The Persian Gulf and its surrounding area are some of the biggest basins and have a very important role in producing huge amounts of hydrocarbon, and this potential was evaluated in order to explore the target for geoscientists and petroleum engineers. Wavelet transform is a useful and applicable technique to reveal frequency contents of various signals in different branches of science and espe...

Depositional and post-depositional (diagenetic) processes control the distribution of porosity and permeability within petroleum reservoir rocks. The understanding of these controls is essential for the construction of models for the systematic characterization and prediction of the quality (porosity, permeability) of petroleum reservoirs during their exploration and production. The description...

The development of yielded or failure zone due to an engineering construction is a subject of study in different disciplines. In Petroleum engineering, depletion from and injection of gas into a porous rock can cause development of a yield zone around the reservoir. Studying this phenomenon requires elasto-plastic analysis of geomaterial, in this case the porous rocks. In this study, which is a...

Green’s functions are established tools for solving petroleum engineering flow problems. Their utility and rigor was extended to arbitrarily shaped reservoirs using the Boundary Element Method (BEM). Traditional BEMs are limited to single-phase flow in homogeneous reservoirs. Earlier authors have developed techniques to handle heterogeneity. These methods are perturbationbased and computation-i...

This paper presents research results within real-time production optimization and reservoir management at the Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry (IO center). This includes life-cycle and long term issues like well location and target production rates. Further, results on short term production optimization, for instance the allocation of target production between wells an...

Estimation of petrophysical properties of the rock formations played decisive role in all the processes of petroleum exploration. The Cambrian sequence is well established as reservoir rocks in the various parts of the world from where petroleum is being tapped. The Cambrian sequence has been encountered in the Potwar area and limited petroleum is being produced from the Adhi Oil Field. The Khe...

Determining oil migration distances from source rocks to reservoirs can greatly help in the search for new petroleum accumulations. Concentrations and ratios of polar organic compounds are known to change due to preferential sorption of these compounds in migrating oils onto immobile mineral surfaces. However, these compounds cannot be directly used as proxies for oil migration distances becaus...

Reservoir characterization This paper gives an overview of the activities in geostatistics for the Petroleum industry in the domain of reservoir characterization. This description has been simplified in order to emphasize the original techniques involved. The main steps of a study consist in successively building: • the reservoir architecture where the geometry of the units is established, • th...
