PROPPANT FLOW AND TRANSPORT MODELING IN DEFORMABLE HYDRAULIC FRACTURE NETWORKS
(2018)
The objective of the hydraulic fracturing stimulation is to create a large volume of fractured rock with enhanced permeability. The effectiveness of a hydraulic fracturing stimulation depends on maintaining the created ...
PERFORMANCE PREDICTION FOR DEEPWATER GULF OF MEXICO USING DATA MINING
(2016-08-05)
The estimation of recovery factor is important in every stage of hydrocarbon development, and multiple traditional techniques are available for engineering application for particular fields. However, the estimated recovery ...
Evaluation of multistage triaxial testing on Berea sandstone
(2004)
Conventional methods for obtaining failure envelopes require testing multiple samples, a luxury not enjoyed when dealing with core recovered from boreholes. Consequently, a multistage test performed on a single plug is ...
USING DATA ANALYTICS ON DIMENSIONLESS NUMBERS TO PREDICT THE ULTIMATE RECOVERY FACTORS FOR DIFFERENT DRIVE MECHANISMS OF GULF OF MEXICO OIL FIELDS
(2017-05-12)
The ultimate recovery factor is strongly affected by petrophysical parameters, engineering data, structures, and drive mechanisms. The knowledge of the recovery factor is needed for multiple decision makings and it should ...
DEVELOPMENT OF UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIRS: FLUID CHARACTERIZATION, STIMULATED RESERVOIR VOLUME DETERMINATION, AND PRODUCTION FORECASTING IN THE STACK
(2018-05)
The Mississippian-age Meramec Series is one of the primary producing intervals of the Sooner Trend in the Anadarko Basin of Canadian and Kingfisher (STACK) counties, Oklahoma and is currently among the most sought-after ...
Seismic signature of sedimentary rocks with CO₂ flooding
(2012)
Surface seismic offers a promising technique to monitor CO₂ flood fronts during enhanced oil recovery process. Changes in seismic signature have been observed with CO₂ flooding but quantification of the seismic signature ...
Stable nitrogen isotope signal in crude oils throughout geologic time
(2017-05-12)
Stable nitrogen isotopic compositions of asphaltene and NSO hydrocarbon fractions from sixty-two crude oils derived from siliciclastic, carbonate/marl, hypersaline and lacustrine source rocks of known geologic age ranging ...
Inferring Interwell Connectivity by Statistical Diagnostic Tools and Signal Processing Methods
(2018-12-14)
Data mining has become increasingly crucial in deciphering reservoir dynamics. Operators currently acquire an enormous amount of data that are not effectively being used. These data contain valuable information about ...
PERFORMACE OF UREA-BASED IN-SITU CO2 EOR: INFLUENCES OF DIFFERENT POROUS MEDIA
(2018-12-14)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) flooding has been proved as a successful method for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in oil fields globally in recent decades. However, significant growth of applying CO2-EOR technology is largely restricted ...
Non-Destructive Index Testing For Relative Assessment Of Rock Strength
(2016)
Index tests for the determination of rock properties have been employed since the early 90s, based on methods developed since the 1900s in the metallurgical industry. Examples include the Brinell hardness test, Rockwell ...
