Zhang, Yannan (2013-12-06)The technology of multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells made the development of shale gas reservoirs become greatly successful during the past decades. A large amount of fracturing fluid, usually from 53,000 bbls to ...
-
Cuvelier, Marie-Hermine (2012-07-16)Minimization of HLW inventories and U consumption are key elements guaranteeing nuclear energy expansion. The integration of complex nuclear systems into a viable cycle yet constitutes a challenging multi-parametric ...
-
Ye, Ziwenjue (2016-05-05)After closure analysis (ACA) of a fracture calibration test designed to provide closure pressure and the fracturing fluid leak-off coefficient can provide estimates for formation permeability and pressure if radial flow ...
-
Fernandez Martinez, Ruth Gabriela (2012-07-16)In gas-condensate reservoirs, production rate starts to decrease when retrograde condensation occurs. As the bottomhole pressure drops below the dewpoint, gascondensate and water buildup impede flow of gas to the surface. ...
-
Anchliya, Abhishek (2010-07-14)Storage of carbon dioxide is being actively considered for the reduction of green house gases. To make an impact on the environment CO2 should be put away on the scale of gigatonnes per annum. The storage capacity of deep ...

Wallace, Elizabeth Michelle (2014-10-16)From September 2011 to July 2013 the percentage of flared associated gas produced in the Bakken shale formation decreased from 36% to 29%. Although the percentage decreased, the volume of associated gas produced has almost ...
-
Liu, Guoqing (2015-08-11)Since injection falloff fracture calibration test is generally accepted as a reliable way to obtain several key formation parameters, it is one of the essential parts of hydraulic fracturing design. While several abnormal ...
-
Hazra, Kaushik Gaurav (2014-04-29)Oil shales are lamellar, non-porous, impermeable hydrocarbon bearing rocks that contain organic matter called kerogen which, when heated at pyrolysis temperature of approximately 600-800 ℉, thermo-chemically decomposes to ...
-
Tang, Jizhou (2018-07-30)Unconventional shale reservoirs have been the most recent production frontier in the United States. Optimization of the production of shale reservoirs depends greatly on hydraulic fracture treatment. In recent studies, ...
-
Sui, Weibo (2010-10-12)The Multilayer Transient Test is a well-testing technique designed to determine formation properties in multiple layers, and it has been proved effective during the past two decades. To apply the Multilayer Transient Test, ...

Developing a tight gas sand advisor for completion and stimulation in tight gas reservoirs worldwide Bogatchev, Kirill Y. (2009-05-15)As the demand for energy worldwide increases, the oil and gas industry will need to increase recovery from unconventional gas reservoirs (UGR). UGRs include Tight Gas Sand (TGS), coalbed methane and gas shales. To economically ...

Azcarate Lara, Francisco Javier (2009-05-15)Continual increase in transport demand and uneven road capacity results in chaotic traffic congestion, brings with it high levels of air pollution, an elevated number of accidents, and an insatiable demand for oil to satisfy ...
-
Dynamic Reservoir Characterization Using Complex Grids Based on Streamline and Fast Marching Methods Zhang, Yanbin (2013-06-27)Dynamic reservoir characterization of large three dimensional earth models has become an increasingly important topic in recent years. Conventional finite difference reservoir simulation may not always be the optimal choice ...
-
Ayeni, Kolawole Babajide (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)In many cases, it is important to predict water production performance of oil wells early in, or maybe before, their production life. In as much as oil field water is important for pressure maintenance purposes and ...
-
Lee, Jaehun (2010-01-14)Acid fracturing stimulation is one of the preferred methods to improve well productivity in carbonate reservoirs. Acid is injected into the fractured zone after a starter fracture is created in the near wellbore area by ...
-
Thoram, Srikanth (2011-10-21)Multistage hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells continues to be a major technological tool in the oil and gas industry. Creation of multiple transverse fractures in shale gas has enabled production from very low ...
-
Yin, Jichao (2012-02-14)Modern reservoir management typically involves simulations of geological models to predict future recovery estimates, providing the economic assessment of different field development strategies. Integrating reservoir data ...
-
Zhang, Zheng (2014-09-04)A typical lifecycle of an oil and gas field is characterized by three stages: primary recovery by natural depletion, secondary recovery by fluid injection, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The primary goal of reservoir ...
