... Abstract Initial saturations of hydrocarbons and water, that exist in porous media, control reserves in place and, in many cases, the deliverability/recovery of these reserves. Hence, their accurate determination is essential for proper economic and reservoir engineering evaluation...

..., or of providing a service, evaluate, select and develop these opportunities. Capital, the second spoke in the wheel of success, is also very tied to the human component. Capital will flow to projects, services and businesses where there is a potential for growth. upstream oil & gas interview...

... in the capital and operating costs necessary to develop and maintain production also impacts the values. Contrasting provincial and freehold royalties, compounded by federal and provincial income taxes, further add to the differences. All these factors must be considered when evaluating reserves - beware...

... and immeasurable. Previously some individual techniques such as shut-in pressure analysis and well test after a treatment were presented in the evaluation of hydraulic fractures. However, using all the techniques in one evaluation and comparing the different results are not reported to our scope. Several...

... and evaluation. The objective of the automatic production monitoring system is to provide a program that will replicate the preliminary steps which the typical analyst would take in doing a performance review of an oil field. That is, the system retrieves the data, presents it in a logical and concise manner...

... logging evaluation data were put in Encal's hands in a timely fashion so pertinent decisions could be made rapidly. This relationship evolved a system of programming and communication that significantly reduced the time of gathering those data while reducing the time spent on location by the service...

... Abstract Approximate equations are presented for evaluation of naturally fractured gas condensate reservoirs represented by dual-porosity models in radial systems. The reader is cautioned that this work is in progress. Additional research will help to corroborate and refine these techniques...

... and coiled tubing drilling necessitated the development of an improved window milling system for use on coiled tubing. An evaluation was completed on the conventional window milling tools available. The evaluation revealed a number of obstacles for coiled tubing drilling applications. It was decided...

... Abstract Many heavy oil reservoirs in Alberta are currently being produced by primary production (cold production) or by thermal processes. Not all of Alberta's reservoirs are suitable for these techniques. The purpose of this work is to develop and evaluate an economically feasible non...

... and responsibilities, Gulf personnel were unable to dedicate the time required to extract well file data and relevant technical information. Baseline data was unavailable to determine which wells required evaluation, or to what extent testing was required. In response to these factors, Hartech submitted a proposal...

... been very limited due to the concerns of H,S embrittlement of drillpipe and overall wellsite safety as sour gas is produced to surface. In most cases, without DST data, operators must rely on limited geological and openhole log evaluation to establish well deliverability allowing justification to case...

... aspects ofthis, the largest horizontal drilling campaign to date. Numerous technological advancements have occurred in the drilling, completion, formation evaluation and stimulation arenas. Improvements in formationevaluation lead to new technologies in geosteering and reservoircharacterization. Drilling...

... horizontal. For non-coredreservoir sections, drill cuttings can be valuable in formations evaluation. Areas that should be assessed before horizontal drilling include, reservoir description, wellbore stability, and formation damage potential. Reservoir description, including heterogeneity definition...

.... Such evaluations are focused on identifying poor quality data to exclude or discount from the interpretation data set. Consequently, data validation tends to be macroscopic in nature and does not address the idiosyncrasies that are unique to electronic pressure gauges. In this paper, pressure gauge responses...

... is based on the rigsite mud dewaterability testing and the breakeven cost economics. The protocol for dewaterability test describes instrumentation and stepwise procedure to measure dewatering cake's moisture content and evaluate efficiency of volume reduction. Emphasized is preparation of weighted mud...

Rock properties information was compiled in an effort to accurately model the fracture geometry created. Rock property logs in conjunction with laboratory rock properties testing...

... Abstract A number of articles and books have been written about evaluating and assessing the risk and uncertainty associated with oil reserve evaluation and acquisition. Very little has been included in the standard texts regarding evaluating Enhanced Oil Recovery (EGR) projects in particular...
