Use Capacitance-Resistance Model to Characterize Water Flooding in A Tight Oil Reservoir
(2017-12-15)
Gaither Draw Unit is a heterogeneous and tight formation with an average permeability of 0.1 mD. After more than 1.7 MMSTB water has been injected, there was no clear signal indicating the injected water from any producer. ...
CO2 HUFF-N-PUFF IN UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCES PLAYS – AN INTEGRATED MODELING APPROACH FOCUSING ON PERMIAN BASIN
(2019-08-01)
Despite the recent growth in oil production from unconventional reservoirs, existing hydraulically fractured horizontal wells face challenges of poor recovery with the rapid production decline over a short life span. ...
Flow of Power-Law Fluid in a Partially Blocked Eccentric Annulus
(2016-12-16)
Directional drilling has been increased recently due to its multiple benefits when compared to conventional drilling. Among several advantages, the increase in the production of oil and gas through the use of multiple ...
Removal of Residual Oil From Produced Water Using Magnetic Nanoparticles
(2019-08)
The production of wastewater during hydrocarbon recovery is an unresolvable factor of the oil and gas industry. Oil wells in the US produce on average, nearly 10 barrels of water for every 1 barrel of oil. Most of the ...
Forecasting Natural Gas Prices in the United States Using Artificial Neural Networks
(2016-05-13)
Prediction of the natural gas price is imperative to producers, suppliers, traders, market makers, and bankers involved in the natural gas exploration, production transportation, and trading. Additionally, consumers are ...
Petrophysical Characterization of Shales Utilizing Laboratory and Field NMR
(2016-08)
Over the years, service companies designed numerous tools for field NMR measurements. Amongst them are CMR-Plus with Schlumberger, MRIL-Prime with Halliburton and MREX with Baker Hughes. NMR logs found success in application ...
MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE DESTABILIZATION OF ACID IN CRUDE OIL EMULSIONS USING POPULATION BALANCE EQUATION
(2019-08)
In this current work, a phenomenological mathematical model that utilizes the population balance equation was developed to understand the destabilization process of acid in crude oil emulsions in laboratory conditions. The ...
Implementation of a Digital Sucker Rod Pumping Unit for Research and Educational Purposes
(2019-05-10)
Sucker rod pumps are one of the most popular solutions for artificial lift since its inception in the 19th century and its design has not changed much since then. In the present, companies are deploying digital technology ...
INVESTIGATION AND REAL-TIME MONITORING FOR SAFE WASTE-WATER DISPOSAL WITH A FOCUS ON ARBUCKLE GROUP, OKLAHOMA
(2018)
Increase in the earthquakes in the State of Oklahoma in recent years has been tremendous with wastewater disposal considered to be the primary reason behind this increase. A large quantity of wastewater is being injected ...
Optimizing Wettability to Maximize Production from Retrograde Condensate Reservoirs - A Simulation Approach
(2017-05-12)
It is well documented that significant production loss can be expected when regions of a retrograde condensate reservoir fall below the dew point, leading to liquid banking around the wellbore. Several methods have been ...
