Forecasting Ultimate Recovery Using Probablistic Model for Flow-Regime Changes
(2016-08-19)
Determination of the yet to be produced oil and gas prescribes the assets of a company. This is important internally in regard to budgeting and externally in regard to the valuation of the company. The yet to be produced ...
Modeling Multicomponent Gas Flow in Liquids Rich Shales
(2016-05)
Production data acquired from liquids-rich shale reservoirs show a few very interesting trends:
1. A relatively constant gas-oil ratio (GOR) or condensate-gas ratio (CGR) although flowing bottomhole pressures may be below ...
THE BEHAVIOR OF EMULSION IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
(2016-08)
The gas lift system and ESP are used to enhance oil production from a well. The basic principle of gas lift technique is reducing the gravity component of the pressure by injecting gas, thus increasing the oil production ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PROPPANT TRANSPORT IN HORIZONTAL AND DIRECTIONAL WELLS
(2016)
Wellbore cleanouts represent the main application of the coiled tubing (CT) industry. A typical cleanout operation designed to remove solids from the wellbore using stationary circulation method involves tripping the CT ...
Experimental Study of Proppant Pack Deformation
(2016)
Unconventional reservoirs, especially shales are drilled horizontally and hydraulically fractured for economical production. Proppant is carried and placed with the use of fracturing fluid to maintain fracture conductivity ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF EXPERIMENTAL PARAMETERS REQUIRED TO STUDY HYDROCARBON PHASE BEHAVIOR UNDER CONSTANT VOLUME AND CONSTANT COMPOSITION CONDITIONS
(2016)
Accurate fluid phase behavior evaluation is essential for reservoir engineers to predict the type of reservoir, oil and gas in place, and develop proper production strategies. The change in phase behavior and phase equilibrium ...
Data Mining Applications in Reservoir Modeling
(2016-08-08)
Data science has gained great attentions in many fields over the last decade, in this thesis, I further explored the use of data science technique in oil industry and developed three data mining applications that could be ...
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 ...
Wettability Alteration Using Fluorinated Nano-Silica for Near Wellbore Region
(2016-12-16)
Fluorinated nano-Silica particles are capable of coating silica and limestone substrates with an amphiphobic layer. A layer that repels both water and oil to some extent. The polymer formed with PFDS and TEOS is capable ...
Impact of Viscous Acid-in-Oil Emulsion Formation on Well Productivity Following Acid Stimulation
(2016-12-16)
Acid stimulation techniques matrix acidizing and acid fracturing are commonly applied in carbonate reservoirs. The goal of such techniques is to increase well productivity by enhancing permeability in the near wellbore ...
