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 ...
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 ...
THE KEROGEN 3D SOLID STATE STRUCTURE MODELING AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN RESERVOIR SIMULATION
(2016-12-16)
A 3D solid state Green River Oil Shale kerogen model was built in this thesis through the following two steps: 1. a molecular nanocluster model of kerogen composed of seven molecules was built based on an adsorption method; ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE RHEOLOGY AND STABILITY BEHAVIOUR OF SURFACTANT STABILIZED WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION
(2016-12-16)
Formation water almost always comes out with crude oil production. Under extreme mixing and high turbulence provided by pumps, valves, chokes and pipelines in the production system, water and oil can mix to form highly ...
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 ...
