Effect of Pipe Inclination Angle on Gas–Liquid Flow Using Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) Data
(2014-12-12)
Pipes that make up oil and gas wells are not vertical but could be inclined at any angle between vertical and the horizontal which is a significant technology of modern drilling-Experimental data on time varying liquid ...
The Study of Hydrodynamics of Slug Flow in 10 Degrees Inclined Pipe Using Electrical Capacitance Tomography Data
(2014-12-15)
Slug flow along slightly inclined horizontal pipes is a major problem in gas-liquid transportation, it is very pronounced in chemical, oil and gas processing industries. In reality, there is no absolute horizontal pipe due ...
Hydrodynamics Behaviour of Slug Flow in 80 0 off the Horizontal Pipe using Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) Data
(2014-12-12)
This study presents an investigation of the hydrodynamics behaviour of slug flow in an inclined (80 degree inclination) and 67 mm internal diameter pipe. The study provides a more rudimentary explanation into the physical ...
Integrated Petrophysical Evaluation of Turbiditic Sands in Niger Delta Basin
(2014-12-12)
Large quantities of petroleum resources in the Niger Delta province are confined to unconsolidated turbiditic and silici-clastic rocks. These rocks are usually associated with high volumes of shale. The high volumes of ...
Enhanced Oil Recovery in High Viscous Reservoir using the Thermal Process
(2014-12-12)
New sources of energy should be found to relieve the high demand of energy. Even though heavy oil and bitumen are difficult to produce due to their high viscosity which can be reduced by heating, with increased oil price, ...
Evaluation of in-fill Well Placement and Optimization Using Experimental Design and Genetic Algorithm
(2014-12-12)
Determination of optimal well locations for infill drilling is a challenging task because engineering and geologic variables affecting reservoir performance are often nonlinearly correlated and have some degree of uncertainty ...
Comparative Economics of Petroleum Production Optimization Techniques
(2014-12-15)
Hydrocarbon production in the petroleum industry is often constrained by reservoir heterogeneity, deliverability and capacity of surface facilities, also optimization technique in the petroleum industry requires execution ...
Mechanistic Models for Predicting Sand Production: a Case Study of Niger Delta Wells
(2014-12-12)
Niger Delta Province is predominantly a friable, unconsolidated sandstone terrain suggesting the expectation of sand production while developing hydrocarbon reserves in such terrain. In this study, a simple and easy-to-use ...
Detailed Analysis of Pressure Drop in a Large Diameter Vertical Pipe
(2014-12-15)
With the ever increasing need to optimize production, the accurate understanding of the mechanics of multi-phase flow and its effect on the pressure drop along the oil-well flow string is becoming more pertinent. The ...
Effect of Linear Drift on Radial Transport of Tracer in Homogeneous Porous Media
(2014-12-12)
Analytical models can be valuable tools to investigate solute transport in porous media. The application of analytical solutions is limited by the perception that they are too cumbersome to derive while their implementation ...
