Pfeiffer, Thomas (2011-02-22)Reservoir fluids are rarely found in homogeneous structures having homogeneous properties. The various elements and processes of the petroleum system result in complex fluid distributions and compositions. A sound understanding ...
-
Yip, Yeung (2011-08-08)Petroleum engineers generate reservoir simulation models to optimize production and maximize recovery. History matching is one of the methods used to calibrate the reservoir models. During traditional history matching, ...

Shukla, Shashank (2009-05-15)Coriolis meter, despite being very accurate in single phase conditions, fails to accurately measure two-phase flows. It poses a complex fluid-structure interaction problem in case of two-phase operation; there is a scarcity ...

Ravuri Venkata Krish, Meher Surendra (2010-01-16)Understanding how swirl flows can be applied to processes in the oil and gas industry and how problems might hinder them, are the focus of this thesis. Three application areas were identified: wet gas metering, liquid ...

Alarbi, Nasraldin Abdulslam A. (2011-10-21)Hydraulic fracturing has recently been the completion of choice for most tight gas bearing formations. It has proven successful to produce these formations in a commercial manner. However, some considerations have to be ...

Modeling of Multiphase Flow in the Near-Wellbore Region of the Reservoir under Transient Conditions Zhang, He (2010-07-14)In oil and gas field operations, the dynamic interactions between reservoir and wellbore cannot be ignored, especially during transient flow in the near-wellbore region. As gas hydrocarbons are produced from underground ...

Rehman, Abdul (2012-02-14)This thesis provides a detailed evaluation of different environmentally friendly dispersants in invert-emulsion drilling fluids that can be used to drill wells under difficult conditions such as HPHT. The drilling fluid ...
-
Boppa, Praneetha (2012-10-19)Squeeze film dampers are used in the high speed turbo machinery industry and aerospace industries as a means to reduce vibration amplitude, to provide damping, to improve dynamic stability of the rotor bearing system and ...
-
Waltrich, Paulo (2012-10-19)Liquid loading in gas wells is generally described as the inability of the well to lift the co-produced liquids up the tubing, which may ultimately kill the well. There is a lack of dedicated models that can mimic the ...
-
Alqahtani, Mari H. (2010-10-12)I present a systematic method to primary develop existing black oil fields. This method uses integrated reservoir development workflow (IRDW) that relies on integrated asset model (IAM). Developing any existing field means ...

Cavalcanti de Sousa, Pedro (2013-12-09)A limited amount of work exists on upward gas-liquid flow in annular spaces. This is a common scenario in drilling operations, especially in underbalanced drilling, and in high-production wells. To carry out this study, a ...
