Oil reservoir engineering

Recent studies have shown that decreasing the salinity and varying the ionic composition of the water that is injected into the reservoir alters crude oil/brine/rock interaction and improves recovery. Several laboratory studies have been conducted and are underway, while a few p…

Production and injection in long horizontal wells pose many challenges to operating companies right from drilling, production optimization, flow assurance to reservoir management. Horizontal wells are subject to ineffective well clean up, non-uniform stimulation and difficulties…

Microporosity is a key parameter to estimate the total porosity system in carbonate reservoirs, and its impact is significant in reservoir characterization, such as defining the accurate original distribution of hydrocarbons in place (STOIP) and the relationship between permeabi…
