Pummarapanthu, Thanakrich (2016-07-15)Matrix acidizing is a well stimulation technique in which an acid solution is injected into the formation to dissolve some of the minerals to recover or increase the permeability in the near-wellbore region. The most common ...
-
Martinez Antunez, Erick Rafael (2016-08-24)Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR) represent an important fraction of oil reserves in the world.In many of the NFR, significant volumes of oil have been or are expected to be recovered from the matrix due to the presence ...
-
Bilgi, Celal (2015-06-05)The ability to recover a seismic image of subsurface structure from recorded seismic data plays an important role in exploration of seismology applications. Processing techniques are applied to recover the geology from ...
-
Salles da Costa Coelho, Raphael (2016-04-26)Solvent-steam-flooding (SSF) processes have several advantages over steamflooding for bitumen extraction. It is well known that the addition of solvent increases oil production and mitigates environmental impacts due to ...
-
Geiger, Robert Paul (2017-05-15)A non-equilibrium plasma can be generated in a liquid when the energy density is controlled. The process of initiating a plasma starting with a liquid phase can be initiated by applying a sufficiently large electric potential ...
-
Stape, Philip (2016-05-06)Adding solvents to steam flooding processes during bitumen production can reduce the water and natural gas usage but may create a new unique set of problems. Most solvents are toxic and are prohibited to be used on sites. ...
-
Prakoso, Andreas Adi (2016-05-02)This work proposes the study on physicochemical characterization of crude oils and their asphaltenes to understand the destabilization mechanism of asphaltenes. Knowledge on the molecular-scale interactions between components ...
-
Abdulsattar, Zaid R (2015-04-27)Water-based fracturing fluids contain polymers to function either as fluid viscosifiers or friction-reduction agents. Whereas much work has been done on optimizing these functions, little or no published work focuses on ...
-
Guo, Jingyi (2018-11-20)Alteration of depositional environment and diagenesis of carbonate rocks create various pore structures that cause strong heterogeneity in permeability. In this research, the petrophysical and elastic characteristics of ...
-
Ali, Maaz (2015-07-15)Management of produced water has always been an issue in the oil and gas industry. As the amount of water injected to produce from unconventional (heavy oil and source rock) resources increases, proper management and ...
-
Reaction Kinetics Study of In-Situ Combustion: Integration of Experimental & Analytical Approaches Ismail, Norasyikin Bte (2019-11-11)In-situ combustion (ISC) is a very promising thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method to recover heavy oils and bitumen as it has a high recovery rate and is applicable to use at a varied range of reservoirs. However, ...
-
Mukhametshina, Albina (2013-11-08)Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is a proven enhanced oil recovery technique for oil sand extraction. However, the environmental and economic challenges associated with excessive greenhouse gas emissions due to the ...
-
Morte, Matthew K (2016-10-24)Due to the nature of bitumen and the inability to flow at reservoir conditions, it becomes necessary to alter the original state by imparting heat into the reservoir, thus lowering the viscosity to produce the fluid. The ...
-
Unal, Candan (2016-04-26)Steam assisted gravity-drainage (SAGD) is a method to produce bitumen or extra-heavy oil by injecting steam into the reservoir. The steam lowers the viscosity and the mixture of oil and water are then able to flow through ...
-
Damarla, Harika Rao (2016-12-02)Use of electron beam irradiation could effectively transfer energy to crude oil, resulting in improved cracking and reduction of operating temperatures. The overall objective is to crack heavy oil and make it less viscous ...
-
Zhang, Lifu (2020-11-24)Hydraulic Fracturing (HF) is an effective technique for hydrocarbon extraction from low-permeability shale reservoirs. It involves injecting a mixture of pressurized water, sand, and small amounts of chemicals into wells ...
-
Morte, Matthew Kyle (2020-01-02)The potential of microwave technology in the context of enhanced oil recovery is a concept whose technical feasibility has been expounded by numerous pilot tests. However, poor penetration depth and limited understanding ...
-
Unal, Yasin (2014-08-20)Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is an in-situ bitumen extraction technique that significantly increases ultimate oil recovery from oil sand reservoirs. Because SAGD is one of the newest proven thermal oil recovery ...
