After Closure Analysis of the Linear Flow Regime in a Fracture Calibration Test
(2016-05-05)After closure analysis (ACA) of a fracture calibration test designed to provide closure pressure and the fracturing fluid leak-off coefficient can provide estimates for formation permeability and pressure if radial flow ... -
Comparison of Various Deterministic Forecasting Techniques in Shale Gas Reservoirs with Emphasis on the Duong Method
(2012-10-19)There is a huge demand in the industry to forecast production in shale gas reservoirs accurately. There are many methods including volumetric, Decline Curve Analysis (DCA), analytical simulation and numerical simulation. ... -
Expanding the operational envelope of compact cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid separators using a variable inlet-slot configuration
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Despite the numerous advantages associated with using compact cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid separators, particularly for upstream production operations, the lack of a full understanding of the complex hydrodynamic process ... -
Gas Kinetic Study of Magnetic Field Effects on Plasma Plumes
(2012-12-07)Plasma flow physics in magnetic nozzles must be clearly understood for optimal design of plasma propulsion devices. Toward that end, in this thesis we: i) perform an extensive literature survey of magnetic nozzle physics, ... -
Impes modeling of volumetric dry gas reservoirs with mobile water
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)As the importance of natural gas as a resource increases, the importance of volumetric dry gas reservoirs with mobile water as the dominant gas reservoir types will also increase. This research developed an efficient, ... -
Mechanistic Model Validation of Decline Curve Analysis for Unconventional Reservoirs
(2020-04-20)The primary objective of this work is to provide the validation and ranking of numerous decline curve analysis models. From the validation cases analyzed in this research best practice guidelines for each of the decline ... -
New Advances in Shale Gas Reservoir Analysis Using Water Flowback Data
(2014-04-04)Shale gas reservoirs with multistage hydraulic fractures are commonly characterized by analyzing long-term gas production data, but water flowback data is usually not included in the analysis. However, this work shows there ... -
Prioritizing Workover Options Probabilistically in a Marginal Oil Field: A Case Study from the Permian Basin
(2017-01-13)This study proposes a probabilistic decision-making support model (“Green Tree”), created in Microsoft Excel, to assist operators of marginal assets in prioritizing well workover decisions. Such a tool can help operators ... -
Reactor Physics Analysis of Air-Cooled Nuclear System
(2016-04-22)The design of SACRé (Small Air-Cooled Reactor) fixated on evaluations of air as a potential coolant. The assessment offered in this thesis focused on reactor physic analyses, and materials review and incorporation in a ... -
