... improved / what is the tes and reserves be economically increased? Purely empirical statistical approaches such as Spearman ranking are very useful in identifying possible flow paths. The degree of connectivity or communication is a function of waterflood maturity and primary depletion. Therefore...

... Pine A pool to the north, separated only by a fault with a throw of about 40 meters. Pressure, depletion and material balance analyses clearly indicated flow communication between the A and C pools through what has to be a leaky fault. It was then necessary to include both oil pools in the geological...

... circulation was explored through the use of numerical simulations employing a discretized wellbore model. These operating parameters appear to affect uniformity of reservoir heating, occurrence of steam breakthrough and time required to establish communication between the well pair. The simulation results...

... bitumen viscosity decreases with increasing temperature even at low temperatures, and since the Axe Lake reservoir is highly permeable and extremely coarse grained, preliminary reservoir simulations indicated that it is possible that effective, early time, communication between production wells...

... is to heat up and mobilize the intervening oil between injector and producer. At the end of this stage the fluid communication becomes established between injector and producer. Vanegas Prada et al. [10] have described the application of discretized well bores in a thermal reservoir simulator for conducting...

...) communication phase; and controlling lateral spread of steam by using two additional vertical control wells (positioned laterally but close to the heel of the horizontal producer) for conducting a limited steamflood. Also, nitrogen was injected along with steam in the conventional steamflood; propane replaced...

The information system should help the company meet these new expectations. The Intranet is designed to meet these needs. In addition, it allows for total...

.... After simulating and obtaining the optimum operating conditions for the individual drilling bits, the optimum parameters were sent to the company man and drillers in advance. This has shown to be an efficient way of communicating and obtaining optimal results. During drilling the home office...

CSS was used initially in the horizontal wells for establishing the communication with the surrounding vertical wells. The pilot was then converted successfully to SAGD operations...

As was stated in previous work(1), the reservoir characteristic essential to future field development and successful waterflood management is determining the communication, or lack thereof, between the sinkholes and the surrounding...

.... The example gas field is comprised of three producing sandstones at different depths (E, G, and M), and has 20 producing wells. Hydraulic communication and the drainage areas for each reservoir, in both E and M sandstones, were evaluated by using a combination of the amplitude in the seismic anomalies...

... was observed to drop. This phenomenon has been investigated to determine if Asmari communication exists between "B" and "A" oil fields. In 1973, field "B" Asmari oil production reached a peak of around 1.1 MMBPD, and the apparent field "A" Asmari reservoir pressure drop was circa 100 psi. A practical...

... Abstract In Burgan Field, each vertical well normally penetrates through 20–50 flow units, mostly noncommunicating with each other while some of them are partially communicating. Even after nearly 50 years of development, many of the flow units have remained completely undrained. Many other...
