Detailed petrographic, geochemical and strontium isotope studies, combined with field observation and rnicrofacies investigations indicate that syngenetic celestite at the base of Asmari Formation at the Bangestan anticline, Behbahan region, was deposited directly from Tertiary seawater in an intrasupratidal to supratidal environment. During diagenesis, the precipitated celestite underwent ...

a new chemical compound is developed at petroleum university of technology to enhance therecovery of the free imbibition process and simultaneously hinder asphaltene precipitation. thecompound is tested on heavy oil samples from marun oil field, bangestan reservoir. the effects ofthe chemical compound on viscosity, hydrocarbon composition, and average molecular weight ofthe heavy oil are invest...

Paleoclimate was reconstructed by the clay mineral assemblages of shale units of Pabdeh (PaleoceneOligocene), Gurpi (Upper Cretaceous), Kazhdumi (Albian-Cenomanian) and Gadvan (Aptian-Neocomian) formations in the Bangestan anticline. To compare with clay minerals assemblages in these formations, selected samples also taken from available formations in drilled wells in Ahvaz, Marun, Karanj, and ...

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...

The Kazhdumi Formation of the Bangestan Group is a well-known and important source rock in most oil-fields in the Zagros Basin. In order to examine productivity of this formation in southwestern Iran, and to correlate petrographical and palynological data with geochemical properties, one of the best outcrops of this formation, located in Tange-Maghar 45 km northwest of Behbahan city, was sampl...

Wettability alteration has been a sophisticated issue for scientists and reservoir engineers since early 20th century; thus, many investigations have been carried out to determine wettability and enhance it to ideal conditions, which leads to improvement in oil recovery. Dilute surfactant flooding has been approved as one of the noteworthy methods in chemical flooding. Several petroleum reservo...

Abstract A series of novel heuristic numerical tools were adopted to tackle the setback permeability estimation in carbonate reservoirs compared classical methods. To that end, a comprehensive data set petrophysical including core and log two wells was situated Marun Oil Field. Both wells, Well#1 Well#2 , completed Bangestan reservoir, having broad diversity facies. In light high Lorenz coeffic...

fracture system in carbonate reservoirs is very complex. understanding the features of fractures such as dip, strike and the other parameters can help to distinguish the behaviour of reservoir in any exploration and production plan. image log is the best way to investigate feature planes like fracture and bedding. image log in one of drilled well #10x393 of bangestan reservoir in gachsaran oilf...
