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 ...

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 ...

The objective of reservoir characterization is to describe the complex distribution of properties of a reservoir based on available geological, petrophysical, and engineering data. Some of the reasons for the complexity ...

A single-well backflow tracer test to estimate reservoir wettability and to determine in-situ relative permeability parameters and residual phase saturations has been developed. Wettability controls the distribution and ...
