Thermal Transient Testing Using Tds Technique
(2011-12-12)
In the estimation of most reservoir parameters in well test, the reservoir is assumed to be isothermal which is practically not true due to the fact that there are heat sources due to friction in the wellbore, works done ...
Estimation of Drilling Wastes – an Environmental Concern While Drilling Oil and Gas Wells
(2011-10-20)
Despite its numerous benefits the search and production of crude oil poses a lot of dangers to the environment. Among these include land, water and air pollution. Prominent among the major sources of E&P waste is drilling ...
Quantification of Uncertainty and Risks for Developing Marginal Fields in the Niger Delta
(2011-11-20)
The Niger Delta is Nigeria’s and Africa’s most prolific producing basin and has some untapped oil resources because of their marginality. The development of marginal oil field in Nigeria has now become an important strategic ...
Effects of Partial Completion on Productivity Index
(2011-12-12)
A new method for analysing productivity index (PI) on vertical wells is the main objective of this study. Well performance is often measured in terms of the well’s productivity which is dependent on a number of factors ...
An Approach to Identifying the Optimal Time to Initiate Stimulation Operations.
(2011-11-20)
This research describes the application of a production economic approach which attempts to quantity stimulation treatments performed on different wells undergoing a decline phase in their production and to obtain based ...
Directional Drilling Hydraulics Optimization using Conventional and Nanobased Drilling Fluids
(2013-05-25)
During drilling operations, special attention must be given to wellbore hydraulics to ensure functional, safe, economic, and environmentally responsible delivery of the well. The Hydraulics system shares common purposes ...
Pressure Transient Analysis of Hydraulically Fractured Wells in Multilayered Reservoirs
(2011-12-20)
New equations for bilinear, formation linear and pseudo-radial flow regimes in an infinite commingled fractured multilayered reservoir have been developed. The equations have been extended to Tiab’s Direct Synthesis Technique ...
Development of Generalized Well Semi-Analytical Coning Models
(2011-11-20)
Oil deposits are often found in association with a communicating gas or water zone. The production of the oil often leads to the coning of water or gas. This dynamic interaction can be captured by a properly detailed ...
Quantifying Incremental Oil Production and Economics of using Intelligent Completion as a Tool for Reservoir Management
(2013-05-25)
Huge amount of hydrocarbon in place is left unrecovered. Integrated reservoir management, in addition to the use of new technologies improves hydrocarbon recovery. Intelligent completion is one of the technologies which ...
