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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The effect of liquid flow rate, pipe size (diameter) and pipe orientation (inclination) on liquid hold-up was investigated. Liquid flow rate between 500 STB/day and 5000 STB/day was studied. An oil of 25 ̊API at an average ...

This project lies at the interface between Nonlinear Functional Analysis, unconstrained Optimization and Critical point theory. It concerns mainly the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz's Mountain Pass Theorem which is a min-max theorem ...

This project is mainly focused on the theory of Monotone (increasing) Operators and its applications. Monotone operators play an important role in many branches of Mathematics such as Convex Analysis, Optimization Theory, ...

This project is at the interface between Nonlinear Functional Analysis, Convex Analysis and Di erential Equations. It concerns one of the most powerful methods often used to solve optimization problems with constraints; ...

This project is at the interface between Analysis, Natural Sciences and Modeling Theory. It deals with Floquet Theory (also re ered to as Floquet-Lyapunov theory) which is the main tool of the theory of periodic ordinary ...

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 ...

Solution gas drive reservoirs are characterized by rapid and continuous decline of reservoir pressure. This rapid and continuous decline of reservoir pressure causes direct decline of reservoir performance at early stages ...

Hydraulic fracturing is an effective well stimulation technique which is introduced in the 1950s and widely used in the oil and gas industry. Most of the works about hydraulic fracture assumed that the fracture is symmetric ...

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 ...

Failure of offshore oil and gas pipelines occurs under certain conditions due to some applied mechanical forces. These conditions constitute a potential threat to the integrity of in-service life span of the pipelines ...

The study explores the investigation of the chemical composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of steel and cement mortar used in reinforced concrete. The compositions and mechanical properties of the locally ...

Many building collapsed cases have been reported throughout the West African regions. It is recorded that during some of these subsidences, many lives are lost and the vast majority end up in hospitals and clinics with ...

Like any industry, the economic success of the oil and gas industry can be no swifter than its success in corrosion control/prevention. Some oil and gas industries operate in hostile offshore environment that harbors ...

Wearing of mining tools leads to high replacement costs, machine downtime and loss of business opportunities. This work was however, aimed at improving the wear resistance of AISI 1065 and 1070 proeutectoid steels used for ...
