Two fluid regions are usually created during either water or polymer injection into an oil reservoir for enhanced oil recovery. The two fluid regions create a composite reservoir system that requires analytical solution ...

The goal of an oil field development project is to accelerate the hydrocarbon production and maximize recovery at the lowest cost. Optimizing the production of oil from thin oil rim reservoirs poses a major challenge in ...

Nigeria ranks among the top ten petroleum producers in the world with over eighty petroleum Investors in its upstream sector. This creates an enormous challenge for the upstream institutions’ managers especially in the ...

Globally, 30–50% of hydrocarbon volumes in silici-clastic reservoirs are contained within the thin-bedded pay. In the Niger Delta deep water assets, over 30% of in-place volumes are found within the complex turbidites. The ...

Wax is often precipitated out of solution in waxy crude oil found in most oil reservoirs around the world, especially as the production of oil and gas has moved from on shore to more challenging terrains offshore. Waxes ...

Uncertainty analysis of flow performance predictions involves identifying significant reservoir parameters impacting the flow response. Uncertainty analysis often requires conducting large number of reservoir simulation ...
