... Roash "G" member (A/R G) of Cenomanian (Cretaceous) age. These sandstones comprise the main reservoirs in the field. During the last 4 years, the introduction of various techniques has led to a fourfold increase in the production from these fields. This success story is mainly the result of using...

... Abstract This paper describes the application of a new numerical model to simulate any work over plans in order to assess the work over efficiency and the well productivity enhancement, prior to operations commencement. A case study is discussed, where an operator in Egypt had a plan...

... used as a feed stock for petrochemical industry (SIDPEC Company) to produce Ethylene and 280 MT/Y & 59 MT/Y of LPG and condensate for the local market consumption adding value for national economy by reducing the imported quantities of the same products and 210 MT/Y of Commercial Propane for export...

... Abstract The West Qarun development concession is located in the Abu Gharadig basin of the Western Desert, approximately 200 km SW of Cairo City. The block comprises a gross area of 46.2 km2 and contains the producing West Qarun oil field. Oil production commenced in October 1994 from four...

... stress profile, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio. The reservoir development and mechanical properties are illustrated in Fig. 3 and the production history in Fig. 4 . Abstract Hydraulic fracturing is a widely used technology in the industry to enhance oil and gas production, particularly...

... Abstract An oil well with two perforated zones had an initial production rate of ~2,400 BOPD with water traces. Within 3 months, production decreased to ~1,000 BOPD and water cut increased to >25%. It was critical to identify the cause of decreasing productivity and increasing water cut...

... on flow (permeability) and storage-capacity analyses (porosity partitioning), and a better understanding of the reservoir heterogeneity at different scales; the results have been used to improve drillstem test designs and reservoir production strategies. real time system machine learning Drillstem...

... the blocks of Dragon structure as mentioned above, the South-East Dragon reservoir, which is selected for our study, is a small reservoir with the size of 8 x 7 km, where the oil is produced from a naturally fractured basement. It was discovered in 1994 and put on production in 1996, and it is now...

... disappointing results and tighter zones are often abandoned for more promising target intervals. With increases in oil and gas production targets, operators are being forced to investigate more marginal reservoir layers for reserves and production potential. The real challenge facing oil industry today...

... well productivity was very good. Currently the field is facing the challenge of high water cut which is masking the oil production and will result in lower recovery factor than envisaged in field development plan (FDP). Arresting the production decline by controlling the excess water production...

... and 90°F respectively. The oil viscosity is more than 4000 cp at standard conditions and the reservoir rock is oil wet with 5-10% H2S content. The highly unconsolidated nature of the sand and the thin pay (heat losses) makes the economical production of Zeit Sand very challenging. The OOIP...

.... According to dynamic data, well productivity may be enhanced by fracturation by a factor up to 12. The resulting fracture probability map was used to build a 3D fracture model with IFP and FracaFlow® software dedicated for fracture analysis and fracture modelling. For each well, a local discrete...

... Abstract The oil and gas industry needs to plug the capability gap with pertinent technology that embraces the current trends to improving productivity. Digital oil fields have to engage the geosciences community and the business decision makers, surfacing knowledge from the plethora...

... Abstract Formation damage, a common problem associated with field operations, is often a major factor in reducing the productivity and injectivity of a well in a petroleum reservoir. Numerous laboratory and field studies indicate that formation damage occurs during many phases of reservoir...

..., and any additional water saturation were mobile. However, in terms of permeability loss, we can see from the example above that an increase of water saturation from 20 to 40% was sufficient to down grade productivity significantly. A summary of the permeability losses for the four tests are shown...

... Abstract At present, about half of Hassi Messaoud field output is being produced from hundreds of non-conventional wells. Two horizontal well (HW) applications are being used; new infill medium-radius horizontal wells in between productive zones and re-entry of dry-to-poor vertical producers...

... Abstract The rapid post-fracture production rate decline observed in both oil and gas wells is normally associated with loss of fracture conductivity, often attributed to invasion of formation fines into the proppant pack, loss of fracture width caused by proppant flowback, and fines derived...
