INTEGRATING EFFECTS OF GEOMECHANICS, PHASE BEHAVIOR UNDER CONFINEMENT AND PERMEABLITY AS A FUNCTION OF PORE SIZE ON GAS AND CONDENSATE PRODUCTION FROM UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCES
(2016-05-13)
Modeling production in a naturally fractured shale gas condensate reservoir that has been stimulated in commercial simulators faces many challenges. Phase behavior and geomechanics cannot be easily incorporated and have ...
Wettability Alteration Using Fluorinated Nano-Silica for Near Wellbore Region
(2016-12-16)
Fluorinated nano-Silica particles are capable of coating silica and limestone substrates with an amphiphobic layer. A layer that repels both water and oil to some extent. The polymer formed with PFDS and TEOS is capable ...
Impact of Viscous Acid-in-Oil Emulsion Formation on Well Productivity Following Acid Stimulation
(2016-12-16)
Acid stimulation techniques matrix acidizing and acid fracturing are commonly applied in carbonate reservoirs. The goal of such techniques is to increase well productivity by enhancing permeability in the near wellbore ...
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 ...
Microseismic mapping of fluid induced hydraulic fractures and analysis of location uncertainties
(2011)
Microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fractures is done to yield spatial and temporal plots of hypocenters. There are rendered without any estimates of uncertainty leading the engineer to believe the hypocenter locations ...
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; ...
Nanoindentation studies on shales
(2013)
Shale resources promise a new era for energy independence of United States. The promise is intrinsically tied to our ability to economically hydraulic fracture the shale. These extremely tight formations are impossible to ...
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 ...
