NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF HYDRAULICALLY INDUCED CASING DEFORMATION IN SHALE RESERVOIR
(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 ...
MAPPING HYDRAULIC FRACTURE USING SHEAR WAVE
(2018-12)
It has become critical to understand the location of hydraulic fracture and the extent to which it stimulates a reservoir to plan future drilling and completions. Various methods have been used to map the fracture propagation. ...
3D RESERVOIR GEOMECHANICS MODEL OF THE PROPOSED FORGE LABORATORY SITE NEAR MILFORD UTAH
(2018-05-11)
In this thesis a 3D reservoir geomechanics model (mechanical earth model) is constructed for the FORGE laboratory site near Milford, Utah. Such characterizations are necessary for enhanced geothermal sites (EGS) that rely ...
Applying the Simplified Local Density Model to Study the Effects fo Confinement on Density in Shale Formation
(2016)
The pores in shale gas reservoirs are represented on a nanometer scale. In addition to having smaller pore sizes than conventional reservoirs, shale gas reservoirs exhibit different mechanisms of gas storage, i.e. gas ...
Numerical simulation study on CO2 injection for enhancing hydrocarbon recovery and sequestration in tight oil formations
(2014)
Hydrocarbon resources from unconventional reservoirs, especially tight/shale plays, are changing the North America's energy prospect. Single digit percentage of oil shale recovery with current best practices, leaves a large ...
Modeling Adsorption in Shale
(2016-12-16)
The existing conventional methods to characterize reservoir storage properties face challenges in shale formations due to their fine grained texture, low porosity, and low permeability. An integrated analysis of standard ...
CALCULATION OF ESTIMATED OIL RECOVERY USING CARTER TYPE CURVES
(2017-05-12)
The focus of this research is to calculate the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) of shale wells for a diverse range of fluid types using Carter (1985) type curves. The Carter (1985) type curve is a plot of flow rate versus ...
IMPACT OF WETTABILITY ALTERATION ON RELATIVE PERMEABILITY IN SANDSTONE FOR GAS-CONDENSATE APPLICATION
(2017-05-12)
Gas condensate reservoirs can experience severe production losses once the bottom-hole flowing pressure drops below the dew point pressure, where condensate starts to form near the wellbore. During production under these ...
SULFIDE STRESS CRACKING BEHAVIOR OF GRADE C-110, Q-125 AND T-95 STEEL TUBULARS UNDER HIGH-PRESSURE CONDITIONS
(2016-12-16)
Due to the expansion of hydrocarbon exploration into challenging sour oil and gas resources, the industry is now facing severe sour related corrosion problem. Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC) is one of the detrimental types ...
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 ...
