Ji, Qin (2017-07-11)AlCl₃ has been long used as a retarding agent for mud acid, its applications studied in the lab and tested in the field. The theory and mechanism of AlCl₃ retardation have been investigated in many projects involving mud ...
-
Zhang, Zhao (2015-05-13)The quality of the seismic data is essential to quantitative reservoir characterization of rock properties and geological structure interpretation. Although marine multi-component seismic data hold a wealth of information ...
-
Agim, Kelechi N (2014-12-18)Concerns about the substantial amounts of water and chemicals pumped into the subsurface during hydraulic fracturing are valid because long term effects of these stimulation actions are unknown at the present time. Although ...
-
Saneifar, Mehrnoosh (2015-05-13)Characterization of carbonate reservoirs is challenging as the result of heterogeneous distribution of petrophysical properties and mineralogy. Common rock classification techniques are strongly dependent on core measurements, ...
-
Aderibigbe, Aderonke Abiodun (2016-04-29)In hydraulic fracturing stimulation treatments for organic-rich mudrocks, some issues that pose challenges in pre-completions design include selection of intervals for stimulation treatment, and selection of proppants for ...
-
Chen, Zhuo (2015-08-07)Micronized ilmenite (FeTiO3) was reported as a weighting material in drilling fluids to avoid the disadvantages of barite and to reduce abrasion of wellbore completion. In this dissertation, coreflood tests were applied ...
-
Ulrich, Christopher A (2015-12-10)Carbonates may be incorporated in the mantle at collisional plate boundaries by many processes, including subduction of weathered oceanic lithosphere and fault-bounded tectonic slivers of seamounts. Once magnesite is formed ...
-
Cheng, Kai (2019-01-03)Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have been applied successfully for characterizing porosity, pore-size distribution, and permeability of conventional formations. Interpreting NMR measurements in reservoirs ...
-
Chen Valdes, Clotilde Raquel (2017-09-01)Reliable evaluation of rock mechanical properties in organic-rich mudrocks is challenging due to their heterogeneity, anisotropy, and complex lithology. It is important to assimilate variable elastic properties and ...
-
Yang, Anqi (2016-07-14)Kerogen presents challenges when performing well-log-based petrophysical evaluation in organic-rich mudrocks. Two such challenges are the electrical conductivity of thermally matured kerogen and the lack of reliable estimates ...
-
Palacios Serrano, Diego G (2014-12-15)Seismic inversion approach has been applied with a moderate success in some siliciclastic reservoirs in Oriente Basin characterized by their prominent lateral facies variations. Different types of facies with different ...
-
Vallabhaneni, Sridharan (2016-04-07)The Upper Cretaceous in Texas is a proven prolific hydrocarbon system. The “Eaglebine” in Central Texas, which includes both the Eagle Ford and Woodbine intervals, is an emerging play with promising results. However, ...
-
Bray, Steven Hunter (2013-05-02)Induction logging is a well-developed geophysical method with multiple applications. It has been used extensively in academic research as well as in industry. Induction logging is a controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) ...
-
Fagundes De Rezende, Marcelo (2015-06-18)Microbialite carbonate deposits are highly influenced by environmental settings, resulting in a large variety of depositional textures and fabrics. Pore systems in these deposits have a primary relation to the dominant ...
-
Huang, Qifei (2017-04-24)Geological deposition and diagenesis in carbonate rocks are strongly affected by sea level fluctuation, which can result in significant heterogeneity in pore types, elastic properties, and permeability. In this dissertation ...
-
Zhang, Xiaodong (2017-07-24)The Upper Cretaceous Buda Formation in central Texas is overlain by Eagle Ford group (or False Buda unit locally), and overlying the Del Rio Formation (Grayson Formation). The Buda Formation outcrop exposes from west Texas ...
-
Wehner, Matthew Paul (2017-12-13)Interest in applications of x-ray fluorescence (XRF) is greatly increasing, but the diversity of applications of XRF data has yet to be fully exploited. This dissertation presents three projects showcasing different ...
-
Schelstrate, Robert (2014-08-11)Sandstone facies are good reservoirs for the accumulation of hydrocarbons in conventional exploration due to high porosity and permeability. Grain size variations within a sandstone reservoir can range from pebbles to ...
