Analytical Solution to Pressure Transient Analysis in Non-Newtonian/Newtonian Fluids Composite Reservoirs
(AUST, 2021-04-03)During polymer flooding in the reservoir using shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids, an interface exists between the in-situ Newtonian crude in the reservoir and the injected polymer solution. This work examines application ...

Comparative Analysis of Limited and Fully Compositional Simulation of a Niger Delta Gas-Condensate Reservoir
(2021-06-23)Numerical simulators estimate the recovery volumes and the volume of fluids in-place in the reservoir as a function of time and space by solving complex partial differential fluid flow equations. For gas condensate reservoirs, ...

Effects of Partial Completion on Productivity Index
(2011-12-12)A new method for analysing productivity index (PI) on vertical wells is the main objective of this study. Well performance is often measured in terms of the well’s productivity which is dependent on a number of factors ...

Enhanced Oil Recovery in High Viscous Reservoir using the Thermal Process
(2014-12-12)New sources of energy should be found to relieve the high demand of energy. Even though heavy oil and bitumen are difficult to produce due to their high viscosity which can be reduced by heating, with increased oil price, ...

Power-Law Fluid Pressure Behaviour in Homogenous and Naturally Fractured Reservoir with Spherical Flow
(2013-04-30)Studies have revealed most wells are usually completed with limited or restricted-entry and it’s often characterized with spherical flow behaviour. High viscosity crude by their nature may also exhibit Non-Newtonian flow ...

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 ...
