(2013-11-15)Acid fracturing is a well stimulation strategy designed to increase the productivity of a producing well. The parameters of acid fracturing and the effects of acid interaction on specific rock samples can be studied ...
-
(2020-07-21)In carbonate reservoirs, wells are typically stimulated by injecting acid into the formation. The injected acid reacts and dissolves the formation minerals, creating high-conductive flow paths, also known as wormholes. HCl ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The use of neural networks in the field of development geology is in its infancy. In this study, a neural network will be used to identify flow units in Happy Spraberry Field, Garza County, Texas. A flow unit is the ...
-
(2017-06-26)This thesis utilized the method of ground penetrating radar to investigate the structural geology of carbonate units in relation to the evolution of the island of Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands. Two surveys were completed ...
-
(2010-10-12)Recently developed models of the acid fracturing process have shown that the differential etching necessary to create lasting fracture conductivity is caused by the heterogeneous distributions of permeability and mineralogy ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The determination of reservoir quality and its spatial distribution is a key objective in reservoir characterization. This is especially challenging for carbonates because, due to the effects of diagenesis, quality rarely ...
-
(2014-11-19)As the world’s largest ocean, the Pacific Ocean is intrinsically linked to the major changes in current and past climate via several mechanisms, in particular, through the carbon cycle’s influence on atmospheric CO2 ...
-
(2020-05-21)Creating sufficient and sustained fracture conductivity contributes directly to the success of acid fracturing treatments. The permeability and mineralogy distributions of formation rocks play significant roles in creating ...
-
(2014-04-30)Acid jetting is a well stimulation technique that is used in carbonate reservoirs. It typically involves injecting acid down hole at high flow rates through small orifices which cause high velocities of acid to strike the ...
-
(2015-05-05)Determination of optimal acidizing conditions through laboratory experimental study is crucial for designing matrix acid stimulation jobs in the field. Optimum interstitial velocity, vi-opt (the velocity of injected fluid ...
-
(2016-08-02)The island of Bonaire is an isolated carbonate platform that is formed of Miocene to modern carbonate successions overlying a Cretaceous igneous basement. We show that the igneous basement of the island of Bonaire, Netherland ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Determining the distribution of porosity and permeability is one of the main challenges in carbonate petroleum reservoir characterization and requires a thorough understanding of pore type and origin, as well as their ...
-
(2016-07-28)Regular HCl has been used for years in carbonate stimulation treatment because it reacts rapidly with carbonate rocks. However, due to fast reaction, the acid reacts near the wellbore area and is not able to travel deeper ...
-
(2012-10-19)Coal balls are carbonate concretions formed in peat during the Pennsylvanian and early Permian. Microprobe and microscope analysis reveal that polycrystals of high-Mg calcite (HMC), which are also high in Sr, are the ...
-
(2016-12-09)Carbonate rocks have complex heterogeneities that result from syn- and post-depositional stressors. These heterogeneities invariably affect the movement of fluid through the formation. When considering an acid treatment ...
-
Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Pb, Zn and Ag Mine Tailings Originating From Carbonate-Rich Deposits (2012-11-29)Mining for silver, lead, zinc, and copper in Zimapan, Hidalgo State, Mexico has been ongoing since 1576. Unsecured tailings heaps and associated acid mine drainage have presented problems related to soil quality, water ...
-
(2011-02-22)Carbonate reservoirs of different rock types have wide ranges of porosity and permeability, creating zones with different reservoir quality and flow properties. This research addresses how seismic technology can be used ...
-
(2014-12-03)Well stimulation is a common practice in petroleum engineering, applied when the production does not meet expectations. Acid jetting is one of the acid stimulation methods, used in carbonate reservoirs where formation ...
-
(2019-04-05)Due to the complex nature and importance of porosity in carbonate systems, it has been extensively studied and characterized. Many porosity types and textures have been strongly associated with certain chemical and physical ...
-
(2014-08-27)Carbonate precipitation can be either promoted or inhibited by microbial processes in different redox zones. It is therefore possible for basin redox evolution to indirectly control early carbonate diagenesis and modify ...
