Modeling and Simulation of Reservoir Formation Damage due to Chemical Precipitation and Particulate Processes
(2011-11-20)
Formation damage is an undesirable operational and economic problem that can occur in many phases of field development including drilling, completion, workover, production, stimulation, waterflooding and enhanced oil ...
Practical Approaches for Solving Lost Circulation Problems while Drilling
(2011-12-12)
As the demand for petroleum resources increases, drilling of oil and gas wells are often carried out in challenging and hostile environments. Among the top ten drilling challenges facing the oil and gas industry today is ...
Evaluating Uncertainty in the Volumes of Fluids in Place in an Offshore Niger Delta Field
(2011-12-12)
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the uncertainty in the volumes of fluids in place in Fault Block A (Segment 3) of the G-1 Sands in the OND field located offshore Niger Delta. The evaluation was performed in three ...
Statistical Characterization of Performance of Biopolymer Drill-In Fluid for Different Rheological Models
(2010-11-15)
Appropriate selection of rheological models is important for hydraulic calculations of pressure loss prediction and hole cleaning efficiency of drilling fluids. Power law, Bingham-Plastic Herschel-Bulkley models are the ...
Investigating Horizontal-Well Interference Test Applications
(2011-11-20)
One of the major challenges in reservoir engineering is the accurate description of the reservoir. This description is essential in all aspects of petroleum
engineering, and is typically achieved through reservoir ...
Vertical-Horizontal Permeability Relationships in Stress and Non Stress Sensitive Reservoirs
(2011-12-12)
One of the important petrophysical parameter in reservoir description is the permeability distribution in a given reservoir. It is well known that most reservoir are heterogeneous in nature and homogeneous ones been the ...
Biodegradation and Recycling of Polyethylene into Composite Building Materials
(2015-07-19)
This work presents the results of experimental and theoretical studies of the biodegradation of polyethylene, recycling of polyethylene into strong and tough earth-based composite building materials and the statistical ...
Implantable Composite Devices for the Localized Treatment of Breast Cancer
(2015-06-15)
Current standard of care treatment modalities for early-stage breast cancer typically involve mastectomy or lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy to remove any residual cancer cells. Although mastectomy has a low ...
Statistical Data-Driven Models for Forecasting Production Performance with Uncertainty Analysis
(2014-12-20)
Data-driven analytical models are important tools employed in the petroleum industry to forecast production rates and reserves of petroleum assets. Studies have shown that existing rate forecasting models project future ...
