Working Guide to Reservoir Engineering

The central role that Reservoir engineers play in a field's development and planning cannot be overestimated. Recommending, the most appropriate and most cost effective reservoir depletion schemes has a great impact on a field's and ultimately a company's profitability. If done correctly, it will result in a windfall for the company but if done incorrectly or haphazardly, it will result in financial disaster. Working Guide to Reservoir Engineering is designed for technical professionals who need a "quick look up" reference for solving day-to-day engineering, management, and optimization problems. Basic and easy to use, this working guide provides those new to reservoir engineering a starting point for understanding the basics and going on to formulate effective workflow solutions. The book provides instruction on topics such as estimating reservoir reserves, enhances oil recovery methods, fluid movement and material balance and volumetric analysis.

Wellbore Stability

Wellbore stability 600 million to 1 billion dollars is the prevention of brittle failure or plastic deformation of the rock surrounding the wellbore due to mechanical stress or chemical imbalance. Prior to drilling, the mechanical stresses in the formation are less than the strength of the rock. The chemical action is also balanced, or occurring at a rate relative to geologic time (millions of years). Rocks under this balanced or near-balanced state are stable. After drilling, the rock surrounding the wellbore undergoes changes in tension, compression, and shear loads as the rock forming the core of the hole is removed. Chemical reactions also occur with exposure to the drilling fluid.

Upscaling multiphase flow in porous media

Traditional two-phase flow models use an algebraic relationship between capillary pressure and saturation. This relationship is based on measurements made under static conditions. However, this static relationship is then used to model dynamic conditions, and evidence suggests that the assumption of equilibrium between capillary pressure and saturation may not be be justified. Extended capillary pressure–saturation relationships have been proposed that include an additional term accounting for dynamic effects. In the present work we study some of the underlying pore-scale physical mechanisms that give rise to this so-called dynamic effect. The study is carried out with the aid of a simple bundle-of-tubes model wherein the pore space of a porous medium is represented by a set of parallel tubes. We perform virtual two-phase flow experiments in which a wetting fluid is displaced by a non-wetting fluid. The dynamics of fluid–fluid interfaces are taken into account. From these experiments, we extract information about the overall system dynamics, and determine coefficients that are relevant to the dynamic capillary pressure description. We find dynamic coefficients in the range of 102−103 kgm−1 s−1, which is in the lower range of experimental observations. We then analyze certain behavior of the system in terms of dimensionless groups, and we observe scale dependency in the dynamic coefficient. Based on these results, we then speculate about possible scale effects and the significance of the dynamic term.

Transport Phenomena in Porous media II

Transport phenomena in porous media continues to be an area of intensive research activity and this is primarily due to the fact that it plays an important role in a large variety of engineering and technological applications which span from the transport processes in biomechanical systems, such as blood flow in the pulmonary alveolar sheet, to the large scale circulation of brine in a geothermal reservoir. The acceleration in the progress in science and in the improvement in the design, efficiency and reliability of heat transfer equipment in power engineering, chemical, oil and gas industries are directly associated with the effective use of the modern tools of heat transfer analysis and measurement, predictive correlation equations, and with the sharing of the practical experience on the operation of all types of thermal equipment. This has caused a rapid expansion of research in diversified areas of heat transfer, including also porous media, and this has produced a huge amount of theoretical and experimental work.

The technology of artificial lift methods

“In October, 1859, Colonel Edwin Drake rigged up a pump to produce an oil and water mixture a distance of ten feet to the surface. It was the world’s first commercial oil well and the first use of artificial lift to commercially produce oil.” Today, 140 years later, pumps are employed in more than 80% of all artificial-lift wells.

When oil or gas is being produced the reservoir pressure reduces. At a certain point in time it can happen that the pressure in the reservoir becomes too low for production and artificial lift can be required. Artificial-lift methods fall into two groups, those that use pumps and those that use gas.

Features and add-on options By choosing from various add-on options, such as coalbed methane, gas field operations, reservoir coupling, EOR, multisegmented wells, and surface networks, ECLIPSE simulators can be tailored to your needs and greatly enhance the scope of your simulation studies.

The Price of a Pipeline

The answer was a pipeline. It would have to transport the oil 800 miles, to the port of Valdez. Valdez, though far south in the Gulf of Alaska, was the nearest ice-free port. There, oil could be loaded onto tankers and shipped to the rest of the United States. Oil companies rushed to create a plan. They faced many challenges: They had to construct a pipe system to withstand the dramatic Alaskan climate, as well as Alaska’s earthquakes. Oil would need to flow freely through the pipe. Since oil comes out of the ground hot, the heat generated in the pipe would need to be spread out. Heated pipes could harm the permafrost— a permanently frozen layer just below the surface of the ground. The oil companies were worried that if the permafrost melted, it could cause the pipe to sink and possibly break. The port of Valdez also had to be turned into a major shipping zone, capable of handling giant oil tankers.
