The essential resource to an integrated approach to reservoir modelling by highlighting both the input of data and the modelling results Reservoir Modelling offers a comprehensive guide to the procedures and workflow for building a 3-D model. Designed to be practical, the princi…
Economic development relies critically on infrastructure development. Yet, without careful planning, the services provided by hydropower facilities and dams are at risk. Ensuring the long-term resilience of these critical infrastructure facilities requires early and consistent a…
Climate change and population growth have influenced social and physical water scarcity in different regions. Climate change is expected to alter precipitation patterns and ultimately the hydrological cycle. Accordingly, water reservoirs, as one of the fundamental elements used …
The use of gas in alkaline-surfactant flooding (Alkaline-Surfactant-Gas (ASG) process) can be an alternative to the use of polymer, especially in carbonate reservoirs that generally have low permeability and contain vugs and fractures, for improving the displacement efficiency. …
A 3-D seismic survey covering an area of 128 square kilometers and a set of well logs from a new oil field in Central Arabia were utilized to study a selected geologic section and to evaluate the detectability of fluid-anomaly signal. The zone of interest includes the Permian Kh…
Reservoir porosity controls the strategies for reservoir management. Porosity is the primary key to a reliable reservoir model. The most economic method of evaluating reservoir porosity on a foot-by-foot basis is from core and well log data analysis. Lateral reservoir porosity i…
The use of a system of detention reservoirs distributed across a region has been gaining interest as an innovative way to manage riverine flooding. An open problem is the role played by the spatial configuration of detention projects in regulating the flow. Possible locations fo…
This study shows that the Belayim reservoir in the Badri field, Gulf of Suez, has the potential of producing more oil than expected from the last field study conducted by its operator, Gupco. In 1993, Gupco expected to be able to produce a maximum of 145 MMBO. This study shows t…
A 2-D radial compositional simulator was used to investigate the effect of liquid drop out on the productivity of a rich gas condensate reservoir. A seven layer reservoir model was constructed based on well logs and core analysis data. A two phase relative permeability model was…
This doctoral dissertation constitutes a reservoir characterization and tertiary recovery improvement of the Weber Formation, northwest Colorado. The Weber formation was deposited in an ancient desert environment and consists of intertonguing eolian dunes and fluvial deposits. S…
