Pressure Transient Analysis in Anisotropic Composite Reservoirs – A Three Dimensional Semi-Analytical Approach
(2011-12-20)
A composite reservoir is one with multiple lateral compartments; each having distinct rock and fluid properties separated by geologic discontinuities. Geologically, composite reservoirs separated by leaky faults are rife ...
Deepwater Petroleum Exploration and Production in the Gulf of Guinea: Comparative Analysis of Petroleum Fiscal Systems Performance
(2011-12-12)
Petroleum Fiscal System (PFS) is a major determinant of investment decision in the exploration and production of oil and gas in any country. It basically describes the profitability relationship between the host government ...
Implications of Production Decline Patterns, Cost Depreciation Methods and Fiscal Regimes on Offshore Profitability in Nigeria
(2011-12-20)
Upstream petroleum industry remains one of the most prolific industries in terms of technology and risk capital transfer. Consequently, governments all over the world try to formulate political as well as economic structures ...
Development of Breakthrough Time Correlations for Coning in Bottom Water Supported Reservoirs
(2011-12-12)
This research work mainly investigates the development and the behavior of cones (both water and gas cones) in oil reservoirs supported by strong aquifer, and from which analytical correlations are developed for quick ...
Modeling and Simulation of Reservoir Formation Damage due to Chemical Precipitation and Particulate Processes
(2011-11-20)
Formation damage is an undesirable operational and economic problem that can occur in many phases of field development including drilling, completion, workover, production, stimulation, waterflooding and enhanced oil ...
Practical Approaches for Solving Lost Circulation Problems while Drilling
(2011-12-12)
As the demand for petroleum resources increases, drilling of oil and gas wells are often carried out in challenging and hostile environments. Among the top ten drilling challenges facing the oil and gas industry today is ...
Evaluating Uncertainty in the Volumes of Fluids in Place in an Offshore Niger Delta Field
(2011-12-12)
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the uncertainty in the volumes of fluids in place in Fault Block A (Segment 3) of the G-1 Sands in the OND field located offshore Niger Delta. The evaluation was performed in three ...
Investigating Horizontal-Well Interference Test Applications
(2011-11-20)
One of the major challenges in reservoir engineering is the accurate description of the reservoir. This description is essential in all aspects of petroleum
engineering, and is typically achieved through reservoir ...
Vertical-Horizontal Permeability Relationships in Stress and Non Stress Sensitive Reservoirs
(2011-12-12)
One of the important petrophysical parameter in reservoir description is the permeability distribution in a given reservoir. It is well known that most reservoir are heterogeneous in nature and homogeneous ones been the ...
