Studying “fitness for service” of the sealing assemblies and cement system
(2018-05)
Well integrity is a crucial phase of well design and construction, as such multiple barriers are usually installed in wells to prevent any migration of formation fluids. One of these barriers include the elastomeric sealing ...
INTEGRATED MODELING AND SIMULATION OF MULTI-STAGE HYDRAULIC FRACTURED WELLS IN THE WOODFORD SHALE
(2019-08-01)
The Late Devonian-Early Mississippian Woodford shale is known as the main source rock in the state of Oklahoma, and one of the most attractive unconventional plays in the U.S. Early Woodford’s exploration and development ...
Produced water demulsification using maghemite nanoparticles
(2020-12-18)
Produced water management has become an important topic among oil and gas operators due to recent environmental regulations. Produced water requires treatment for recycling or disposal to the environment. Different methods ...
A simulation and analytical study on the performance of gas-liquid centrifugal downhole separators
(2023-12-15)
A common issue in depleted oil and gas wells is the lack of energy to drive the fluids to the surface. Engineers use various artificial lift systems to solve this problem, most commonly by using pumps. Many pump types do ...
Experimental study of asphaltene accumulation in a sandstone core plug
(2021-08)
Hydrocarbon production leads to the disturbance of several thermodynamic equilibriums including the destabilization of crude oil. Asphaltenes precipitation, aggregation and deposition inside the hydrocarbon reservoirs ...
Comparative Study of Pore Structure Characterization for Different Rock Samples Using Digital Images
(2019-12)
Due to the scarcity in supply of energy and slumping production from conventional reservoirs, exportation from unconventional tight shale reservoirs has received considerable scholarly attention in recent years. However, ...
EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BRINE IN CRUDE OIL EMULSIONS AND ITS PERFORMANCE IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
(2018)
Understanding the behavior of water in oil emulsions can prevent flow assurance problems and the conditions at which these two fluids can mix. The stability and rheology of water in crude oil emulsions was studied for three ...
Petrophysical Inversion of Multifrequency Resistivity and Permittivity Logs and Laboratory Measurements
(2017-12)
In this thesis, we develop a unified inversion scheme that can be coupled to various type of relaxation models to process multi-frequency measurement of varied electromagnetic (EM) properties for purposes of improved ...
COALBED METHANE COMPREHENSIVE CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING – BIG GEORGE COAL, POWDER RIVER BASIN, WYOMING
(2019-05-10)
Over the past two decades, coalbed methane (CBM) has become one of the major unconventional gas resources in the US, Canada, Australia, and other countries. Despite substantial advances in CBM exploitation technologies, ...
Techno-optimization of CO2 transport networks with constrained pipeline parameters
(2023-05-13)
In planning large scale carbon sequestration projects, one of the key parameters affecting project economics is the selection of optimal pipeline transportation networks connecting physical locations of carbon sources to ...
