An Offshore China/South China Sea operator wanted to optimize the use of rotary steerable drilling assembly, simplify and reduce operational steps, and provide a larger reservoir wellbore. The operator elected to drill a single 8.5” wellbore and, in order to address a variety of issues and potential problems, change from a Cloud Point Glycol Drilling Fluid to a DrillIn Fluid (DIF) at the reserv...

The purpose of this study is the detection of lateral and vertical gradients of relative concentrations of compounds presented in oil. In addition, the detection allows us to assess potential drainage zones in a reservoir during the reservoir production by steam injection. In this paper, a new method for monitoring of steam chamber development in a 2D model was created and tested. The methodol...

Monkeys are important experimental models for investigating human diseases. The aim of this study was to survey the alimentary tract parasites among imported vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) to Iran. Fecal samples were collected from 40 vervets imported from Tanzania to Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute of Iran. Fecal samples were assessed by direct smear and Telman sedimentation...

productivity of an oil well is an important parameter in any oil field development. low production rate of the wells, impose more production wells drilling which directly jeopardizes the economical feasibility of the project. oil production rate in some of the wells is very low due to low permeability of the reservoir rock. several practice like hydraulic fracturing and acid fracturing is very ...

since the pressure of hydrocarbon reservoirs drops due to production, in order to keep the production rate constant or increase enhanced recovery, few methods are used. one of which is gas injection to the reservoir. on the other hand, due to reduction in oil production potential of aghajari oil field, gas injection is highly required to pressurize and enhance oil recovery. there is a possibili...

in this research, a new mathematical modeling on strength changes due to reservoir elastic stresses across the preexisting fault plane is introduced. the method has been applied to the dalpari fault, which is one of the potential seismic sources in the vicinity of the karkheh reservoir. in this method the distribution of total stress across the fault cannot be determined because the initial str...
