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 ...
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 ...
History matching production data using the ensemble Kalman filter.
(2006)
In this dissertation, the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is refined for applications to the problem of history matching. This method assimilates data sequentially whenever data are acquired. It is a Monte Carlo approach, ...
A dual-porosity model for two-phase flow in deforming porous media.
(1999)
In this dissertation, an approach, which is based on the dual-porosity concept and takes into account rock deformations, is presented to derive rigorously a set of coupled differential equations governing the behavior of ...
Performance-decline curve analysis of vertical and horizontal wells in anisotropic and naturally fractured reservoirs.
(1999)
The research also introduces some novel approaches to estimating, from field production data, the simulation reservoir properties such as oil-water and gas-oil relative permeability relationships, PVT properties, and ...
Influence of stress on the petrophysical properties of flow units in clean and shaly heterogeneous formations.
(1997)
The results show that increasing effective stress reduces the value of reservoir quality index under stress (RQIs) for clean formations. In addition increasing effective stress significantly reduces the value of reservoir ...
Effect of pressure depletion on hydrocarbon recovery in naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2006)
The link between well test analysis, the material balance equation, and the elastic properties of the rock resides in the fluid storage capacity. Thus, in this study, the influence of stress on the mechanical behavior of ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of freezing and thawing of saturated porous media and application to shale and pore volume compressibility estimation.
(2007)
Conventional logging tool response is complicated by the presence of shale making it difficult to interpret the log response. Water saturation in shales assumes the shales are filled with brines found in nearby sands. In ...
