Analysis of Real Option Approaches for Oilfield Valuations
(AUST, 2019-06-10)
More than three decades have passed since Stewart Myers coined the term “real options” and introduced this new paradigm into the investment science. In the following years a number of publications in both the finance and ...
Selection of the Right Hydraulic Fracturing Fluid for Unconventional Reservoir Engineering
(AUST, 2019-07-12)
Unconventional resources are of major importance to the oil and gas industry due to its enormousness, however, due to the low permeability of these resources, there is a need for hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing ...
Multiphase Flow Assurance in Subsea Tiebacks
(AUST, 2019-06-15)
Gas hydrate is one of the major plagues of gas wells in the industry, capital costs to prevent hydrate blockage in pipelines is an dissociation temperatures for the operating pressures. The model developed was tested on ...
Techno Economic Analysis of Heavy Oil Field in Nigeria
(AUST, 2019-06-14)
The main challenge of heavy oil (bitumen) is the high viscosity making it not flow easily to production wells at normal reservoir conditions. Thermal recovery methods are used to exploit heavy oil reservoirs, where oil ...
Feasibility Analysis of Commercial Barite Production in Nassarawa State Nigeria
(AUST, 2019-06-10)
Nigeria is blessed with mineral resources but unfortunately many have been poorly exploited. This has resulted to spending huge sums of money to import these minerals rather than taking advantage of available local natural ...
Probability of Wellbore Failure and its Prediction Using Machine Learning
(AUST, 2019-06-09)
Wellbore instability (WI) is one of the major challenges experienced during drilling operations costing the oil and gas industry over $1 billion yearly. During the drilling, borehole breakout and drilling induced fractures ...
Commingled Production from stacked Reservoir
(AUST, 2019-06-10)
In recent time, one of the ways of optimizing hydrocarbon production is commingling production from stacked reservoirs. Commingled production refers to the production of hydrocarbon from two or more separate zones through ...
Investigating the Behaviour of Two-Phase Vertical Upward and Downward flows in Large Diameter Pipe
(AUST, 2019-06-15)
The understanding of the behaviour of vertical upward and downward two-phase flow in large diameter pipes is very important in chemical, petroleum and nuclear sector where safety is of utmost concern. This work helps to ...
Evaluation of Optimal Position of ESP for Optimum Rate in Horizontal Well
(AUST, 2019-07-13)
In this project, the optimum position of ESP is evaluated for horizontal wells. The inflow and outflow performance of the horizontal well has been estimated using Joshi’s steady-state approximation for horizontal flow and ...
