... is conducted to explore the productivity of the Fox Creek, Alberta shale play. Experiments using X-Ray Diffraction, Tight Rock Analysis, Rock-Eval Pyrolysis, and Triaxial Compression are conducted to characterize the mineralogy, petrophysics, geochemistry, and geomechanics of the region under study. Multiple...

... Abstract Microseismic monitoring technology is widely used to characterize the fracture network and provide enough information on fracture geometry and properties. We go beyond the existing method that uses planar fractures or orthogonal conjugate fractures for representing the fracture network...

... Abstract This study addresses the problem of fluid characterization in siliciclastic reservoirs where the resistivity contrast between pay and wet sands is low. Our study field contains connate water of extremely high salinity. The pay sands generally have high irreducible water saturation...

... and interpretations. For initial characterization, reference information from previously fractured horizontal wells in the same formation should be considered and a holistic approach using characterization from petro-physical, geomechanical, mineralogy, and geochemical analysis should be considered during...

... Abstract Efficient management of water flooding oil fields requires an accurate characterization of high-permeability zone, which evolves from long-term water flooding, as sand production and clay erosion have contributed to the variation of formation structure. These zones are a subject...

... and economical affordability, is regarded as one of the most promising unconventional resources. And it is necessary to make the characterization of realistic pore structure for tight oil, which is the foundation for continuous production and enhanced recovery. In this paper a novel analysis procedure...

... Carbonate characterization is a well known complex and challenging subject aiming to describe the formation properties like porosity, permeability and saturation and delineating reservoir quality. It has been observed that porosity and mineralogy alone is incapable of defining the reservoir flow...

... fluid conditions. To further enhance these advanced features, a new method of downhole fluid characterization based on the equation of state (EOS) approach is proposed in this work. The purpose of this work is to develop a new approach to maximize the value of DFA data and perform quality assurance...

... Abstract Petroleum reservoir characterization is a process for quantitatively describing various reservoir properties in spatial variability using all the available field data. Porosity and permeability are the two fundamental reservoir properties which relate to the amount of fluid contained...

... Abstract By integrating geological, seismic data, geochemical mud log data, wireline log correlations, DSTs, reservoir/production data and 3D modeling; a detailed reservoir characterization was conducted in a narrow fluvial channel reservoir within an oil rim. Application of acoustic impedance...

... Abstract Precise and accurate characterization of a reservoir fluid is a very important factor in reservoir simulation studies. PVT experiments are usually expensive and performed in limited conditions. Therefore Computer EOS based PVT packages are used widely for the prediction and evaluation...
