Tao, Qing (2011-02-22)Waterflooding is currently the most commonly used method to improve oil recovery after primary depletion. The reservoir heterogeneity such as permeability distribution could negatively affect the performance of waterflooding. ...
-
Lerlertpakdee, Pongsathorn (2012-10-19)Reservoir simulation is an important tool for decision making and field development management. It enables reservoir engineers to predict reservoir production performance, update an existing model to reproduce monitoring ...
-
Rey Amaya, Alvaro (2012-10-19)Seismic data have been established as a valuable source of information for the construction of reservoir simulation models, most commonly for determination of the modeled geologic structure, and also for population of ...
-
Tarrahi, Mohammadali (2015-05-04)Hydraulic stimulation of low permeability rocks in unconventional reservoirs has been observed to trigger microearthquakes (MEQs). Triggering of the MEQ events has been linked to the pore pressure, temperature, and in-situ ...
-
Ma, Xianlin (2009-05-15)Uncertainty quantification involves sampling the reservoir parameters correctly from a posterior probability function that is conditioned to both static and dynamic data. Rigorous sampling methods like Markov Chain Monte ...
-
Zhang, Zhishuai (2012-10-19)Characterization of connectivity in compartmentalized deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GoM) reservoirs is an outstanding challenge of the industry that can significantly impact the development planning and recovery from these ...
-
Dong, Guangwei (2011-02-22)Multiple transverse fracturing along a horizontal well is a relatively new technology that is designed to increase well productivity by increasing the contact between the reservoir and the wellbore. For multiple transverse ...
-
Bhark, Eric Whittet (2012-10-19)Reservoir model calibration to production data, also known as history matching, is an essential tool for the prediction of fluid displacement patterns and related decisions concerning reservoir management and field ...
-
Khodabakhshi, Morteza (2014-03-20)Multipoint statistics (MPS) provides an approach for pattern-based simulation of complex geologic objects from a training image (TI), which contains the general connectivity structures of complex patterns. While grid-based ...
-
Du, Song (2011-02-22)The development of fine grid geolgocial models has attracted great attention in the past decades. Meanwhile, the need for reliable upscaling and coarsening techniques is continuing. Besides the computational efficiency, ...
