Modeling and Application of Tracers for Reservoir Characterization
(1994-12)
There were two main objectives of this research. The first objective was to develop an accurate and efficient tracer model to study gas tracers used in both single-well and interwell tracer tests. The second objective was ...
Finite Element Modeling of Annular Flows With Application to Slim Hole Drilling Hydraulics
(1994-05)
During the exploration and exploitation phases of an oil field, it is necessary to drill wells at strategic points of the field in order to obtain information about the geology, lithology and oil bearing potential of the ...
Facies-guided 3-dimensional seismic modeling and reservoir characterization
(1994)
A set of 3-D seismic models has been generated for a lower Miocene progradational micro-tidal shore-zone system at Powderhorn field, Calhoun County, Texas. These models are based on detailed mapping of facies and rock-properties ...
Primary Depletion Reservoir Simulator for Real and Dry Gas
(1994-12)
A real unsteady-state gas simulator has been developed using the new gas potential formulation presented by Chien. This simulator handles the non-linearity relationship of the PVT properties and pressure within a time step. ...
Identification, Classification and Regulation of Newly Discovered Gas Condensate and Volatile Oil Reservoirs
(1994-05)
Volatile oil and gas condensate reservoirs are special reservoirs because of their potential for improved hydrocarbon liquid recovery through some form of pressure maintenance operation. These reservoirs are difficult to ...
Plio-Pleistocene evolution of the upper continental slope, Garden Banks and East Breaks areas, northwestern Gulf of Mexico
(1994-05)
Over 7000 sq. km of salt and six Plio-Pleistocene biostratigraphic horizons were mapped in the East Breaks and Garden Banks areas using a 12,000 km grid of seismic data and all obtainable well data. Structure mapping of ...
The effects of depositional environment and formation water chemistry on the diagenesis of Frio Formation (Oligocene) sandstones and shales, Aransas, Nueces, and San Patricio Counties, Texas
(1994)
Shorezone and shelf facies sandstones of the Frio Formation from five growth fault blocks in the Corpus Christi, Texas, area were studied by petrographic, isotopic, and XRD techniques in order to determine the factors ...
Controls on accumulation in modern and ancient wet eolian systems
(1994)
Wet eolian systems are those in which the water table is shallow and the floors of the interdune areas are within the capillary fringe. Sediment accumulation within a wet eolian system occurs as a result of a relative rise ...
Corporate governance : a study of director liability, firm performance and shareholder wealth
(1994)
This study examines the relationship between the composition of the board of directors, director liability, the firm's performance and shareholder wealth. The existence of a director liability crisis is first examined. ...
Modeling Foam Flow in Porous Media and Applications to Eor and Acidization
(1994-05)
Foams are used in the petroleum industry to divert gas in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes and divert acid in matrix acidization treatments. These processes are exceedingly complex, but a model based on the "limiting ...
