Le, Vy Nhat (2021-12-08)Halite (NaCl) scaling complicates oil and gas production from many reservoirs worldwide because of its facile and fast precipitation in well tubulars or near-wellbore areas. Current industry approaches to remove halite ...
-
Muhemmed Reyath, Sajjaat (2022-01-05)Limited studies have been conducted in understanding the mechanics of pre-flush stages in sandstone acidizing processes. Amongst those conducted in this area, all efforts have been directed toward singular aqueous-phase ...
-
Ortega, Alexis (2015-03-25)Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the most commonly used stimulation fluid for high-temperature wells drilled in carbonate reservoirs due to its high dissolving power and low cost. However, the high corrosion rate of HCl on well ...
-
Verma, Ankit (2010-07-14)Diesel engines operating the rig pose the problems of low efficiency and large amount of emissions. In addition the rig power requirements vary a lot with time and ongoing operation. Therefore it is in the best interest ...
-
Sun, Shangbin (2017-04-03)Oil and gas production, industrial manufacturing, mining, and agriculture all produce significant amounts of wastewater, often containing harmful heavy metal ions such as cadmium, lead, and arsenic. Radioactive disasters ...
-
Beemer, Ryan (2011-08-08)The need for experimental and analytical modeling in the field of deep water offshore anchoring technologies is high. Suction caisson and drag embedment anchors (DEA) are common anchors used for mooring structures in deep ...
-
Olatubi, Oluwaseun Alfred (2010-10-12)Produced water and spent drilling fluids from petroleum operations represent a significant expense to companies developing new energy reserves. These spent fluids, seldom recycled, offer a viable source of water resources ...
-
Bourne, Dwayne (2010-01-14)The modern oil and gas industry of America has seen most of the high quality, easily obtainable resources, already produced, thus causing wells to be drilled deeper in search for unconventional resources. This means Oil ...
-
Varela Gonzalez, Patricia Ysolda (2013-04-03)The objective of this work is to develop a Bayesian Network (BN) model to produce environmental risk maps for oil and gas site developments and to demonstrate the model’s scalability from a point to a collection of points. ...
-
Kumar, Harish T (2021-08-18)Success rates of carbonate acidizing when upscaling from single, aqueous-phase laboratory analyses to field-scale levels have been poor. Analyzing matrix acidizing performances in carbonate reservoirs with two-phase ...
-
Su, Jianping (2016-07-08)With the development of the oil and gas industry, people started to drill deeper wells to get oil and gas. New weighting materials have been developed to help solve the problem caused by the most commonly used barite. ...
-
Golshahi, Nikoo (2020-05-14)Asphaltenes precipitation during carbon dioxide injection to enhance recovery has been considered as one of the major challenges in the tertiary production phase. How CO2 would change the asphaltenes structure is still ...
-
Underwood, Austin Miles (2016-07-15)Low-cost engineering design and operational practices are presented that prevent significant enlargement in shallow, unconsolidated sands while drilling. The methodology includes a combination of fluid design, geomechanical ...
-
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 ...
-
Rahnema, Hamid (2012-11-21)Combustion assisted gravity drainage (CAGD) is an integrated horizontal well air injection process for recovery and upgrading of heavy oil and bitumen from tar sands. Short-distance air injection and direct mobilized oil ...
-
Azimov, Anar Etibar (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)In assessing the economic viability of a waterflood project, a key parameter is the remaining oil saturation (ROS) within each pattern unit. This information helps in identifying the areas with the highest ROS and thus ...
-
Ustun, Serafettin (2012-10-19)Annular seals are devices, which are used in turboMachinery systems to reduce the flow leakage, and to provide better dynamic stability to the system. Leakage flow can strongly affect cooling quality, heating balance, and ...
-
Sadeghi, Simin (2019-05-29)Completion optimization is a process of identifying completion parameters (e.g., lateral length, number of entry points and sand intensity) that maximize economics. Completion optimization is difficult to accomplish due ...
-
Aldhayee, Khaled N SH A (2019-07-10)Closed-fracture acidizing (CFA) is a well stimulation technique that can be applied to stimulate carbonate reservoirs at the end of acid fracturing treatment to enhance the connectivity between the acid-fracture and the ...
-
Alhukail, Ibrahim 1970- (2012-06-22)We are presenting a new way of improving seismic-array responses. By analyzing the relationship between the covariance matrix forms from the real sensors of seismic arrays and the fourth-order crosscumulants from the same ...
