... exhibition procedure coupon fattahpour surface filtration Introduction The improvement of Sand Control Devices (SCDs) in oil production from weakly consolidated and unconsolidated sandstone oil reservoirs has attracted significant attention in academic and industrial applications. The challenges...

... Abstract Reduced-order modeling can lead to computational savings in reservoir management applications when many related models must be simulated, as is the case, for example, in production optimization. In this study, we implement two reduced-order modeling procedures into our in-house...

... quantified thoroughly in a laboratory setting for over 30 years through the procedures outlined in API RP61 and later API RP19D, referred to as the short-term test and long-term test, respectively. These procedures produce variable results from test to test, person to person, and lab to lab. As a result...

... in the US by the year 2050(EPA, Carbon Capture & Sequestration). These numbers are equivalent to 600years’ worth of carbon emissions from various commercial sources in the US. This, however, entails the requirement of many regulatory considerations for CCS procedures ranging from pore space ownership...

..., the current procedures of selecting new well locations are based on the surface patterns and static reservoir properties. Machine learning (ML) has recently been spotlighted since it does not require specific physical models but can provide good estimations if there is enough data. Features like permeability...

... drainage area are sensitive to this cooling effect only. From the thermal modeling, we extend existing reservoir characterization procedures to incorporate the boundary dominated flow period. Drainage area can be estimated from the measured temperature signals acquired in both production and monitoring...

Proactive operator leadership led to collaboration with the service provider to review the practices and procedures. This collaboration resulted in presentations for rigsite...

... Abstract Steam injection is one of the most broadly deployed enhanced oil recovery techniques in heavy oil reservoirs. Numerical reservoir simulation plays a significant role in studying the mechanism and design of the field development strategies of steam injection procedures. Artificial...

The required input data for analysis are gas flow rate, bottomhole pressure, CVD test data, and a portion of the immiscible gas relative permeability curve. We also introduce a new material balance time function...
