INTEGRATED MODELING AND SIMULATION OF MULTI-STAGE HYDRAULIC FRACTURED WELLS IN THE WOODFORD SHALE
(2019-08-01)The Late Devonian-Early Mississippian Woodford shale is known as the main source rock in the state of Oklahoma, and one of the most attractive unconventional plays in the U.S. Early Woodford’s exploration and development ... -
An Integrated Paleomagnetic and Diagenetic Study of the Womble Shale in the Benton Uplift, Arkansas
(2021-05-16)The objective of this project is to conduct an integrated paleomagnetic and diagenetic study of the Ordovician Womble Shale in Mt. Ida, Arkansas, in order to test if diagenetic events can be identified and dated with ... -
Integrated petrophysical-seismic sequence stratigraphy of the mixed carbonate clastic sediment gravity flows of the Bone Spring Formation, New Mexico
(2020)The Bone Spring Formation is one of the dominant oil and gas producing formations in the Permian Basin today. It is Leonardian in age and lies just below the Guadeloupian Brushy Canyon Formation in the Delaware Basin. ... -
Integrated Production Data Analysis of Horizontal Fractured Well in Unconventional Reservoir
(2016-12-16)This thesis presents a novel analytical solution to predict the expansion of drainage volume for compound transient linear flow system consisting of stimulated-reservoir volume (SRV) and unstimulated shale/tight sandstone ... -
Integrated System to Reduce Emissions from a Natural Gas-Fired Reciprocating Engine
(2022-08)Internal Combustion (IC) engines are a significant source of environmental pollution; therefore, global efforts are being made for their growth and sustainability. Mainly, the Natural Gas-Fired Reciprocating Engines (NGFRE), ... -
INTEGRATING EFFECTS OF GEOMECHANICS, PHASE BEHAVIOR UNDER CONFINEMENT AND PERMEABLITY AS A FUNCTION OF PORE SIZE ON GAS AND CONDENSATE PRODUCTION FROM UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCES
(2016-05-13)Modeling production in a naturally fractured shale gas condensate reservoir that has been stimulated in commercial simulators faces many challenges. Phase behavior and geomechanics cannot be easily incorporated and have ... -
The integration of hotel interactive lighting systems to support users' visual comfort and activity needs
