hydraulic fracturing with proppants is essential. To maximize the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing, brittle intervals with the minimum creep deformation ...
Multiscale Modeling of Nanoparticles Transport, Aggregation, and In Situ Gelation in Porous Media
(2017)
Nanoparticle applications in the petroleum industry have grown recently especially in EOR and well stimulation. Transport of nanoparticles in porous media involves different interaction mechanisms either between nanoparticles ...
