(2017-07-21)Finite difference based reservoir simulation is commonly used to predict well rates in these reservoirs. Such detailed simulation requires an accurate knowledge of reservoir geology. Also, these reservoir simulations may ...
-
(2012-10-19)Reservoir characterization is one of the most important problems in petroleum engineering. It involves forward reservoir modeling that predicts the fluid behavior in the reservoir and inverse problem that calibrates created ...
-
(2021-12-06)This study demonstrates a comparison of a High-Resolution Gas Chromatography (HRGC) analysis of drilling cuttings and sidewall cores from the same oil well, with the purpose of determining how well the two sample types are ...
-
(2016-12-09)The premise of this work is the development, validation, and application of a methodology to forecast production data in unconventional reservoirs where variable rate and pressure drop producing conditions are typically ...
-
(2018-11-02)For reliable performance assessment of unconventional reservoirs, we need to model the complex hydraulic fracture network that interacts with pre-existing/ induced fractures and reservoir rock, as well as the underlying ...
-
(2019-04-18)A great amount of hydrocarbon pore volume in unconventional petroleum reservoirs is distributed in pores of very small sizes, ranging from a nanometer to 100 nm pores. In such a small pore size, fluid–rock interactions ...

(2017-05-08)This work develops a rigorous method for including confinement effects in fluid modeling. This method was implemented into phase modeling and compositional reservoir simulation to show the impacts of tight media on hydrocarbon ...
-
(2021-12-07)Unconventional oil and gas reservoirs have low recovery rates and to increase productivity, hydraulic fracturing is used. Hydraulic fracturing allows increased flow of oil and gas to the well. The extended production from ...
-
(2022-04-13)This study investigates how the structure of surfactant molecules interacts with the crude oil/rock/brine system characteristic of unconventional liquid reservoirs. In most cases, the interaction results in the improvement ...

Mechanistic Model Enhances Estimates of Solvent-Assisted Oil Recovery in Unconventional Reservoirs (2023-02-09)In this project we developed a simulator to forecast solvent-assisted enhanced oil recovery using miscible solvents in unconventional reservoirs. We modeled oil recovery using a huff-n-puff process in ultra-low permeability ...
-
(2020-04-16)A mechanistic reservoir simulation model is presented to study the time-rate relationships of flow in a multi-fractured horizontal well in unconventional reservoirs involving (a) a three-phase oil-gas-water system and (b) ...
-
(2017-07-07)The Ernst Member within Big Bend National Park (BBNP), Brewster County, Texas provides unique opportunities for high-resolution chronostratigraphic study of Eagle Ford-equivalent strata across west Texas and northeastern ...
-
(2017-12-15)This work presents the development of two new rate-time relations which are based on self-growth limiting time-cumulative relations. This self-limiting feature provides an inherent upper limit on ultimate reserves and ...
-
(2021-07-29)In multistage hydraulic fracturing treatments, the combination of extreme large-scale pumping (high rate and volume) and the high heterogeneity of the formation (because of large contact area) normally results in complex ...
-
(2017-07-21)Unconventional tight/shale reservoirs have become an important component of the world’s energy map in the recent decade and have been attracting a lot of interests in both academia and industry. However, the industry today ...
-
(2012-07-16)Today everyone seems to agree that ultra-low permeability and shale reservoirs have become the potentials to transform North America's oil and gas industry to a new phase. Unfortunately, transient flow is of long duration ...
