(2020-04-13)In a world where energy demands are increasing and resources are depleting, gaining better insights into fluid saturation distributions and transport mechanisms within hydrocarbon reservoirs at the pore scale will be ...
-
(2013-09-25)The porosity in rock can be quantified and characterized using a variety of direct methods including imbibition methods, mercury injection, gas expansion, petrography, X-ray tomography, and image analysis. However many of ...
-
(2015-05-13)Characterization of carbonate reservoirs is challenging as the result of heterogeneous distribution of petrophysical properties and mineralogy. Common rock classification techniques are strongly dependent on core measurements, ...
-
(2019-07-24)Carbonate rocks are a significant component of future petroleum endeavors, but due to complex pore geometries display a lower average recovery factor in comparison to sandstone reservoirs. To recover residual oil and gas ...
-
(2019-05-21)Reactive nature of steam and clay minerals may lead to formation damage and flow assurance issues. This dissertation presents experimental investigation of oil recovery and changes in petrophysical properties as a function ...
-
(2021-07-27)For many years, high water-cuts in the Delaware basin have been the source of much frustration for oil and gas operators producing in the region. The goal of this thesis was to construct automated workflows which are capable ...
-
(2016-12-09)Carbonate rocks have complex heterogeneities that result from syn- and post-depositional stressors. These heterogeneities invariably affect the movement of fluid through the formation. When considering an acid treatment ...

(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The objective of this research is to develop and test a new concept for predicting permeability from routine rock properties. First, we develop a model predicting permeability as a function of capillary pressure. Our model, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)This work presents the validation and enhancement of existing correlations for estimating and predicting the permeability in low permeability gas sands. The "original" problem of predicting the corrected or "liquid equivalent" ...
