Lisburne Formation fracture characterization and flow modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Evaluation of fractured reservoirs for fluid flow and optimal well placement is often very complicated. In general, fractures enhance permeability and increase access to matrix surface, but their random aspects create ...
Feasibility of waterflooding Soku E7000 gas-condensate reservoir
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
We performed a simple 3D compositional reservoir simulation study to examine the possibility of waterflooding the Soku E7 gas-condensate reservoir. This study shows that water injection results in higher condensate recovery ...
Rheological behavior of heavy oil and water mixtures at high pressures and high temperatures
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Over the past decade, heavy oil has been the focus of some important high-level activity in exploration and EOR research. In the practice of this industry, we are often faced with the problem of how to produce and transport ...
An efficient tuning strategy to calibrate cubic EOS for compositional simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A new strategy for preparing an equation of state for use in compositional simulation is presented. The strategy comprises three major steps: extending the plus fraction and matching the saturation pressure, grouping, and ...
Velocity models, material balance and solution convergence in streamline-based simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis addresses two important issues related to streamline-based flow simulation. The first issue deals with velocity models, specifically, how to determine the velocity models in various geometries in 2D and 3D ...
Application of piezoelectric sensors for stress-related measurements in wellbores
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Precise knowledge of hydraulic fracture orientation and closure pressure is important for successful well completions. Fracture orientation can be determined from various methods like active mapping, open borehole and ...
Experimental investigation of sand consolidation using high-temperature alkaline solution
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
An experimental study was conducted to better understand the sand consolidation process under high-temperature alkaline solution. Wilmington Tar sand samples were successfully consolidated in the laboratory using ...
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 ...
Effects of non-Darcy flow on pressure buildup analysis of hydraulically fractured gas reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Conventional well-testing techniques are commonly used to evaluate pressure transient tests of hydraulically fractured wells to estimate values such as formation permeability, fracture length, and fracture conductivity. ...
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 ...
