(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 ...
-
(2021-12-09)The topic of this study is the fast and accurate simulation and flow diagnostic techniques used for simulations of flow and transport in porous media, particularly petroleum reservoirs. Fast and reliable simulation and ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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. ...
-
(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 ...

Integration of POD-DEIM to Flow-based Upscaling Method in Reservoir Simulation Model Order Reduction (2021-04-16)This thesis proposes a new workflow for mitigating computational effort in reservoir simulation by integrating two methods of complexity reduction used independently in reservoir applications: flow-based upscaling and ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2020-04-27)Through this study, we present a discrete nonlocal Lagrangian approach called ”tridynamics” which is designed at a length scale of interest to characterize the response of the body. As a basic unit to describe the interaction, ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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, ...
