Characterization of gas condensate reservoirs using pressure transient and production data - Santa Barbara Field, Monagas, Venezuela
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis presents a field case history of the integrated analysis and interpretation developed using all of the available petrophysical, production, and well test data from the condensate zone of Block A, Santa Barbara ...
Modeling twin-screw multiphase pump performance during periods of high gas volume fraction
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Multiphase pumping is a new technology used for reducing capital investments, increasing production rates, and improving recoveries in many on-shore projects. Interest is also growing in the subsea/offshore application of ...
Water alternating enriched gas injection to enhance oil production and recovery from San Francisco Field, Colombia
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The main objectives of this study are to determine the most suitable type of gas for a water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection scheme, the WAG cycle time, and gas injection rate to increase oil production rate and recovery ...
Experimental and simulation studies of water-alternating-enriched gas injection for San Francisco Field, Colombia
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis presents a complete investigation involving experimental and compositional reservoir simulation studies into enriched gas injection as a method to enhance oil recovery from the San Francisco field in Colombia. ...
Predicting proppant flowback from fracture-stimulated wells
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
In this thesis, the usefulness and benefits of predicting proppant flowback in the design stage of hydraulic fracturing treatments are evidenced. A new prediction model, as well as a methodology, is proposed in this work. ...
Investigation of flow modifying tools for the continuous unloading of wet-gas wells
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Liquid loading in low production gas wells is a common problem faced in many producing regions around the world. Once gas rates fall below the minimum lift velocity, it is essential that some action be taken to maintain ...
Experimental studies of steam-propane injection for the Duri intermediate crude oil
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Laboratory experimental studies were carried out to better understand production mechanisms involved in steam-propane injection and to investigate effects of expected field pressure and temperature conditions on steam-propane ...
Formation damage in underbalanced drilling operations
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Formation damage has long been recognized as a potential source of reduced productivity and injectivity in both horizontal and vertical wells. From the moment that the pay zone is being drilled until the well is put 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 ...
