Application of Minimum Curvature method to Well-path Calculations
(2009-12-04)
A major drawback of directional and horizontal well drilling is the numerous complex computations required to be done while planning a well. These computations are very stressful and time consuming especially when done ...
Pressure Analysis of a Well With an Inclined Hydraulic Fracture in a Naturally Fractured Reservoir
(2009-12-15)
Hydraulic fracturing has been an effective technique to stimulate damaged wells or wells producing from low-permeability formation. It has been established that the orientation of a hydraulic fracture is perpendicular to ...
A Review of the Rheological Effects of Power Law Drilling Fluids on Cuttings Transportation in Non-Vertical Boreholes
(2009-12-15)
Cuttings transportation during in non-vertical boreholes is necessary for oil and gas wells. Adequate cuttings removal from a well in drilling is critical for cost-effective drilling as high annular cuttings buildup often ...
Review of Application of Pressure Derivative Concept to Multirate Tests
(2009-12-15)
Pressure build-up data in low permeability reservoirs take too long and are usually of poor quality. A pressure buildup test is perhaps the most widely performed transient test. In pressure buildup test, a well which has ...
A Case Study of Natural Flow and Tubing String Design for a Water Drive Reservoir
(2009-12-15)
The design of natural flow and artificial lift tubing strings for the whole life of a water drive reservoir was carried out using data based on synthetic reservoir performance based on a material balance. The effects of ...
Theoretical Analysis of Gravity-Controlled Waterfloods
(2009-12-15)
The concept of dumpflooding is to flow water from a high pressure aquifer zone to a low pressure oil producing zone by natural force of gravity through a well connecting the two zones to enhance oil sweep into a producing ...
Semigroups of Linear Operators and Application to Differential Equations
(2009-12-08)
This work concerns one of the most important tools to solve well-posed problems in the theory of evolution equations (e.g di usion equation, wave equations, ...) and in the theory of stochastic process, namely the semigroups ...
