HLD-NAC Based Solutions for Surfactant Flooding
(2016-04-05)
Established technologies like primary recovery methods using gas pressure and other natural forces in the reservoir, and secondary recovery by water flooding can only approximately recover one-third of the crude oil present ...
PORE CONNECTIVITY IN SHALE FORMATIONS
(2018-12-14)
Shale formations demonstrate distinct characteristics, such as a wide spectrum of pore size from micro-scale to nano-scale, ultra-low permeability, and complex pore network system. Despite extensive research work over years ...
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 ...
DRAINAGE BEHAVIOR OF AQUEOUS, POLYMERIC, AND OIL-BASED NITROGEN FOAMS: THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION
(2019-08-01)
Foams can be formulated to have a wide range of densities and viscosities. This unique behavior makes foam suitable for underbalanced drilling where pressure exerted on formation is maintained below pore pressure and at ...
Introducing the connected reservoir storage concept for reservoir characterization and production forecast
(2020-12)
This research presents a novel concept of the connected reservoir storage (CRSM) with which we can characterize the reservoir and accurately predict the production performance of hydrocarbon reservoirs, which have a complex ...
Applying machine learning models to diagnose failures in electrical submersible pumps
(2022-12-17)
Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) failures are unanticipated but common occurrences in oil and gas wells. It is necessary to detect the onset of failures early and prevent excessive downtime. This study proposes a novel ...
Analysis and Control of Stick-Slip using a Scaled Experimental Drilling Rig
(2023-08-04)
Drilling is one of the most challenging and expensive processes involved in oil and gas production. Due to the destructive nature of the drilling process, dysfunctions are common during drilling. These dysfunctions can ...
