This research focuses on building a dynamic reservoir model based on a 3D static model provided by Akakus Oil Operations company to study the performance of a multilayer oil reservoir named O-field located in the southeastern part of block NC-115 of Marzuq Basin in Libya. The 3D…
This dissertation consists of two major parts: Firstly, experimental investigation of four major shale softening mechanisms and quantifications of structural parameters. Secondly, numerical simulations of nano-scale flow behaviors using the previous experiments determined parame…
Linear elastic theory is the most widely used theory to be applied to wellbore stability analysis for its simplicity and convenience. It assumes that rocks behave as a linear elastic material and ignores the pore pressure effect, what is not in agreement with the mechanical prop…
Heavy Oil Recovery is gaining much popularity because of huge consumption of oil in the modern industry. Main concern in the extraction of heavy oil is its high viscosity. Heating heavy oil by different electrical means has come out to be a promising solution for viscosity reduc…
Adsorption is a well-established unit operation in chemical process industries utilizing variety of adsorbents having varied adsorption characteristics. The present work attempts to utilize date palms pits as a suitable precursor for preparation of porous carbons with phosphoric…
The intent of this study is to generate synthetic Geomechanical Logs for a specific Marcellus Shale asset using Artificial Intelligence and Data mining Technology. Geomechanical Distributions (Map and Volume) for the entire Marcellus Shale asset was completed. In order to accomp…
This work proposes new optimization techniques, either gradient-based or derivative-free, to improve the performance of the production optimization step in the closed-loop reservoir management framework in terms of computational cost and the ultimate objective function result. T…
Over the last two decades, the demand for the energy worldwide had increased which had led to the increase in price of the hydrocarbon which is the major source of energy. However, the discovery of gigantic conventional reservoirs had reduced which has led to the dependence on t…
Characteristics of the giant Thamama reservoir of ADNOC concession reveals that it could be an ideal candidate for surfactant enhanced oil recovery project. With known oil wetting characteristics of this carbonate (limestone with minor dolomite) formation and capillary trapping …
Smart waterflooding is an emerging and one of the most economic and environmentally safe enhanced oil recovery techniques. Smart waterflooding helps to improve oil recovery by lowering the salinity and/or controlling ion composition of the injected water. It is a promising candi…
Laboratory rock testing plays a key role in temporary rock mechanics both for rock classification and for engineering application. In the oil industry high quality rock property data are essential for a wide range of applications such as wellbore stability, hydraulic fracturing,…
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…
Due to advances in computer technology, geo-scientists are increasingly able to build reservoir models which can incorporate significant geological details. It is not unusual to find geological models which contain millions of cells. Flow simulating such models is still a challe…
Arising trend in the average earth temperature and its consequences in the climate changes have worried scientists, researchers and governments all around the world. It is believed that anthropogenic greenhouse gases are responsible for the most of the observed temperature incre…
Ion-engineered or smart waterflooding is a recent buzzword among the EOR technologies due to the promising laboratory results and a few positive pilot results reported from different parts of the world. In most cases multivalent anions (SO4 2-, PO4 3- etc.) are mixed with inject…
Asphaltenes are the heaviest and most polarizable fractions of crude oils. As a result, they have a high tendency to aggregate and flocculate under certain conditions. Asphaltene precipitation and subsequent deposition in production tubings and topside facilities present signifi…
Relative permeability is a key factor in all kinds of multi-phase flow performance and reservoir engineering calculations in which it has a great influence in the full field development performance and optimum scheme selection. Accordingly, the accuracy of relative permeability …
Asphaltene deposition is a potential major production constraint in several carbonate reservoirs in the UAE, Middle East. The negative effects of asphaltene include plugging of reservoir formation, wellbore, tubing and surface production facilities and causing shutdown of certai…
