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, ...
USING MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATION TO STUDY BEHAVIOR OF HYDROCARBON FLUID
(2019-08)
The purpose of this thesis is to study hydrocarbon fluid behavior with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In the past two decades, MD simulation has been proved to be a reliable tool in the study of oil and natural gas ...
A DISLOCATION-BASED BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHOD TO MODEL PRESSURIZED FRACTURES
(2019)
A significant portion of hydrocarbon and geothermal resources in the world, and especially in the United States, is unconventional. Some of the unconventional resources have special geological structures so that their ...
ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDY OF SEVERAL UTILIZATION ALTERNATIVES FOR A STRANDED OFFSHORE GAS RESERVOIR
(2019-12-13)
Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) has been on the rise in recent years to meet growing energy demand, worldwide. As energy consumption and exploitation of onshore unconventional gas reservoirs continue to grow while ...
Evaluating Treatment Parameters Toward Optimizing Production From Gas Reservoirs Using Wettability Alteration
(2019)
Retrograde condensation in gas reservoirs results in a significant loss in well deliverability. A ring of condensate forms near the wellbore as a result of reservoir pressure falling below the dew point of the reservoir ...
Removal of Residual Oil From Produced Water Using Magnetic Nanoparticles
(2019-08)
The production of wastewater during hydrocarbon recovery is an unresolvable factor of the oil and gas industry. Oil wells in the US produce on average, nearly 10 barrels of water for every 1 barrel of oil. Most of the ...
MECHANISTIC MODEL OF COMPLEX CONDUCTIVITY OF POROUS MEDIA CONTAINING CONDUCTIVE PARTICLES OF VARYING WETTABILITY
(2019-08)
Electrically conductive particles, such as graphite and pyrite particles, and surface-charge-bearing nonconductive particles, such as sand and clay grains, are commonly present in subsurface geological formations. When a ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF EFFECT OF PROPPANT CONCENTRATION, TYPES, SIZES, ROCK MINERALOGY AND OVERBURDEN STRESS ON FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY
(2019-12-13)
Hydrocarbon production from unconventional reservoirs, particularly shales, requires massive hydraulic fractures to expose the large surface areas within the formation and provide a conduit to the wellbore. Proppants are ...
