Fall 2021
Recent research shows that, the stress sensitivity of tight sandstone formations is significantly larger than that of high-permeability sandstone formations. Also, it takes a longer time for the permeability of a tight sandstone to get stabilized when it is subjected to a change in the confining...

Development of Robust Equilibrium Calculation Algorithms for Reservoir Fluids at Given Volume, Temperature and Composition
DownloadFall 2020
Two-phase and three-phase equilibria can be frequently observed in the petroleum industry. To accurately predict the phase behavior of complex fluid mixtures lies at the core of the analysis and design of petroleum recovery and petrochemical processes. Normally, engineers or researchers rely on...

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...

Spring 2024
Clathrate hydrate is a multi-component system in which the “guest” gas molecules are accommodated by the “host” water. It has many potential applications in CO2 capture and sequestration, gas separation and others. We wish to promote the formation of clathrate hydrate in these applications since...

Spring 2021
The phase behavior of reservoir fluids in tight/shale reservoirs can be dramatically altered from the bulk phase behavior due to the strong capillarity and confinement effects introduced by the confined nanopores found in the unconventional reservoirs. Therefore, an accurate description of the...

Stability and Mobility of Foam Generated by Gas-Solvent/Surfactant and Gas-Solvent/Nanoparticles under Reservoir Conditions
DownloadFall 2016
Foam can be a feasible means to remedy the low sweep efficiency of solvent flooding (e.g., CO2 and/or C3H8) resulting from viscous fingering and gravity segregation. It works as a good mobility control agent that decreases the mobility difference between the displaced oil and the displacing...
