Inferring Interwell Connectivity by Statistical Diagnostic Tools and Signal Processing Methods
(2018-12-14)
Data mining has become increasingly crucial in deciphering reservoir dynamics. Operators currently acquire an enormous amount of data that are not effectively being used. These data contain valuable information about ...
Importance of Capillary Heterogeneity in Developing a Representative Reservoir Model for Shales with Complex Fractures
(2016-12-16)
Our advancement in hydraulic fracturing has enabled us to produce shale formations economically. The formation stimulation is successful when the effective transport properties of the formation is improved significantly, ...
Tortuosity of Tight Rocks
(2022-05)
Tortuosity is a rock property that controls transport processes in porous media. It is essential in advective, diffusive transport and flow of electric current, especially in tight rocks which are characterized by low ...
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 ...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF ROTATIONAL SPEED AND WEIGHT ON BIT ON DRILLSTRING VIBRATIONS, TORQUE AND RATE OF PENETRATION
(2017-05-12)
Experimental investigation was carried out on an automated drilling rig fabricated for the Drillbotics competition. The effects of rotational speed and weight on bit were observed on drillstring vibrations, torque and rate ...
Modeling Multicomponent Gas Flow in Liquids Rich Shales
(2016-05)
Production data acquired from liquids-rich shale reservoirs show a few very interesting trends:
1. A relatively constant gas-oil ratio (GOR) or condensate-gas ratio (CGR) although flowing bottomhole pressures may be below ...
Investigation on the Effect of Drillstring Stiffness on Downscaling Drillstring Vibrations
(2021-05-16)
Drillstring vibrations provide one of the most important challenges to drilling efficiency today. These vibrations can cause many issues such as decreased energy transfer from the to drive to the bit, fluctuating drilling ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PROPPANT TRANSPORT IN HORIZONTAL AND DIRECTIONAL WELLS
(2016)
Wellbore cleanouts represent the main application of the coiled tubing (CT) industry. A typical cleanout operation designed to remove solids from the wellbore using stationary circulation method involves tripping the CT ...
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 ...
Experimental Study of Proppant Pack Deformation
(2016)
Unconventional reservoirs, especially shales are drilled horizontally and hydraulically fractured for economical production. Proppant is carried and placed with the use of fracturing fluid to maintain fracture conductivity ...
