The analysis and interpretation of water-oil-ratio performance in petroleum reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Our goal in this work is to develop and validate a multivariate relation for the behavior of the water-oil-ratio (WOR) and/or water cut (f[]) functions, where this relation would incorporate the reservoir and fluid properties ...
Analysis of the dynamics of saturation and pressure close to the wellbore for condensate reservoirs as a tool to optimize liquid production
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Gas condensate reservoirs often exhibit a rapid decline in production with depletion. During early production, liquid dropout accumulates in the near wellbore area and this liquid dropout reduces the effective permeability ...
Development of a neural network model for the prediction of liquid holdup in two-phase horizontal flow
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Accurate prediction of liquid holdup associated with multiphase flow is a critical element in the design and operation of modern production systems. This prediction is complicated by the complexity in the distribution of ...
Evaluation of polymer free drill-in fluids for use in high productivity, horizontal well completions
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Advancements in deepwater drilling have necessitated the use of more specialized reservoir drill-in fluids (RDIF). These RDIFs must exhibit unique rheological properties while minimizing formation damage. Xanthan gum ...
Effects of flow paths on tight gas well performance
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis is a collection of models, solutions and analysis equations or type curves useful in analyzing the production behavior of tight gas wells. Variety of flow solutions is adapted to yield pressure response for ...
Semi-analytical solutions for multilayer reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This work provides the development, validation, and application of new approximate (semi-analytical) solutions for the wellbore pressure and fractional flowrate responses of commingled layered reservoirs - without interlayer ...
Toolkit and drillstring valve for subsea mudlift drilling
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
With the depleting reservoirs on land and increasing demand for hydrocarbons, the exploration for reservoirs has been moving to deeper and deeper water. The current technology has reached its limit in water depth, and new ...
Development and application of a transient well index
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In integrated reservoir studies flow simulation models are created with the goal of honoring diverse static and dynamic data types. If well test data are available, an integrated model should aim to honor these data. ...
A new p/z technique for the analysis of abnormally pressured gas reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Drip tubing as a means of applying domestic wastewater to soil is increasing in use, especially in clayey soils that are unsuitable for traditional disposal systems. Experiments were undertaken to evaluate operational ...
Alpine field, Alaska: openhole completion and wellbore cleanup methods in an Artic environment
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study compares the practices used to drill and complete three horizontal, openhole wells in the Alpine field on the north slope of Alaska. This study is a continuation of the work performed in conjunction with CEA-73. ...
