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 ...

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 ...

The Niger Delta is Nigeria’s and Africa’s most prolific producing basin and has some untapped oil resources because of their marginality. The development of marginal oil field in Nigeria has now become an important strategic ...

Huge amount of hydrocarbon in place is left unrecovered. Integrated reservoir management, in addition to the use of new technologies improves hydrocarbon recovery. Intelligent completion is one of the technologies which ...

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 ...

Increasing oil recovery has been one of the issues enlisted for attention in oil producing countries around the world for past decades. So many forms of oil recovery techniques have been considered; infill drilling of new ...

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 ...

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 ...
