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.

Waterflooding

Waterflooding is an important method of improving recovery, but successful waterflood performance requires a sound design. This book begins with understanding the basic principles of immiscible displacement, then presents a systematic procedure for designing a waterflood. The emphasis is on fundamental concepts and their application in solving various waterflooding problems. Design procedures that can be prepared as small computer programs and selected computer subprograms for more complex designs are presented.

Contents: Microscopic efficiency of immiscible displacement • Macroscopic displacement efficiency of linear waterflood • Immiscible displacement in two dimensions: areal • Vertical displacement in linear and areal models • Waterflood design • The role of reservoir geology in the design and operation of waterfloods

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.

The Practice of Reservoir Engineering ( Revised Edition)

This revised edition presents a series of small text improvements throughout the book and a certain revision of the text of chapter 4 which was required to enable a better understanding of some physical explanations. H more important change was carried out in subchapter 5.9 in relation to "the examination of water drive performance", where an excellent demonstration for a new procedure was developed for two real field cases. All elements of design, such as injection pressure, oil rate, and recovery prediction are explailned in detail and illustrated with two field examples: one in the North Sea and another one in East Texas. The philosophy introduced by Laurie Dake in chapter 5.9 concerns the key to understanding the reservoir fractional flow technique by the appreciation that the Buckley-Leverett theory is dimensionless and thus represents the simplest statement of the material balance for water drive.

The Finite Element Method in the Static and Dynamic Deformation and Consolidation of Porous Media

Our first text on this subject 'The Finite Element Method in the Deformation and Consolidation of Porous Media', was published ten years ago and has been out of print for much of the past decade. It was the first book of its kind, despite the many available texts on groundwater flow through deforming porous media. The topic has been covered, albeit briefly, in many texts on geomechanics, petroleum engineering and finite element methods. However, there still exists no other book which covers all the mechanical and numerical aspects of flow in porous media in such detail.

In the intervening period there was a rapid expansion in the research and practical applications of these types of problem, which has prompted us to write this new and thoroughly updated version. It contains not only the results of research carried out at our two institutions but also reports on the work done under various European research programmes, e.g. Science (Greco Geomateriaux), TEMPUS PHARE (with the Technical University of Lodz and the Polish Academy of Sciences IPPT-PAN), and in particular Human Capital and Mobility, where an Alliance of Laboratories in Europe for Research and Technology (ALERT) was created, concentrating on research in geomaterials (soil, rock and concrete). Both our institutions were partners in this network, and the scientific exchanges proved to be extremely fruitful. Also, collaborative work carried out with the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, under the BRINORD agreement, contributed to a better understanding of petroleum reservoir subsidence.

Seismic stratigraphy, basin analysis and reservoir characterization

The first initial draft on seismic stratigraphy was compiled at the ENSG in Nancy and it formed the starting point for this publication. The students appreciated the hand-out written from a work experience perspective. They enjoyed the practical exercises that formed integral part of the course. One memorable post-doc training session was given on board of the MS “Atalante” of Ifremer, where Prof Dr. J.P. Rehault and his team conducted his oceanographic research. French seamen superstition stipulates that the word “lapin” should never be pronounced on board of a ship and the awkward expression “animal with the long ears” is conscientiously used instead. During our voyage the weather conditions were excellent till the day there was “rabbit” on the menu. The same morning our cook asked me whether I was superstitious and added immediately that the captain certainly was. I answered “No, of course not”, but I must admit that my reply was a bit hasty. That day, close to the Azores archipelago, the wind force suddenly increased and high seas were attacking our Ifremer research vessel. At the same time the magnetometer failed and it was decided to haul the measuring device in, to submit it to a detailed inspection. The tool was carefully examined and found nothing wrong, it was put over-board again the next day. Surprisingly it functioned superbly until the end of our journey and nobody really knew what had been wrong with it in the first place. It shows that sometimes the mysteries of the sea are indeed impenetrable.

Rock Fractures and Fluid Flow Contemporary Understanding and Applications

At its meeting in June 1990, the U.S. National Committee for Rock Mechanics (USNCRM), a standing committee of the National Research Council (NRC), identified rock fractures as a subject of great concern to the rock mechanics community. The USNCRM proposed that the NRC undertake a study to review characterization and fluid flow in rock fractures. The Committee on Fracture Characterization and Fluid Flow was appointed by the NRC in April 1991 and met for the first time in May 1991. The committee membership represents many of the disciplines concerned with rock fractures and fluid flow, including rock mechanics, hydrogeology, hydrofractures, geophysics, geology, geostatistics, civil engineering, and seismology. The committee met six times over the course of this study to debate, define, and develop this report.

Rhum Field - Rhum petrophysical reservoir evaluation

The Rhum Field contains high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) dry gas in late Jurassic thinly-bedded turbidite sands. The sands are informally named as the Rhum Sand and belong to the J74 to J62 sequences. The field has only three well control points: 3/29 – 1, 3/29 – 2 and 3/29a – 4. 3/29 – 1 encountered sands below Cretaceous mudstones that are of inferred late Jurassic age but cannot be dated conclusively. The well took a gas kick, was not logged across the reservoir, and was terminated 3 metres into the sand. In 3/29 – 2 the entire 148-metre gross thickness Rhum Sand reservoir was gas-bearing. The well was not tested because suitable HPHT test equipment was not developed at the time of drilling (1977). Only two valid Repeat Formation Tester (RFT) pressure points were obtained. A single 14-metre core was cut in a thinly-interbedded sand interval. A basic gamma ray-density-resistivity-sonic log suite was obtained. Core indicated that the reservoir was a thinly-bedded turbidite sequence. 3/29a – 4, drilled in 2000, encountered 191 metres of gross Rhum reservoir, drilled through a gas-water contact, and was successfully tested. 93 metres of core were cut, out of 191 metres of reservoir (nearly half the entire reservoir sequence). In order to resolve and quantify reservoir quality in the thinly-bedded sequence, a comprehensive suite of log and pressure data was acquired.
