Geostatistical Reservoir Characterization and Scale-Up of Permeability and Relative Permeabilities
(1996-12)
In this dissertation several unresolved issues related to reservoir characterization and simulation techniques are investigated so that improvements can be made in their reliability and efficiency. Geostatistical techniques ...
A Mathematical Model for Three-Dimensional Nonsteady-State Streamline Simulation of Horizontally Drilled Reservoirs
(1992-08)
Among the recent technological breakthroughs that have revolutionized the search for oil and its production are innova-tions realized in the field of horizontal drilling. Once dormant, this practice is fast becoming routine ...
A Comparison of Three Equation of State Compositional Simulators
(1984-05)
During the past two decades, approximately one formulation
per year has been published for compositional simulators.
However, until now, no consistent comparison has
been made on any of them. Three of these formulations ...
Development of a Moving Grid Point Method for the Solution of Multicomponent, Multiphase Flow Problems in One Dimension
(1984-08)
The theory for a single component moving point finite difference method is extended for multicomponent, multi phase porous media flow problems in one dimension. The modified technique is applied for the solution of a three ...
Colloid Retention and Flow in Porous Media
(1996-08)
The transport and filtration of particulate suspensions in porous media is a
process of considerable importance in science and engineering. Despite the great
deal of work that has been done in this area two fundamental ...
Development Of A 2-D Micellar/Polymer Simulator
(1982-05)
A two-dimensional, compositional simulator has been developed and applied to micellar/polymer flooding. This simulator can model both heterogeneous areal reservoirs and heterogeneous vertical reservoir cross-sections. ...
A Study of Polymer/Surfactant Interactions for Micellar/Polymer Flooding Applications
(1978-12)
Static measurements of the phase volumes of mixtures of surfactant, polymer, alcohol, water, n-octane, sodium chloride, and in some cases polymer additives were made. A limited number of viscosity, phase concentration, and ...
Membrane Behavior of Shales and Ionic Solutions
(1998-05)
The transport of water and ions through shales was studied both
experimentally and theoretically. Experiments were conducted on the diffusion of
ions and water through shale at elevated stress levels similar to those ...
Numerical Simulation of Geopressured Geothermal Aquifer Phenomena
(1986-09)
Hot brines in geopressured sandstones contain significant
quantities of dissolved natural gas. If these sandstones are capable
of producing brines at high rates, the natural gas and thermal energy
may be economically ...
Formation Damage and Fluid Loss in Crossflow Filtration of Drilling Muds
(1993-12)
A systematic study of the formation damage and filtrate loss associated with the dynamic filtration of both water and oil based muds is presented. Experiments were conducted in a specially designed core holder to measure ...
