(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)In recent years much energy has been directed toward obtaining equations for predicting physical properties of subsurface formations from indirect measurements. One of the most important examples is in the use of the sonic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1968)Although the forward combustion oil recovery process has proved to be a successful method of obtaining oil production from predominantly heavy oil reservoirs, the process is not fully understood. The experimental data ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)This study investigated the post-buckling behavior of tubular goods in horizontal and directional wells and determined lateral contact force. As the magnitude of the contact force increases, a helically buckled pipe can ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Horizontal wells are more and more important because they offer solutions to the problem of producing oil and gas in resevoir where conventional technology may fail. Some examples are thin reservoirs, reservoirs with gas ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)A study has been made of the effects of numerical dispersion in reservoir simulation. A one-dimensional, two-phase (water-oil) numerical model has been used in this investigation. Instead of the regular single-point upstream ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A new sucker-rod simulator saves computer run time and provides sufficient accuracy for conceptual sucker-rod-system design. A new method expands the scope of the American Petroleum Institute's Recommended Practice (RP) ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)This work presents a new application of Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH), in-situ steam generation (ISSG). ISSG uses ERH to generate steam in-situ for steam flooding. The heat generated by ERH comes from the flow of low ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)Since the thermal recovery process of the intermittent steam injection was accidentally discovered in Venezuela in 1959, it has become one of the most promising producing methods for recovery of high viscosity petroleum. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1964)The purpose of this investigation was to obtain a correlation of the internal electrochemical corrosion occurring a producing oil well with other measurable electrical phenomena and to construct and evaluate insulated ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)Experimental work on the combustion-oil-recovery process has consisted of both laboratory and field studies. Although field experiments are the ultimate test of any oil-recovery process, they are costly, time consuming, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Modeling fluid flow around horizontal wellbores with conventional reservoir simulators is somewhat inefficient due to the fact that the radial flow patterns found in the vicinity of a horizontal wellbore must be simulated ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Recoverable oil reserves remain trapped in fractured reservoirs of dual porosity with very low permeability rock matrix blocks, 0.10 md or less, and a fracture system. Conventional secondarty methods cannot be applied to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)Results are presented of an investigation of the effect of oil production rate on solution gas drive performance of a thin, horizontal reservoir. Numerical model simulation of a producing reservoir included the effects of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)This study describes the development and application of a two dimensional numerical model capable of simulating condensing gas drives of undersaturated oil reservoirs. The mathematical formulation is done by the finite ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)Accurate predictions of volumetric behavior for reservoir fluids are necessary for many calculations in petroleum engineering. The methods presented here employ the concept of residual quantities for prediction of volumetric ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1997)Geostatistical techniques generate fine-scale reservoir description that integrates data from cores, logs, and seismic traces. However, predicting dynamic behavior of fluid flow through multiple fine-scale realizations has ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)The hydraulic fracturing of deviated and horizontal wells is a reasonably novel technology. The fracture initiation and propagation from these wells often involves multiple fracture initiation, starter fracture "cutting" ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)This dissertation presents the development of a coalbed methane reservoir description from the analysis of production and pressure transient data for a producing openhole cavity well and two observation wells completed in ...
