Waterflooding is the most dominant secondary oil recovery method and its popularity is mainly due to the general availability of water, the relative ease of injecting water, the ability of water to spread easily through ...

Reservoir development planning and well placement significantly affect hydrocarbon recovery. Therefore, strategic well placement and development techniques are essential to minimize the risk of unproductive drilling and ...

Optimizing the placement of new wells and well spacing is a vital issue in oil field development. Drilling infill wells is one way to maximize the recovery of oil from reservoirs. The problem of infill well placement is ...

The study area which is the Niger Delta Province is predominantly an unconsolidated sandstone terrain, the sand grains are friable suggesting the expectation of some geomechanical problems while developing hydrocarbon ...

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 ...

Uncertainty analysis of flow performance predictions involves identifying significant reservoir parameters impacting the flow response. Uncertainty analysis often requires conducting large number of reservoir simulation ...
