Analytical Solution to Pressure Transient Analysis in Non-Newtonian/Newtonian Fluids Composite Reservoirs
(AUST, 2021-04-03)During polymer flooding in the reservoir using shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids, an interface exists between the in-situ Newtonian crude in the reservoir and the injected polymer solution. This work examines application ...

Comparative Analysis of Limited and Fully Compositional Simulation of a Niger Delta Gas-Condensate Reservoir
(2021-06-20)Numerical simulators estimate the recovery volumes and the volume of fluids in-place in the reservoir as a function of time and space by solving complex partial differential fluid flow equations. For gas condensate reservoirs, ...

The Tuning of the Todd and Longstaff Mixing Parameter in Limited Compositional Simulation to Optimize Recovery from a Gas Condensate Reservoir
(2021-07-20)A gas condensate reservoir is a type of gas reservoir that exists when the reservoir temperature is between the critical temperature and the cricondentherm. Compositional simulators are used to simulate these types of ...
