Improvement of thermal heavy-oil recovery in sandstone and carbonate reservoirs using hydrocarbon solvents
DownloadFall 2011
ALBAHLANI, ALMUATASIM MOHAMMED
This thesis introduces a new approach for heavy-oil recovery from fractured reservoirs: Steam-Over-Solvent Injection in Fractured Reservoirs (SOS-FR). The SOS-FR technique is a new technology proposed as an alternative method to the sole injection of steam or solvent and consists of three...

Numerical simulation of dynamic spontaneous imbibition with variable inlet saturation and interfacial coupling effects using Bentsen’s transport equation
Numerical simulation of dynamic spontaneous imbibition with variable inlet saturation and interfacial coupling effects using Bentsen’s transport equation
DownloadSpring 2010
In oil recovery from fractured reservoirs, Dynamic Spontaneous Imbibition (DSI) plays an important role. Conventional equations used to characterize DSI neglect interfacial coupling effects (ICE). Moreover, no numerical model has considered a variable inlet saturation (S) for DSI. An iteration...

Spring 2015
Hydraulic fracturing treatment has been increasingly applied to stimulate shale gas reservoirs. During hydraulic fracturing, a large amount of fracturing water is injected into the target formation. However, only a small fraction of injected fluid, typically 10 to 20 %, can be recovered during...
