(2012-10-15)With the production from mature oil fields declining, the increasing demand of oil urges towards more effective recovery of the available resources. Currently, the CO2 Floods are the second most applied EOR processes in ...
-
(2019-06-10)Source rocks, such as organic-rich shale, consist of multi-scale pore structures which include pores with sizes down to nano-scale contributing to the storage of hydrocarbons. During my Ph.D. studies, using molecular ...
-
(2016-06-17)New fracturing techniques have helped to unlock the once unrecoverable oil from unconventional reservoirs. Unfortunately, even with newer technologies, there are still resources in place that the industry is leaving behind ...
-
(2018-08-05)Hydraulic fracturing has revolutionized the oil and gas industry by increasing hydrocarbon production from unconventional sources. However, waterless or reduced-water fracturing technologies have been researched due to ...

(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)A 16ÃÂ16ÃÂ5.6 in. scaled, three-dimensional, physical model of a quarter of a 9-spot pattern was constructed to study the application of two processes designed to improve the efficiency of steam injection. The first ...
-
(2017-12-06)Oil production from organic rich shale has grown significantly in the last decade due to the combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. Yet, this primary recovery exploitation scheme exhibits fast production ...
-
(2019-05-21)Reactive nature of steam and clay minerals may lead to formation damage and flow assurance issues. This dissertation presents experimental investigation of oil recovery and changes in petrophysical properties as a function ...
-
(2019-04-09)Rate measurements are the most available data gathered throughout the production life of a field, and essential to understand reservoir dynamics. In order to gain knowledge quickly from such data for a massive number of ...
