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 ...
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 ...
Material Balance Application for Brownfield Development
(2016-06-12)
The need to re-develop one of the Brown fields located in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria was necessitated by the fact that there are still three undeveloped reservoirs in the field. A total of six stacked reservoirs, A100 ...
Artificial Neural Network for Diagnosis & Mitigation of Water Production
(2016-06-12)
From the inception of the oil and gas industry, water production has always been an aching problem for various operators. Throughout the productive life of a field, oil production is often accompanied with some amount of ...
Optimization of Strategies for Natural Gas Utilization: Case Study of the Niger Delta
(2010-12-12)
Nigeria is endowed with huge proven gas reserves estimated to be 184 trillion cubic feet (Tcf). It ranks as the 7th holder of natural gas reserves in the world, and the largest in Africa. Nigeria also flares more natural ...
Building and Ranking of Geostatistical Petroleum Reservoir Models
(2010-12-12)
Techniques in Geostatistics are increasingly being used to generate reservoir models and quantify uncertainty in reservoir properties. This is achieved through the construction of multiple realizations to capture the ...
Diagnostic Plots for Analysis of Water Production and Reservoir Performance (A Case Study)
(2010-12-12)
The research is aimed at the understanding of the various diagnostic plots for the analysis of water production that are available as well as the application of these methods in a case study. It also aimed at the establishment ...
An Approach to Stimulation Candidate Selection and Optimization
(2010-11-15)
Well stimulation consists of several methods used for enhancing the natural producing ability of the reservoir when production rate declines. A de tailed literature review of some of the well published stimulation models ...
Ioptimizing Field Performance using Injection Efficiency from Streamline-Based Workflow
(2010-12-12)
Waterflooding is one of the most common secondary recovery mechanisms available for improving oil recovery from known accumulations. Due to the limitation of available water for injection, there's a need to optimize the ...
Waterflood Optimization using Streamline Simulation
(2011-12-12)
Waterflooding is a secondary recovery process in which water compatible with the reservoir of interest is injected into the reservoir to displace residual oil. The goal of waterflood management is to maximize oil recovery ...
