Kar, Taniya (2015-08-05)The presence of complex water-in-oil emulsions is a growing concern in heavy oil recovery due to the complexity and expenses involved in separating the water from the produced oil. Hence, it is of paramount importance to ...
-
Afra, Salar (2016-11-30)Increasing global demand for oil, coupled with high depletion rates of conventional oil resources, make the exploitation and production of unconventional oil resources necessary. Heavy and extra-heavy oil have been ...
-
Hussey, Tyler Franklin (2017-04-28)Accumulating seismicity and groundwater contamination concerns are fueling increased regulations that can significantly burden an exploration and production (E&P) company’s water management budget – especially in a low-cost ...
-
Miller, Noah Mitchell (2017-11-03)The Marcellus Shale is the single largest U.S. natural gas resource, both currently and for the foreseeable future. Whereas the Northeast Pennsylvania Marcellus Dry Gas Window produces a significant portion of total Marcellus ...
-
Ibrahim, Ahmed Mohamed Farid (2017-10-26)Unconventional reservoirs are getting an increase in attention in the oil and gas industry. This is because of the high energy demands from all over the world, which cannot be satisfied by conventional resources alone. ...
-
Phi, Tuan Thanh (2016-08-01)The purpose of this work is to perform an improved method to optimize different CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes in unconventional liquid reservoirs, particularly in the volatile oil region of the Eagle Ford shale. ...
-
Ng, Jun Hong Clarence (2017-07-13)In the oil and gas industry, corrosion damage during treatments often occurs due to the use of corrosive treatment fluids and can result in problems such as tubular or equipment failure, and leaking. These problems can ...
-
Unal, Ahmet (2018-03-09)The use of clumped isotope analysis in calcite is a rapidly developing and powerful technique for paleothermometry studies in tectonics and environmental sciences. For analysis of isotopes in deformed rocks, there is ...
-
Aleksandrov, Denis (2013-05-31)In-Situ Combustion (ISC) is a very complex thermal recovery process that is strongly affected by the chemical composition and physical properties of reservoir rock and fluids. Stability of the process depends on the amount ...
-
Kar, Taniya (2017-08-07)Hydrocarbon solvents are known to improve the overall oil recovery from oil sands when co-injected with steam, compared to steam injection alone in thermal enhanced oil recovery. However, the quality of the recovered oil ...
-
Almobarky, Mohammed Abdullah M. (2017-12-06)This experimental research investigates the opportunity to enhance the oil recovery by enhancing the foam stability by the use of surfactants mixtures in comparison with individual surfactants. The mixtures were prepared ...
-
Alrashidi, Hessah Gh S A M (2018-02-09)Asphaltene precipitation, flocculation, and deposition are vital problems that may cause serious damage to reservoirs, wells, and production facilities. Asphaltene precipitation may occur during primary depletion or acidizing ...
-
Kudryavtsev, Philipp (2013-10-08)In-situ combustion (ISC), also known as fire flooding, is not a new thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique. It is a potential alternative for heavy oil production when other thermal EOR methods are not adequate in ...
-
Feasibility Of Environmentally Friendly Solvent in Bitumen Recovery Through Solvent-Steam Processes Ng, Alwin Zhen Yang (2018-06-28)Steam flooding is the most widely used and reliable thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process to recover bitumen. However, the excessive water required to generate steam causes environmental concerns. Thus, a noble idea ...
-
Banerjee, Sudiptya (2016-12-09)The volume of heavy oil/bitumen recoverable worldwide is vast in quantity but difficult and energy intensive to extract due to the high in-situ oil viscosity of these unconventional plays. One method of thermal recovery, ...
-
Alshaikh, Murtdha Ali I (2020-01-13)Surfactant injection as additives to steam injection is a concept that has great potential to enhance oil recovery efficiency of heavy oil and bitumen. Steam injection enhances oil recovery by introducing heat to the ...
-
Mahmoud, Omar Saad Ahmed (2017-11-28)The capabilities of different types of nanoparticles (NPs) had been exploited to develop a water-based drilling fluid having better characteristics for harsh drilling conditions. More specifically, the objectives of this ...
-
Alramadhan, Aymen Abduljalil (2013-08-19)In order to understand the complex fracture network that controls water movement in Sherrod Area of Spraberry Field in West Texas and to better manage the on-going waterflood performance, a field scale inter-well tracer ...
-
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 ...
