(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The differential equation describing flow of real fluids through porous media is, in general, nonlinear. For gases, the nonlinearity is particularly strong. In order to obtain analytical solutions to the flow equation for ...
-
(2017-05-09)This study incorporates material balance, complex fluid behavior, reservoir characteristics, and well operating conditions into a mechanistic model to forecast production from gas-condensate reservoirs. The model can ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)In this dissertation an improved method for the measurement of capillary pressure and relative permeability is presented. The new technique is a modification of the restored-state capillary pressure experiment. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)In this investigation the effects of sand grain size, injection rate, and type of gas injected upon the recovery of the intermediate (C₂-C₆) hydrocarbons by high pressure gas injection were studied by making a series ...
-
(2009-05-15)This dissertation solves an optimization problem in the area of scheduling large-scale petroleum development projects under several resources constraints. The dissertation focuses on the application of a metaheuristic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)This research was performed to find the effect of non-Darcy flow of gas in fractures on reducing well productivity. The concept of Wright utilizing four flow regimes to describe flow in porous media was applied in this ...
-
(2011-10-21)In geothermal reservoirs and unconventional gas reservoirs with very low matrix permeability, fractures are the main routes of fluid flow and heat transport, so the fracture permeability change is important. In fact, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)This study describes the development and application of a two-dimensional numerical model capable of simulating a gas injection project for upstructure oil drainage. The partial differential equations are approximated by ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)A two dimensional two phase (water-oil) numerical model has been used to investigate the accuracy of present engineering methods for predicting the waterflood performance of stratified reservoirs. The model includes the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)The procedure for predicting pressure drops in vertical pipes for oil/gas field work has been handled to date by empirical and experimental correlations applied to a steady-state energy equation often called the Pressure ...

-
(2021-07-13)A numerical model is developed for predicting perforation cavity evolution during the early stage of sand production. The objective of this thesis is to propose a new sand-rate-prediction model based on coupling fluid and ...
-
(2014-12-08)Naturally-occurring hydrates are promising resources. The potential value of gas accumulation in naturally-occurring gas hydrates can exceed 16 equivalent trillion tons of oil. There are many accurate findings on properties ...
-
(2015-04-27)Water-based fracturing fluids contain polymers to function either as fluid viscosifiers or friction-reduction agents. Whereas much work has been done on optimizing these functions, little or no published work focuses on ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)It is well known that use of very coarse grid patterns in numerical models can lead to large errors in simulated performance. There is very little quantitative information on the relationship between grid spacing and errors. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)This research was performed to study the effect of sodium hydroxide solution on the sandstone core samples and to develop a method whereby the permeability of the samples could be increased by the injection of sodium ...
