INTERRELATING PRODUCTION ANALYSIS WITH PORE SCALE STRUCTURE IN THE BAKKEN RESERVOIR
(2016)
Improving well performance and associated project economics in oil resource plays rely on developing reservoir characterization capabilities. The need for understanding pore-scale geometry in low porosity low permeability ...
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF QUANTUM COMPRESSIVE IMAGING IN LOW PHOTON REGIME BY CONSIDERING PHOTON STATISTICS
(2016-06-22)
Compressive Imaging has been an extensively researched area inoptical imaging, object tracking,satellite applications,etc. There are many signalrecovery methods and comparative analyses of different algorithms ...
CORRELATING RATE OF PENETRATION AND BIT TRIPS TO 3D SURFACE SEISMIC DATA, ANADARKO SHELF, OKLAHOMA
(2016)
While initially thought to be laterally homogeneous, operators quickly realized that unconventional resource plays can exhibit considerable geologic heterogeneity. Since this realization, 3D surface seismic analysis has ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE RHEOLOGY AND STABILITY BEHAVIOUR OF SURFACTANT STABILIZED WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION
(2016-12-16)
Formation water almost always comes out with crude oil production. Under extreme mixing and high turbulence provided by pumps, valves, chokes and pipelines in the production system, water and oil can mix to form highly ...
FRACTURING OPTIMIZATION BASED ON DYNAMIC CONDUCTIVITY
(2016)
This thesis presents a systematic approach to evaluate and optimize production performance of fractured wells in tight oil formations. Underperformed hydraulically fractured wells have been widely reported; poor design is ...
METAPHORS WE BOMB BY: THE VALUES AND MEANINGS BEHIND SUPPORTING DRONES IN BOMBING ATTACKS
(2016-05-13)
This study theoretically examines the metaphors and values associated with exceptional patriotism and Christians in order to examine the support of military drones in bombing attacks against terrorism. Utilizing George ...
The diffusion of new media and radar technology and the role of broadcasters' prior experience and public perceptions in television severe weather coverage
(2010)
Broadcast meteorologists are the top source of information for people during severe weather in the U.S. (Hayes, 2009; Legates & Biddle, 1999; Schmidlin & King, 1997; Sherman-Morris, 2009) and play an important role in ...
Revisiting the mechanisms of clay damage
(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 ...
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 ...
An Experimental Investigation into Using Electro-Chemical Properties to Measure Permeability in Low Permeability Formations
(2016-12-16)
Permeability is one of the most important property in the study of rock formations. Different permeability measurement techniques have been used in the industry, some of which are based on modelling while others on ...
