... with artificial fracture orientation and geometry. In this study, a new workflow to model the hydraulic fractures using EDFM (Embedded Discrete Fracture Model) is developed to couple with the Nexus reservoir simulator for the first time. Borrowed from the dual continuum concept, the main idea of EDFM is the non...

... interfaces and corrects the calculated stress intensity factor to account for height containment. A hydraulic fracture model, constrained by geomechanical information, is built in a corner point grid. Resulting hydraulic fracture geometries and identified bedding layer fractures are transferred to EDFM...

... the operation. A mathematical tool has been developed to estimate the amount of dry ice pallets required for a given well geometry. For 4.5 inch, 1000 ft long production tubing, 1000 kg dry ice can release 51.7 bbl of CO 2 gas, which can generate a 495 psi increase in pressure. Well intervention operations...

..., only a few scattered wells have explored the thrust fold belt in Abu Dhabi, with inconclusive results about the hydrocarbon potentiality. Drilling was avoided in these areas in the past due to the geological complexity and unavailable technologies that would reveal the subsurface geometries. Previous...

... Abstract The Late Jurassic Gotnia evaporites of Sabriyah (SA) and Raudhatain (RA) fields, North Kuwait, provide an example of Layered Evaporite Sequences (LESs) in which well-preserved internal geometries resulting from a complex polyphased tectonic deformation can be investigated. The Gotnia...

.... Applying a fully-integrated geology, geomechanics, completion and production workflow has helped us to understand the impact of geology, natural fractures, rock mechanical properties and stress regimes in the SRV geometry for the unconventional Diyab play. This work also highlights the importance of data...

... stratigraphic based correlations have identified stratigraphic trap potential. Each of these stratigraphic intervals are associated with the following stratigraphic traps: Triassic: Sub-crop traps associated with a base Jurassic regional unconformity and intra-Triassic unconformities. Onlap geometries...

... in elbows, compact heat exchanges, solar heat collectors, and electronic cooling systems. This work presents a survey of air-water and air-water-sand flow through circular and triangular pipes. The main objective of this investigation is to study the potential effects of triangular pipe geometry on flow...

.... Descriptions from outcrops are used to address subsurface scenarios of marker horizon(s) and their lateral/spatial variability; diagenesis related to faults at outcrop and expected variations along wellbore laterals in the oilfield. Additionally, offsets/throws, damage zone geometries for thin-bed reservoir...

... in the shale. The magnitude of SHMAX was back-analyzed based on the hole geometry using interpretation of six-arm caliper and analytical solution in the two key locations. This study clarified that severe lost circulation in the crest area was likely to occur due to reactivation of the pre-existing fractures...

... horizontal stress geometry breakout Introduction Fields under study has high oil accumulations and are in the western onshore Indian fields, targeting Kalol and Cambay shale Formations. Target reservoirs are tight due to lower effective porosity in the range of 8%-15% and require hydro-fracturing...

The presented tectonic model is then still needs to link the local with the regional Arabian plate tectonics to understand how...

... when removing its vestigial features. The extent to which length, gauge geometry, and bit design can affect directional response on push-the-bit rotary steerable systems (RSS) and a bent housing motor is examined. Results from laboratory testing provided feedback into analytical models for validation...

... the application and limitations of the MDI technique as a function on the 3D geometry used and highlighted the benefit of using a grid of sources for acquisition (or a grid of receivers by reciprocity) to accurately model the scattered ground-roll in all 3D directions. In our test on this dataset, deploying...
