An extension of Pedersen's viscosity model for saturated black oil systems
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents a modification of Pedersen's corresponding states compositional viscosity model for black oil systems when no compositional data are available. This new model provides better estimates for oil viscosity ...
Experimental studies of steam-propane injection to enhance recovery of an intermediate crude oil
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In the past few years, research has been conducted at Texas A&M University on steam-propane injection to enhance oil recovery from the Morichal field, Venezuela, which contains 13.5 ⁰API gravity oil. Experimental results ...
Performance improvement of Gas-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone separator using different design for tangential inlet
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The concept of compact separation is attractive in a number of operating environments. These include offshore and arctic operations, where both space and weight are at a premium, and downhole processing where space is ...
Subsea Mudlift Drilling: evaluation of the pressure differential problem with subsea pump
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The petroleum industry is trying to develop new and improved technology to safely, successfully and profitably extract hydrocarbons in deep water. One such technology under development is subsea mudlift drilling (SMD), a ...
Further experimental studies of steam-propane injection to enhance recovery of Morichal oil
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In 1998-1999, experimental research was conducted by Goite at Texas A&M University into steam-propane injection to enhance oil recovery from the Morichal field, Venezuela. Goite's results showed that, compared with steam ...
A petrophysics and reservoir performance-based reservoir characterization of Womack Hill (Upper Smackover) Field (Alabama)
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Womack Hill is one of the 57 Smackover fields throughout the Gulf Coast region. Since its discovery in 1970, Womack Hill Field has produced 30 million STB from the Upper Smackover sequence of carbonate reservoirs. Since ...
Flow of fracturing foams in vertical, horizontal and inclined pipes
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Foams are complex mixtures of a gas and a liquid, with the latter being the continuous phase. The rheological properties of foams are strongly influenced by parameters like temperature, absolute pressure, foam quality, ...
Design and history matching of a waterflood/miscible CO₂ flood model of a mature field: the Wellman Unit, West Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The Wellman Unit is located in Terry County, West Texas. It is a Wolfcamp massive limestone reef. The reservoir is considered geologically unique due to the double cone-shape structure with a maximum closure of 825 feet ...
