INTERPRETATION OF INTER-WELL CHEMICAL TRACER TEST
(2017)
For the first time, this thesis presents a new approach to characterize reservoir layering and cross flow between layers using Inter-Well Chemical Tracer Test (ICTT). ICTT is a well-known reliable test for reservoir ...
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 ...
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 ...
Measurement and analysis of oil-gas diffusion at reservoir conditions: application to huff-n-puff EOR in unconventional reservoirs
(2020)
Due to the extremely low permeability and high depletion rate, primary recovery from unconventional reservoirs is generally low. Huff-n-Puff has proved to be a successful EOR technique in tight formations, such as the Eagle ...
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 ...
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 ...
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; ...
RHEOLOGY OF AQUEOUS AND POLYMER-BASED NITROGEN FOAMS AT HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE (HPHT) CONDITIONS
(2017-05-12)
Foams are complex mixtures of gas and liquid held together by a surfactant at the gas-water interface. The use of foams find application in many industrial operations such as underbalanced drilling fluid, fracturing fluid ...
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 ...
Petrophysical rock typing in Uinta Basin using models powered by machine learning algorithms
(2023)
Petrophysical characterization is key to identifying different rock types for hydrocarbon production optimization. Rock-typing, a petrophysical characterization technique, can be performed using wireline measurements, such ...
