Synergistic interactions of xanthan and guar gum polymers
(2015)
Polymers such as xanthan and guar gum are widely used in the oilfield and food industry as viscosifiers. In hydraulic fracturing operation, guar gum polymer solution is used as fracturing fluid to create fracture in a ...
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 ...
CONNECTIVITIES OF VARIOUS COMPONENTS IN ORGANIC-RICH SHALE
(2019)
The physical properties of shale are fundamentally controlled by its microstructure. Connectivity of various components in shale is an important property that governs the transport of mass, energy and momentum. Quantifying ...
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 ...
ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDY OF SEVERAL UTILIZATION ALTERNATIVES FOR A STRANDED OFFSHORE GAS RESERVOIR
(2019-12-13)
Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) has been on the rise in recent years to meet growing energy demand, worldwide. As energy consumption and exploitation of onshore unconventional gas reservoirs continue to grow while ...
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 ...
GEOMECHANICAL RESERVOIR CHARACTERIAZATION AND APPLICATIONS
(2017-05-12)
The Mechanical Earth Model (MEM) is gaining attention in the oil and gas industry recently since utilizing horizontal well and multistage fracturing technologies requires understanding of the reservoir geomechanical ...
Estimation of Relative Permeability in Nanoporous Samples and Modeling of Pressure Transient Response in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
(2017-12-15)
Relative permeability and irreducible saturations of organic-rich shale samples from various formations from different maturity windows are estimated by processing the low-pressure nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements. ...
Modeling Microemulsion Phase Behavior With Consideration of Phase Partitioning of Co-Solvent
(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 ...
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 ...
