A Novel Approach For the Simulation of Multiple Flow Mechanisms and Porosities in Shale Gas Reservoirs
(2013-07-15)The state of the art of modeling fluid flow in shale gas reservoirs is dominated by dual porosity models that divide the reservoirs into matrix blocks that significantly contribute to fluid storage and fracture networks ... -
A Simulator with Numerical Upscaling for the Analysis of Coupled Multiphase Flow and Geomechanics in Heterogeneous and Deformable Porous and Fractured Media
(2013-07-15)A growing demand for more detailed modeling of subsurface physics as ever more challenging reservoirs - often unconventional, with significant geomechanical particularities - become production targets has moti-vated research ... -
A column based variance analysis approach to static reservoir model upgridding
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The development of coarsened reservoir simulation models from high resolution geologic models is a critical step in a simulation study. The optimal coarsening sequence becomes particularly challenging in a fluvial channel ... -
Diffuse Source Transmissibility Upscaling
(2014-10-03)Static high resolution three dimensional geological models are routinely constructed to provide an integrated description of a reservoir which includes seismic, well log and core data, and which characterize the reservoir ... -
Experimental and Upscaling Numerical Simulation Study on the Effect of Surfactant Additives in Completion Fluids on Eagle Ford Shale Oil Reservoir
(2018-04-16)The addition of surfactant to the completion fluid of a shale oil well has been widely believed to improve well performance. Previous laboratory studies showed that the method is based on enhanced capillary-driven spontaneous ... -
Impact of PVT Properties of the Fluid on the LBM Scheme Within the Scale Integration for Shale Reservoirs
(2017-12-14)Modelling of the performance of shale gas reservoirs is known for the presence of multiple scales. The latter includes pore-scale, fracture scale and field scale. The nature of flow-mechanisms at various scales is different. ... -
Improved Upscaling & Well Placement Strategies for Tight Gas Reservoir Simulation and Management
(2013-07-29)Tight gas reservoirs provide almost one quarter of the current U.S. domestic gas production, with significant projected increases in the next several decades in both the U.S. and abroad. These reservoirs constitute an ... -
Modeling Biogeochemistry and Flow within Heterogeneous Formations in Variably-Saturated Media
(2012-10-19)This dissertation focuses on understanding the complex interactions between hydrological and geochemical processes, and specifically how these interactions are affected by subsurface heterogeneity across scales. Heterogeneity ... -
Seismic Modeling of the Eagle Ford — How Do Changes of Geological Facies Affect the Seismic Response?
(2018-08-01)This paper utilizes synthetic models of the Eagle Ford to identify how variation of lithological facies across the regional extent of the Eagle Ford affects its seismic response. I apply three different modeling methods ... -
Uncertainty quantification using multiscale methods for porous media flows
(2009-05-15)In this dissertation we discuss numerical methods used for uncertainty quantifi- cation applications to flow in porous media. We consider stochastic flow equations that contain both a spatial and random component which ... -
Upscaling and Multiscale Reservoir Simulation Using Pressure Transient Concepts
(2019-04-03)Fluid flow in subsurface petroleum reservoirs occurs on a wide range of length scales and capturing all the relevant scales in reservoir modeling is a cumbersome task. Even with the advent of modern computational resources, ...
