Simulation study to investigate development options for a super-heavy oil reservoir
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A reservoir simulation study was performed on a heavy oil reservoir with the main objective of evaluating possible development options beyond the existing cold production method. The 206-acre area simulated - part of a ...
Identification and characterization of Hydraulic Flow Units in the San Juan Formation, Orocual Field, Venezuela
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis focuses on the integration of core and well log data in order to provide a petrophysical characterization of the Hydraulic Flow Units (HFU) in the San Juan Formation, Orocual Field, Venezuela. We used three ...
Laboratory tests to evaluate and study formation damage with low-density drill-in fluids (LDDIF) for horizontal well completions in low pressure and depleted reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The increasing number of open hole horizontal well completions in low-pressure and depleted reservoirs requires the use of non-damaging low-density drill-in fluids (LDDIF) to avoid formation damage and realize optimum well ...
Development of the optimized waterflooding pattern for the naturally fractured Spraberry Trend area
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The Spraberry Trend area has produced oil since 1949 with a history of low productivity and unresponsive waterflooding within areas of interest in the field. It has been shown over the years that the conventional line drive ...
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 ...
Impact of relative permeability models on fluid flow behavior for gas condensate reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Accurate assessments of reserves and evaluation of productivity trends for gas condensate systems depend on a basic understanding of phase and fluid flow behavior. In gas condensate reservoirs, the gas flow depends on ...
Experimental studies of steam-propane and enriched gas injection for the Minas light crude oil
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Experimental studies were carried out to compare the benefits of propane as an additive in steam injection and in lean gas injection to enhance production for the Minas light crude oil (34⁰API). The studies on steam-propane ...
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 ...
A comparison of Bayesian versus deterministic formulation for dynamic data integration into reservoir models
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The integration of dynamic data into reservoir models is known as automatic history matching, and it requires the solution of an inverse problem through the minimization of an objective function. The objective function to ...
Modeling multiphase flow for high viscosity liquids: a study of vertical/inclined zero net liquid flow
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This experimental study investigates the effects of inclination angle and fluid viscosity on zero net liquid flow (ZNLF). Predicting liquid holdup under ZNLF conditions is necessary in several types of petroleum industry ...
