Effects of Pressure and Oil Contamination on Drainage and Bubble Size Distribution of Aqueous Foams
(2022-05-14)
Foams exhibit valuable properties such as high viscosity, low density, and good cutting carrying capacity. However, they are thermodynamically unstable due to gravitational drainage, bubble coalescence, and coarsening. As ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF EFFECT OF PROPPANT CONCENTRATION, TYPES, SIZES, ROCK MINERALOGY AND OVERBURDEN STRESS ON FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY
(2019-12-13)
Hydrocarbon production from unconventional reservoirs, particularly shales, requires massive hydraulic fractures to expose the large surface areas within the formation and provide a conduit to the wellbore. Proppants are ...
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 ...
Case Study: Integrated Core Modeling and Simulation of Unconventional Hydraulically Fractured Wells in the Delaware Basin
(2020-07-30)
The Early Paleozoic Wolfcamp formation is one of the main unconventional reservoirs in the Delaware Basin, and highly targeted by U.S. companies. Innovative completion techniques and representative core analysis have ...
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 ...
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 ...
Preparation of Field Validation for an All-Digital, Permanent Downhole Pressure Sensor Design
(2023-12-15)
Downhole pressure sensing has become increasingly important in oil and gas operations. Some of the many advancements provided by an improvement in downhole sensing is seen in drilling, stimulation, production forecasting, ...
Application of a New Yield Strength Acquisition Method to the Calculation of Collapse Pressure
(2018)
The accuracy of a casing collapse prediction is critical to a successful casing design program. This is especially true today as the likelihood of HPHT reservoirs and difficult conditions downhole has become increasingly ...
Effect of Nanoparticles and Solvent Based Emulsion on Heavy Oil Viscosity
(2016-05)
Considering the fact that heavy oil and bitumen constitutes about 70% of world’s total oil resources, it is not surprising that the quest to produce heavy oil has attained industry wide attention. Because of extremely high ...
IMPROVEMENT OF SYNGAS PRODUCTION FROM WASTE RESOURCES THROUGH CHEMICAL LOOPING REFORMING USING DUAL PHASE MFe2O4-Ca2Fe2O5 CATALYST
(2024)
World consumption has demanded human beings to look for new alternatives to fossil fuel to reduce greenhouse gases effects. To supply those needs hydrogen has been studied to decrease the effect of greenhouse gases and ...
