Comparative Analysis of Limited and Fully Compositional Simulation of a Niger Delta Gas-Condensate Reservoir
(2021-06-23)
Numerical simulators estimate the recovery volumes and the volume of fluids in-place in the reservoir as a function of time and space by solving complex partial differential fluid flow equations. For gas condensate reservoirs, ...
Utilization of Machine Learning for Flow Assurance in the Oil and Gas Sector: a Focus on Annular Flow Prediction
(2021-07-12)
There is insufficient literature for annular flow and applications of Machine Learning in the petroleum industry; thus, this thesis is centred on annular flow prediction. Liquid holdup and flow behaviour during annular ...
The Tuning of the Todd and Longstaff Mixing Parameter in Limited Compositional Simulation to Optimize Recovery from a Gas Condensate Reservoir
(2021-07-16)
A gas condensate reservoir is a type of gas reservoir that exists when the reservoir temperature is between the critical temperature and the cricondentherm. Compositional simulators are used to simulate these types of ...

Evaluation of Machine Learning Tools for Predicting Sand Production
(2021-03-12)
Data analytics has only recently picked the interest of the oil and gas industry as it has made data visualization much simpler, faster, and cost-effective. This is driven by the promising innovative techniques in developing ...
Analytical Solution to Pressure Transient Analysis in Non-Newtonian/Newtonian Fluids Composite Reservoirs
(AUST, 2021-04-03)
During polymer flooding in the reservoir using shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids, an interface exists between the in-situ Newtonian crude in the reservoir and the injected polymer solution. This work examines application ...
Feasibility Analysis of Ethane and Flue Gas Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery With a Niger Delta Case Study
(AUST, 2021-05-13)
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using ethane gas or flue gas has proven to be successful in some regions of the world, but these methods have not been implemented in the Niger Delta. This work investigates the technical and ...
Injectivity as a Critical Factor in The Performance of Water Flooding Operation
(AUST, 2021-04-02)
Petroleum exploration, development and operation usually involves large capital investments that requires maximum reserves be recovered, so as to compensate for initial investment efforts. To achieve such a goal, where the ...
