TRIAXIAL AND INJECTION EXPERIMENTS ON ROCKS AND THEIR IMPACT ON PERMEABILITY AND ACOUSTIC EMISSIONS
(2017-05-12)
Understanding the various micromechanical processes that occur in a rock under in-situ stress conditions has been a major imperative of rock mechanics. Some of the applications of rock mechanics include the science of ...
Scale Up Reactive Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media Using Continuous Time Random Walk Approach
(2017-08)
Reservoir heterogeneities strongly affect the fluid flow in porous media. The behavior of transport and reaction of fluid varies at different scales, leading to the discrepancies between laboratory experiments and field ...
Linear Post Linear Flow Production Analysis
(2017-05-12)
This study was motivated by the production data observed from multi-fractured horizontal wells in the field that have two infinite acting flow regimes. These two infinite acting flow regimes appear as two straight lines ...
LABORATORY GEOMECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ARBUCKLE GROUP AND CRYSTALLINE BASEMENT ROCKS IN OKLAHOMA
(2017-05-12)
In the past decade, the rapidly increase in earthquakes in the State of Oklahoma has drawn serious attention. Some investigations have attributed the increased MEQ to the large amount of wastewater injections as part of ...
Quantification of recovery factors in downspaced shale wells
(2016-12-16)
Well spacing optimization in horizontal multi-fractured wells is the center of field development. Unconventional reservoirs due to the low matrix permeability cannot produce without the help of hydraulic fracturing. Unlike ...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PROPPED FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY
(2018-05)
Hydraulic fractures act as conduits connecting a wellbore to nanodarcy permeability unconventional reservoirs. Proppants are responsible for enhancing the fracture conductivity and help in maintaining high production rates. ...
Acoustic Velocity Study in Tight Anhydritic Dolomite of the Late Permian Khuff Formation
(2016-12-16)
Carbonate reservoirs are usually associated with diagenesis processes which result in complex mineralogy and pore structure. As a result, rock physics models that predict the petrophsyical properties using seismic based ...
Viscosity of Shale Gas
(2017)
Unconventional energy resources, including coal beds, tight gas sands, and shales, have become an ever-increasing factor in the North American gas supply. In these formations, the basic transport properties of the fluids ...
Steady State Permeability Measurements in Shales
(2018)
Characterizing matrix permeability in shale formations is vital to determining the long term productivity of a reservoir as well as determining the optimal completion design. Permeability of shales lies in the nanodarcy ...
NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE EFFECTS OF RESERVOIR HETEROGENEITY, FRACTURES, AND MULTI-WELL INTERFERENCE ON PRESSURE TRANSIENT RESPONSES USING MULTISTENCILS FAST MARCHING METHOD
(2017-08-28)
Analysis of rate and pressure transient responses of a well in spatially heterogeneous reservoir cannot be performed using conventional well-test analytical equations. An accurate analysis of transient pressure/rate responses ...
