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.

Reservoir Simulation

Reservoir simulation models are used by oil and gas companies in the development of new fields. Also, models are used in developed fields where production forecasts are needed to help make investment decisions. As building and maintaining a robust, reliable model of a field is often time-consuming and expensive, models are typically only constructed where large investment decisions are at stake. Improvements in simulation software have lowered the time to develop a model. Also, models can be run on personal computers rather than more expensive workstations.

For new fields, models may help development by identifying the number of wells required, the optimal completion of wells, the present and future needs for artificial lift, and the expected production of oil, water and gas.

Reservoir and Production Fundamentals

Of particular interest to reservoir engineers is generating accurate reserves estimates for use in financial reporting to the SEC and other regulatory bodies. Other job responsibilities include numerical reservoir modeling, production forecasting, well testing, well drilling and workover planning, economic modeling, and PVT analysis of reservoir fluids.

Reservoir engineers also play a central role in field development planning, recommending appropriate and cost effective reservoir depletion schemes such as waterflooding or gas injection to maximize hydrocarbon recovery. Due to legislative changes in many hydrocarbon producing countries, they are also involved in the design and implementation of carbon sequestration projects in order to minimize the emission of greenhouse gases.

Reservoir Formation Damage

Formation damage is an undesirable operational and economic problem that can occur during the various phases of oil and gas recovery from subsurface reservoirs including production, drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and  workover operations. Formation damage assessment, control, and remediationare among the most important issues to be resolved for efficient exploitation of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Such damage is caused by various adverse processes, including chemical, physical, biological, and thermal interactions of formation and fluids, and deformation of formation under stress and fluid shear. Formation damage indicators include permeability impairment, skin damage, and decrease of well performance. The properly designed experimental and analytical techniques presented in this book can help understanding, diagnosis, evaluation, prevention and controlling of formation damage in oil and gas reservoirs.
