An Experimental Model to Predict and Control Oilfield Emulsion Tightness: a Novel Approach
(2010-12-12)
Formation of water-in-oil emulsions are among the major challenges encountered by production and surface facilities engineers during the recovery of crude oil, especially in a large multi-wells system in both onshore and ...
Optimization of Strategies for Natural Gas Utilization: Case Study of the Niger Delta
(2010-12-12)
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 ...
Prevention of Hydrates in Pipelines using Hybrid Thermodynamic Inhibitors
(2010-12-12)
Chemical method is the most efficient and flexible method of hydrate control in offshore operations. In recent times, polymers and surfactants have been used to influence the kinetics of hydrate growth and coagulation. ...
Building and Ranking of Geostatistical Petroleum Reservoir Models
(2010-12-12)
Techniques in Geostatistics are increasingly being used to generate reservoir models and quantify uncertainty in reservoir properties. This is achieved through the construction of multiple realizations to capture the ...
Diagnostic Plots for Analysis of Water Production and Reservoir Performance (A Case Study)
(2010-12-12)
The research is aimed at the understanding of the various diagnostic plots for the analysis of water production that are available as well as the application of these methods in a case study. It also aimed at the establishment ...
Effect of Gas-Oil-Ratio on Oil Production
(2010-11-15)
Maximum production from an oil well can be achieved through proper selection of tubing size. The selection of optimum tubing size must be evaluated when completing a well in any type of reservoir especially solution gas ...
An Approach to Stimulation Candidate Selection and Optimization
(2010-11-15)
Well stimulation consists of several methods used for enhancing the natural producing ability of the reservoir when production rate declines. A de tailed literature review of some of the well published stimulation models ...
Comparative Analysis of Reserves Determination Techniques in Overpressured Gas Reservoirs
(2010-12-15)
Conventional methods used in determining initial gas-in-place and reserves for a dry gas reservoir entails the use of P/z vs cumulative production data. In a normally pressured gas reservoir, the only important production ...
Effect of Pipe Eccentricity on Hole Cleaning and Wellbore Hydraulics
(2010-12-12)
The consideration of pipe eccentricity and its impact on hole cleaning has not been widely reported in literature. Pipe eccentricity affects the average velocity of the drilling fluid in the annulus which is one of the ...
Well Performance in Solution Gas Drive Reservoirs
(2010-12-12)
The practical application of various production parameters and relations to predict the well performance analysis of a solution gas drive reservoir is the primary objective of this study. These parameters include: IPR ...
