In deepwater-reservoir modeling, the proper representation of the spatial distribution of architectural elements is important to account for pore-volume distribution and the connectivity of reservoir sand bodies. This is especially critical for rock and fluid-volume estimates, reservoir-performance predictions, and development-well planning. A new integrated stochastic reservoir-modeling approa...

A new fracture-injection/falloff type-curve analysis method is presented for reservoirs containing slightly compressible and compressible fluids. Type-curve analysis augments conventional beforeand after-closure methods, which are also reformulated in terms of adjusted pseudopressure and adjusted pseudotime to account for compressible reservoir fluids. Unlike beforeand after-closure methods whi...

Abstract Reservoir formation damage is a major problem that the oil and gas industry has to mitigate in order maintain supply. A case study presented identifies impacts of their causes Nubian ‘C’ hydrocarbon reservoir within Sidki field located Southern Gulf Suez, Egypt. In addition, mitigation program was designed implemented involving an effective stimulation treatment for each well experienc...

This paper proposes a novel history matching method where reservoir structure is inverted from dynamic fluid flow response. The proposed workflow consists of searching for models that match production history from a large set of prior structural model realizations. This prior set represents the reservoir structural uncertainty due to interpretation uncertainty on seismic sections. To make such ...

The publicly available Japanese data on the use of slim holes in geothermal exploration and reservoir assessment are reviewed in this report. Slim holes have been used for (1) obtaining core for geological studies, (2) delineating the stratigraphic structure, (3) characterizing reservoir fluid state (pressure, temperature, etc . ) , and (4) defining the permeability structure for reservoir asse...

The proposed approach combines the advantages of isogeometric analysis (IGA) and scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). The IGA is employed for idealization of the dam structure, while SBIGA is developed for modeling the semi-infinite fluid domain of reservoir and unbounded elastic half-space of the dam foundation. Water compressibility, reservoir boundary wave absorption can be taken i...

As a new modeling procedure of geothermal energy extraction systems, the authors present two dimensional and three dimensional modeling techniques of subsurface fracture network, based on fractal geometry. Fluid flow in fractured rock occurs primarily through a connected network of discrete fractures. The fracture network approach, therefore, seeks to model fluid flow and heat transfer through ...

Seismic reservoir monitoring is a new technology that involves interpreting differences between different generations of 3-D seismic data in terms of changes in reservoir properties over time. A vast number of 3-D seismic surveys are repeated, in whole or in part, for reasons other than reservoir monitoring. In this paper, we cross-equalize two off-the-shelf migrated datacubes over a Gulf of Me...
