This effort is geared towards advancing our comprehension of the interaction between hydrocarbons...

... in the production of hydrocarbons while also actively exploring substantial ways to substantially reduce GHG emissions such as methane and carbon dioxide. The decarbonization process requires significant investments and concrete steps. In parallel, we see a transformation in the petroleum industry...

... Abstract Pore-scale dependent phase behavior describes a decrease in the hydrocarbon phase envelope as pore throat size decreases. This phenomenon is well documented in terms of confining effects on phase behavior with several analytical fluid models proposed that account for these effects...

...-ppg oil-based mud. T1 and T2 measurements were acquired with an LWD NMR sensor while drilling and during wiping passes. These measurements provided an additional dimension to differentiate clay-bound water from organic hydrocarbons, with good correlation to existing core data in real time. Reservoir...

... Abstract Horizontal placement of a producer well plays an important role in the efficient production of hydrocarbons from unconventional reservoirs. The preferred placement of a producer well is based on the available information about the presence of natural fractures and formation stresses...

... of hydrocarbons, including fractures, micro-fractures and cracks, and organic pores down to a few nanometers ( Loucks et al., 2012 ). Organic pores form when fluids are generated, whereas the cracks and fractures form when the generated fluids could not migrate in the primary pore network fast enough and built up...

... resolution. In-situ observations reveal a decrease of average CT number (i.e., density) within some volumetric regions of the cores after maturation. In these regions, organic matter (kerogen and bitumen) were converted into hydrocarbons. Changs in the source rock depends on the original TOC fraction...
