(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The complex interrelations among the different physical processes involved in acid fracturing make it difficult to design, and later, to predict the outcome of stimulation jobs. Actual tendencies require the use of ...
-
(2018-07-30)Slotted liners are widely used in horizontal wells because of the abilities to ensure wellbore integrity and sand control. During installation and operations, the slotted liners have to be strong enough to hold axial loads ...
-
(2012-07-16)Problems involving coupled thermo-poro-chemo-mechanical processes are of great importance in geothermal and petroleum reservoir systems. In particular, economic power production from enhanced geothermal systems, effective ...
-
(2017-07-27)According to the 2017 outlook on energy conducted by the EIA, the production of natural gas from shale reservoirs is expected to increase by 2040. This increase is dependent on multiple factors like technology, resources, ...
-
(2021-06-21)Reaction kinetics between different rock and acid systems have been studied using the rotating disk apparatus (RDA). However, simplifying assumptions have been made to develop the current equations used to interpret RDA ...
-
(2022-03-02)Utilizing fluids in oil and gas drilling operations is unavoidable. Chemical properties of the fluid are critical, as they directly affect drilling performance and most importantly, formation damage in production zones. ...
-
(2021-12-08)Halite (NaCl) scaling complicates oil and gas production from many reservoirs worldwide because of its facile and fast precipitation in well tubulars or near-wellbore areas. Current industry approaches to remove halite ...
-
(2021-07-12)Acidizing is a common technique used in completing wells in carbonate reservoirs to reduce skin factor. Generally, HCl is pumped into the formation where it will react with calcite and dolomite in the carbonate rock. The ...
-
(2019-04-12)Onshore Oil and Gas production in the United States today primarily consists of exploiting unconventional shale reservoirs. Due to the low permeability of this type of formation, a stimulation method is required. A very ...
-
(2023-04-13)The promise of deep learning is to discover rich hierarchical structure of the data that allows to circumvent manual feature extraction and engineering. In this study, we explore novel applications of the deep learning, ...
-
(2022-01-07)Today the majority of onshore United States oil production comes from unconventional reservoirs that have very low permeability and porosity, such as the Austin Chalk formation, and require stimulation methods to produce ...
-
(2019-11-25)The interactions between hydraulic fracturing fluid at lower temperature and salinity with the formation a cause non-uniform stress field. The formation experiences heat transfer to the fracture and local change in ...
-
(2010-10-12)Shale gas reservoirs have become a major source of energy in recent years. Developments in hydraulic fracturing technology have made these reservoirs more accessible and productive. Apart from other dissimilarities from ...
-
(2014-10-31)Several conceptual models for unconventional reservoirs have been proposed in recent years based on extensions of well-studied analytical/semi-analytical models for conventional reservoirs. The standard semi-analytical ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2012-07-16)Diversion in carbonates is more difficult than in sandstones because of the ability of acid to significantly increase the permeability in carbonates as it reacts in the pore spaces and flow channels of matrix. In-situ ...
-
(2013-11-15)Acid fracturing is a well stimulation strategy designed to increase the productivity of a producing well. The parameters of acid fracturing and the effects of acid interaction on specific rock samples can be studied ...
-
(2015-12-14)Acid fracturing is a widely used stimulation technique for carbonate reservoirs, and more efficient both technically and economically compared with propped fracturing. However, the performance of acid fracturing is hard ...
-
(2016-05-26)Due to the extensive technically recoverable shale natural gas resources and an increase in production from shale plays over the last 10 years, it is essential to focus on stimulation techniques to enhance productivity in ...
-
(2015-03-03)Acid fracturing is a stimulation technique that is commonly used by the industry to increase productivity or injectivity of wells in carbonate reservoirs. To determine a feasibility of acid fracturing treatment for a ...
