Elkatatny, Salaheldin Mahmoud (2013-03-29)Filter cake characterization is very important in drilling and completion operations. Heterogeneity of the filter cake plays a key role in the design of chemical treatments needed to remove the filter cake. The objectives ...
-
Jiao, Yaguang (2009-05-15)The simulation of seafloor-steel catenary interaction and prediction of riser fatigue life required an accurate characterization of seafloor stiffness as well as realistic description of riser load-deflection (P-y) response. ...
-
Wilson, Joshua Kyle (2017-01-04)A new mathematical model is developed for the nonlinear-static, linearized-dynamic, and fully nonlinear-dynamic behavior of drillstrings in arbitrary wellbore profiles. The formulation is based on a three-dimensional ...
-
Noshi, Christine Ikram (2015-12-18)Matrix acidizing has been used in oil and gas well stimulation for permeability and productivity enhancement purposes. HCl has been repeatedly used as a stand-alone stimulating fluid to decrease skin damage, create highly ...
-
You, Jung Hwan (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Realistic predictions of service life of steel catenary risers (SCR) require an accurate characterization of seafloor stiffness in the region where the riser contacts the seafloor, the so-called touchdown zone. This thesis ...
-
Sarkar, Sankhadeep (2019-04-11)Flaring is a controlled combustion process in which unwanted or excess hydrocarbon gases are released to flare stack for disposal. Flaring has a significant impact on environment, energy and economy. Flare gas integration ...
-
Patel, Dhvanil Rameshbhai (2019-07-15)Iron sulfide scales of different forms exist in sour oil/gas-producing wells as well as seawater injection wells. Traditionally, they are dissolved using HCl and other inorganic acids. In the past decade, a tetrakis ...
-
Ozkale, Aslihan (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Predicting correct pore-pressure is important for drilling applications. Wellbore stability problems, kicks, or even blow-outs can be avoided with a good estimate of porepressure. Conventional pore-pressure estimation ...
-
Stape, Philip (2016-05-06)Adding solvents to steam flooding processes during bitumen production can reduce the water and natural gas usage but may create a new unique set of problems. Most solvents are toxic and are prohibited to be used on sites. ...
-
Arslan, Emre (2017-07-28)The oil industry has been utilizing different acid systems, both organic and inorganic, to stimulate sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Among these, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the most commonly used acid because it is ...
-
Ken-Worgu, Kenneth Chukwumeka (2011-10-21)The goal of this record of study is to examine the major facets involved in managing several petroleum service projects located in three different countries in the Gulf of Guinea simultaneously, while effectively engaging ...
-
Palaniappan, Visalatchi (2018-08-03)Pipelines are the most efficient mode of transportation for various chemicals and are considered as safe, yet pipeline incidents remain occurring. Corrosion is one of the main reasons for incidents especially in subsea ...
-
Chi, Chao-Ming (2010-10-12)This study presents the applications of plastic limit analysis to offshore foundations and anchors, including the drag embedment anchors (DEAs) for mobile offshore drilling units (MODU’s) and spudcan foundations for jack-up ...
-
Gao, Zhuo (2012-02-14)In the past ten years, there have been 194 hurricane-damaged platforms in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), each with many wells that have not been permanently abandonment. This could lead to disastrous environmental consequence. ...
-
Cunningham, Tyrell (2018-08-06)Drilling the highly interbedded Brushy Canyon in the Delaware Basin can force operators to use over three PDC bits to drill a 12.25” intermediate hole. A study was conducted in order to develop understanding of the mechanics ...
-
Ali, Maaz (2015-07-15)Management of produced water has always been an issue in the oil and gas industry. As the amount of water injected to produce from unconventional (heavy oil and source rock) resources increases, proper management and ...
-
Rabie, Ahmed 1978- (2012-11-16)Well stimulation is the treatment remedy when oil/gas productivity decreases to unacceptable economical limits. Well stimulation can be carried out through either "Matrix Acidizing" or fracturing with both "Hydraulic ...
-
Punase, Abhishek (2015-04-28)Matrix acidizing is widely-used in the petroleum industry as a production enhancement technique. In order to design a successful acidizing job, it is important that all aspects of the reaction between the treating acid and ...
-
Zhou, Jing (2019-02-27)Removing oil-based drilling fluid (OBDF) filter cake is a difficult task. Low removal efficiency of filter cake may result in pay zone damage, including drilling fluid filtrate incompatibilities with reservoir fluids, fines ...
-
Mahmoud, Mohamed Ahmed Nasr Eldin (2012-07-16)Matrix acidizing is used in carbonate formations to create wormholes that connect the formation to the wellbore. Hydrochloric acid, organic acids, or mixtures of these acids are typically used in matrix acidizing treatments ...
