Chen, Zihao (2020-11-20)The simulation of an integrated reservoir-production system is often suggested or even required to develop offshore oil fields. The pressure drop in the production system is a significant factor to consider in well placement ...
-
Pradhan, Yogashri Umesh (2020-12-01)Operators have different production strategies based on maintaining their fracture networks to the reservoir and sand control after flowback. Aggressive production strategies in some liquids-rich producing shale reservoirs ...

Nunn, Andrew Howard (2012-02-14)The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of replacing diesel with natural gas as a fuel source for modern drilling rigs. More specifically, this thesis (1) establishes a control baseline by examining ...
-
Zhang, Yuze (2016-06-03)As the demand on energy increases rapidly, exploration and production in deep water and facilities in shallow water are in imperative need. Suction caissons are most commonly used as anchoring system for offshore floating ...
-
Herrera Camara, Jorge Ivan (2017-05-10)Flowcharts play an important role when learning to program by conveying algorithms graphically and making them easy to read and understand. When learning how to code with flowcharts and transitioning between the two, people ...
-
Patel, Harsh Jay (2014-04-11)The United States regularly imports majority of the transportation oil, and several TCF of natural gas annually. Nevertheless, there is very large resource of natural gas in unconventional reservoirs, with over 2,200 TCF ...
-
Riyaj Ahamed, Shafeeq I (2015-10-06)Haptic devices are devices that emulate the sense of touch through a force feedback mechanism that enables users to physically interact with virtual objects. This supplementary element of interaction allows users to ...
-
Park, Jaeyoung (2016-07-13)We employ the semi-analytical approach in modeling of coupled flow and geomechanics, where flow is solved numerically and geomechanics is solved analytically. We first model a PKN hydraulic fracture geometry numerically ...
-
Payne, Ryan Matthew (2017-11-16)Observations have shown that minor changes in the stress state of faults can be significant enough to induce seismic slip. One source of these minor stress changes is from naturally occurring earthquakes located several ...
-
Park, Siman (2019-04-05)The Eagle Ford Shale is one of the largest unconventional oil plays where a large number of horizontal wells with hydraulic fractures have been developed in recent years. Due to its very low permeability, operators complete ...
-
Ashraf, Adnan (2018-07-24)Suction caisson anchors have been proven as efficient and cost-effective foundations for offshore wind turbines. These anchors are subjected to lateral loads which are typical of offshore environment. Many efforts have ...
-
Mertens, Karl Phillip (2015-03-25)Insulating glass (IG) is comprised of two plates of glass that lie close to one another without touching. The plates are separated by a sealed gas space that consists of a spacer material that surrounds the perimeter of ...
-
Colli-Menchi, Adrian Israel (2015-01-12)The consumer’s demand for state-of-the-art multimedia devices such as smart phones and tablet computers has forced manufacturers to provide more system features to compete for a larger portion of the market share. The added ...
-
Kulkarni, Mandar (2012-07-16)Proppants are a specific application of granular materials used in oil/gas well stimulation. Employment of hard and soft particle mixtures is one of the many approaches availed by the industry to improve fracture resistance ...
-
Bryan, Eric Wayne (2020-04-20)The primary objective of this work is to provide the validation and ranking of numerous decline curve analysis models. From the validation cases analyzed in this research best practice guidelines for each of the decline ...
