A Hybrid Analytical and Machine Learning Workflow for Completion Design Optimization in Unconventional Reservoirs
DownloadSpring 2024
Hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling is the key to unlocking tight reservoirs. However, understanding the relationship between reservoir characteristics, completion design and well productivity remains challenging. In the past decade, over 40,000 multi-fractured horizontal wells...

A Robust Model for Integration of Sand-Arch Stability and Fractal Wormhole Network in CHOPS and post-CHOPS Process Simulation
DownloadSpring 2024
Cold heavy-oil production with sand (CHOPS) is a primary recovery process in unconsolidated heavy-oil reservoirs. The recovery factor typically ranges from 5% to 15% of the initial oil in place (OOIP). Approximately 90% of crude oil is left underground with considerable exploitation potential...

Development of Robust Multiphase Equilibrium Calculation Algorithms for Complex Reservoir Fluids Containing Asphaltene
DownloadSpring 2024
Multiphase equilibria, including three-phase vapor-liquid-asphaltene (VLS) equilibria and four-phase vapor-liquid-aqueous-asphaltene (VLAS) equilibria, can appear during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. Robust multiphase equilibrium calculation algorithms are important techniques in...

Fall 2024
When a well reaches the end of its life cycle, it needs to be abandoned. Leakage issues are being reported in legacy wells and the literature blames cement shrinkage as the main culprit for these leakage issue. Instead of blaming the cement, the isolation capabilities of the entire system need to...
