Petrophysical Evaluation of Flow units of the Agbada-Akata Formations in the Niger Delta
(2016-06-16)
Clastic reservoirs may be heterogeneous and exhibit lateral and vertical variations in porosity and permeability. Therefore, the spatial distribution of the petrophysical properties within the reservoirs is important to ...
Critical Evaluation of the Correlations used for Estimating Geomechanical Properties for the Niger Delta
(2016-06-16)
The study area which is the Niger Delta Province is predominantly an unconsolidated sandstone terrain, the sand grains are friable suggesting the expectation of some geomechanical problems while developing hydrocarbon ...
Identification of Closed Perforations and Damaged Sections of Horizontal Wells in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs, using Well Test Analysis
(2016-07-16)
The use of horizontal wells with zonal isolations is a common completion practice in the oil and gas industry to check for very significant production challenges such as wellbore damage/skin, early water breakthrough and ...
Application of Tiab’s Direct Synthesis Technique to Injectivity and fall-off Pressure Transient Test under Non-Isothermal condition
(2016-06-16)
In this study, we present a new analytical solution method that accurately corrects the non-isothermal effects from injection and fall-off tests. The derivative of these solutions is applied to develop the Tiab's Direct ...
Implication of Void Prediction in the Determination of Pressure Gradient in Vertical Pipes
(2016-06-16)
This research work mainly investigates the implication of void prediction in the estimation of total pressure gradient in vertical pipes for multiphase flow systems. Experimental data was collected for a multiphase flow ...
Development of a Gas Condensate Reservoir: Case Study of the Niger Delta
(2016-06-16)
Gas condensate reservoirs are single phase at the initial condition. It changes to multiphase when the reservoir conditions are located between the critical point and the cricondentherm of the reservoir in the phase envelope. ...
An Approach to Waterflood Optimization: Case Study
(2016-06-16)
Waterflooding is the most dominant secondary oil recovery method and its popularity is mainly due to the general availability of water, the relative ease of injecting water, the ability of water to spread easily through ...
Critical Evaluation of Infill Well Placement and Optimization of Well Spacing Using the Particle Swarm Algorithm
(2016-06-16)
Optimizing the placement of new wells and well spacing is a vital issue in oil field development. Drilling infill wells is one way to maximize the recovery of oil from reservoirs. The problem of infill well placement is ...
Effect of Pipe Inclination Angle on Gas–Liquid Flow Using Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) Data
(2014-12-12)
Pipes that make up oil and gas wells are not vertical but could be inclined at any angle between vertical and the horizontal which is a significant technology of modern drilling-Experimental data on time varying liquid ...
The Study of Hydrodynamics of Slug Flow in 10 Degrees Inclined Pipe Using Electrical Capacitance Tomography Data
(2014-12-15)
Slug flow along slightly inclined horizontal pipes is a major problem in gas-liquid transportation, it is very pronounced in chemical, oil and gas processing industries. In reality, there is no absolute horizontal pipe due ...
