(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The analysis and interpretation of well test data usually depends on the assumptions of a constant reservoir flowrate and single phase flow in the reservoir. These assumptions are usually not valid for field data. This ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Analytical modeling of heterogeneous reservoir systems is an important aspect of reservoir engineering and formation evaluation. Numerous analytical models have been presented in recent years to describe pressure and rate ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A comprehensive study of buckling behavior of pipes in directional and horizontal wells has been conducted. The study includes a new theoretical analysis on sinusoidal buckling of pipes, a modified theoretical analysis on ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The excessive channeling of injected water in waterflooding a low-permeability, naturally-fractured reservoir causes poor sweep efficiency. Imbibition carbonated waterflood may improve the waterflood oil recovery by enhancing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1964)This investigation was conducted to obtain a correlation of the bubble-point pressure of a reservoir fluid with its composition and temperature. It is part of an overall program to develop correlations for the essential ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Isochronal testing of gas wells suggests that high velocity flow in wells containing hydraulic fractures results in an additional pressure drop down the fracture that is flow rate dependent. In addition, wellhead pressures ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The usual objective of well logging is to determine the physical properties of underground formations and the nature of the fluids contained within the pore space. Porosity and fluid saturations are needed to estimate ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)Previous work has indicated that is very difficult to obtain consistent and reproducible test data on drilling fluids of identical composition mixed in similar equipment. The present work is an attempt to determine the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Using current technology an engineer can accurately evaluate the various layers within a petroleum reservoir and can compute the mechanical and fluid properties of the layers. To use these parameters, three-dimensional ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Two methods have been developed for evaluating formation permeability using log data. One method is an integrated simulation technique that can be used to analyze time-lapse logging measurements. The second method involves ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)The demand for crude oil will more than triple in the next thirty years. One way in which additional oil may be obtained is by an increase in the efficiency of displeasing oil from reservoir rock. At the present time the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1998)The petroleum industry is contemplating drilling in water depths of 10,000 ft and possibly 13,000 ft at the turn of the century in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and West Africa. The current offshore technology for deepwater ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)A kick is defined as an unscheduled flow of formation fluids into a wellbore. Four well control simulation models have been developed in this research to study the behavior of kicks during well control operations. A ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)Within the last few years the injection of hot fluids into an oil reservoir has become an important oil recovery process. Two definitive studies[superscript 1,8] have been published in the literature providing information ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)In these times of growing world wide energy needs and declining new oil discoveries, new and improved recovery methods are needed to recover much of the known oil reserves left behind by conventional recovery methods. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)Thirty-nine experimental determinations of oil recovery in water wet systems by waterflooding were made using eight different cores and five different oils. The properties of the rocks and fluids were determined and the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)The Upper Bahariyia reservoirs are wide-spread through the Western Desert of Egypt and have significant original oil in-place. Although these reservoirs have been penetrated with numerous wellbores (for developing deeper ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Permeability variations, viscous fingering, and the resultant early breakthrough of injected fluids and the control of water production are common problems in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and/or production operations. These ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1968)Some of the field pilot studies made to date have indicated that forward combustion proceeds in a segregated manner in oil reservoirs and that surfaces at which combustion is occurring develop both parallel and perpendicular ...
