Reservoir characterization using nonparametric regression techniques
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This research presents an approach to obtain accurate and general permeability correlations in heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs. Very often, it is difficult to achieve reliable permeability correlations in these complex ...
Non-uniqueness problem in estimating original gas in place
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis demonstrates the problem of non-uniqueness in estimating Original Gas in Place of gas reservoirs using the material balance technique. The presence of this non-uniqueness problem can cause an overestimation of ...
Borehole stability analysis at the Coporo-1 well, Colombia
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Coporo-1 is an 18,000-ft dry hole located in the tectonically active foothills of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia. A mechanical stability analysis allowed explaining most of the drilling stability-related problems and ...
Laboratory tests, statistical analysis and correlations for regained permeability and breakthrough time in unconsolidated sands for improved drill-in fluid cleanup practices
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Empirical models for estimating the breakthrough time and regained permeability for selected nondamaging drill-in fluids (DIF's) give a clear indication of formation damage and proper cleanup treatments for reservoir ...
An extension of Pedersen's viscosity model for saturated black oil systems
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents a modification of Pedersen's corresponding states compositional viscosity model for black oil systems when no compositional data are available. This new model provides better estimates for oil viscosity ...
Subsea Mudlift Drilling: evaluation of the pressure differential problem with subsea pump
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The petroleum industry is trying to develop new and improved technology to safely, successfully and profitably extract hydrocarbons in deep water. One such technology under development is subsea mudlift drilling (SMD), a ...
Further experimental studies of steam-propane injection to enhance recovery of Morichal oil
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In 1998-1999, experimental research was conducted by Goite at Texas A&M University into steam-propane injection to enhance oil recovery from the Morichal field, Venezuela. Goite's results showed that, compared with steam ...
