DETERMINATION OF SHALE ANISOTROPIC POROVISCOELASTIC PROPERTIES FROM THREE-POINT BEAM BENDING TEST
Zhou, Yang (2017-05-12)Permeability is an extremely important property of shale. It is essential to know permeability as it can aid engineers in developing drilling and production strategies and help executives make important financial decisions. ... -
INJECTION EXPERIMENTS ON ROCKS UNDER TRIAXIAL CONDITION WITH ACOUSTIC EMISSION MONITORING
Eskandari Halvaei, Mostafa (2016-12)This work presents the results of a series of triaxial- injection experiments carried out on two basalt cores from the Newberry geothermal field well GEO-N2 and a Mississippi lime stone. A combination of triaxial and ... -
INTEGRATING EFFECTS OF GEOMECHANICS, PHASE BEHAVIOR UNDER CONFINEMENT AND PERMEABLITY AS A FUNCTION OF PORE SIZE ON GAS AND CONDENSATE PRODUCTION FROM UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCES
Mask, Gene (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 KEROGEN 3D SOLID STATE STRUCTURE MODELING AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN RESERVOIR SIMULATION
Zhang, Zhenyu (2016-12-16)A 3D solid state Green River Oil Shale kerogen model was built in this thesis through the following two steps: 1. a molecular nanocluster model of kerogen composed of seven molecules was built based on an adsorption method; ... -
Modeling Microemulsion Phase Behavior With Consideration of Phase Partitioning of Co-Solvent
Mu, Binbin (2017-05-12)Co-solvents are widely used to improve chemical flooding formulations design, but partitioning of co-solvent within phases has great impacts on microemulsion phase behavior. Microemulsion phase behavior plays a key role ... -
Non-Destructive Index Testing For Relative Assessment Of Rock Strength
Vachaparampil, Alex (2016)Index tests for the determination of rock properties have been employed since the early 90s, based on methods developed since the 1900s in the metallurgical industry. Examples include the Brinell hardness test, Rockwell ... -
NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF HYDRAULICALLY INDUCED CASING DEFORMATION IN SHALE RESERVOIR
Xu, Ziyi (2018-08)Hydraulic fracturing stimulation is widely conducted to enhance hydrocarbon production in low-permeability reservoirs. However, the massive fracturing can lead to the well failure by compromising well integrity. In this ... -
Optimizing Wettability to Maximize Production from Retrograde Condensate Reservoirs - A Simulation Approach
Weiss, Maxine (2017-05-12)It is well documented that significant production loss can be expected when regions of a retrograde condensate reservoir fall below the dew point, leading to liquid banking around the wellbore. Several methods have been ... -
Revisiting the mechanisms of clay damage
Perez, Felipe (2016-05)Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of water interaction with Wyoming-type montmorillonites. The study focused on (1) the clay swelling process for different cations with the ... -
TRANSIENT TEMPERATURE BEHAVIOR IN WELLBORE AND SURROUNDING FORMATION
Jiang, Yu (2017-05-12)Transient temperature behavior in a wellbore develops as a result of heat exchange between fluid in the wellbore and surrounding formation as the hot fluid from reservoir moves upward in production, or vice versa during ...
