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 ...
Study On The Effects Of Tubular Restrictions On Liquid Lifting In Natural Gas Wells
(2023-12-15)
Liquid loading is a common issue in natural gas wells, resulting in the accumulation of liquids in the well due to the inability of the gas to carry them to the surface. Various methods have been proposed to identify and ...
Experimental Investigation of High Temperature Effect on Lost Circulation Materials for Geothermal Applications
(2021)
Sustainable energy generation is crucial to meet the energy demands in the 21st century while keeping the implications of future challenges at its core philosophy. A geothermal power generation plant is one of such avenues ...
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 ...
Experimental Investigation of Synthetic and Microbial Surfactants for Enhanced Oil Recovery in Bone Spring Sandstones
(2022-12-17)
Surfactants have been used to increase hydrocarbon recovery to meet the increasing demand for oil and gas. This mechanism of using surfactants reduces the Interfacial Tension (IFT) at the fluid/fluid interface and wettability ...
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 ...
Experimental investigation of polymer-based lost circulation materials for fluid loss treatment under high temperature using additive manufacturing
(2023-05-13)
Lost circulation continues to be one of the most troublesome problems encountered during drilling.
The financial cost of lost circulation in geothermal drilling can rise to 15% of the total drilling
cost. A corrective ...
