As reservoirs become more complex and drilling operations more expensive, the need to reduce both inefficiencies and costs for constructing and analyzing high quality static models is essential. The effective and efficient ...

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 ...

Waterflooding is one of the most common secondary recovery mechanisms available for improving oil recovery from known accumulations. Due to the limitation of available water for injection, there's a need to optimize the ...

Reservoir characterization has long been identified as the ultimate process employed in detailed description of a reservoir in order to properly book the reserve and also to optimally place the wells and drain the reservoir. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Appropriate selection of rheological models is important for hydraulic calculations of pressure loss prediction and hole cleaning efficiency of drilling fluids. Power law, Bingham-Plastic Herschel-Bulkley models are the ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many Institutions offer on-line courses to people from all around the world. Learning Management Systems provides a convenient learning environment for on-line courses. Each learner has individual needs and characteristics ...

The Java programming language is widely used in industry and business. Therefore, academic institutions worldwide include Java learning as a basic part of their Computer Science and Engineering curricula. At the same time, ...

The Opportunistic network is an interesting development in the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) environment. It has no end-to-end connectivity among nodes. Unlike MANETs, the nodes in Opportunistic network are independent on ...

Traffic simulation has become one of the most used approaches for traffic analysis in support of the design and evaluation of traffic systems. Although traffic flow models have been applied for almost a century to describe, ...

System control has grown from manual control where humans sense the environment, analyse the result and determine control actions to semi-automated control. In semi-automated control sensing is done by sensing devices and ...

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 ...

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 ...

The production of formation sand is a problem associated with most oil deposits in the world. Major Sand production effects affect safety, well or field economics and continuous production. This has prompted the continued ...
