Improved reservoir characterization by employing hydraulic flow unit classification in one of Iranian carbonate reservoirs

UTILIZING CONCEPTUAL MODELING IN THE STUDY OF ONE OF THE IRANIAN FRACTURED CARBONATE RESERVOIRS

A typical Iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. The modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled Eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). The model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...

The effect of sufficient barrier layers on hydraulic fracturing design efficiency in one of the Iranian South hydrocarbon reservoirs

Hydraulic fracturing and matrix stimulation are two major methods of the reservoir stimulation. Hydraulic fracturing, which is the newest technique and technically more complex, is very useful in low permeability reservoirs. Although it has been used widely in hydrocarbon production wells, it is a new method in Iran. In this paper, the effect of sufficient barrier layers on hydraulic fracturing...

Numerical modeling of hydraulic fracturing in carbonate rocks of Bangestan reservoir

Hydraulic fracturing is used in the oil industry in order to increase the index of production and processing in the wells whose efficiencies have been dropped due to a long-term harvest or the rocks around the wells are of low permeability. Since the hydraulic fracturing operation is costly, it is of special importance to the project managers to determine the pressure required for hydraulic fra...

Reservoir Characterization of Pennsylvanian Sandstone Reservoirs

Technical and Economic Evaluation of Oil reservoirs in The Form of Optimal Management of Reservoir Development (Case Study of Asmari reservoir in One of Iranian southwest Oil Fields)

Technical and economic evaluations in an oil field means that by different technologies and correct planning, maximize the amount of extraction of hydrocarbons and minimize risks and costs. The current research includes technical evaluation and economic analysis on one of the undeveloped reservoirs in the southwest of Iran. The amount of recoverable hydrocarbon was estimated using the Monte Car...
