EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION, CORRELATION, AND DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF NEAR-WELLBORE FORMATION TREATMENT BY GEL PARTICLES AND PARTICLE-GEL SYSTEM
(2014-12)
Reservoir permeability heterogeneity with high permeability zones can create many problems in petroleum reservoirs such as lost circulation of drilling fluids and high water production in hydrocarbon producing wells. These ...
Three-Dimensional FEM Modeling of Geothermal Reservoir Stimulation Using Stochastic Fracture Networks and Continuum Damage Mechanics
(2014-08)
Unconventional reservoirs are gaining more and more attention in recently years. Pore pressure and temperature variations in unconventional reservoirs during stimulation are of great importance in reservoir exploration and ...
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 ...
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 ...
PREDICTIONS OF CRITICAL GAS RATES IN HORIZONTAL AND DEVIATED WELLS
(2015-05)
The author’s intent through this work is to shed light on the current methods of predicting the onsets of liquid loading and to clarify that there is a difference in critical gas rate predictions between horizontal and ...
Chemical Flood Under High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Conditions
(2014-08-15)
After the primary and secondary production, there is still a great potential of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Currently, the high oil price, increase of oil demand and maturing oil fields and the improvement in surfactant ...
AN INTEGRATED GEOMECHANICS AND PETROPHYSICS STUDY OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING IN NATURALLY FRACTURED RESERVOIRS
(2014-05)
Production enhancement of tight reservoirs requires in-depth analysis of mechanisms governing hydraulic fracturing, especially in naturally fractured reservoirs. This study is dedicated to the optimization of hydraulic ...
