Fracture modeling is one of the most important steps in the study of fractured reservoirs. Due to the high cost of imaging logs and their absence in most wells of the study area, it is often attempted to use other available data to detect fractures. This paper attempts to investigate the relationship between the lithology and fractures of rocks. For this purpose, the Image, Neutron, Density, Li...

One of the greatest challenges for the production of petroleum in deepwater is flow assurance. In fact, knowledge about the transient cool down behavior of the produced fluid is necessary to prevent the formation of hydrates and solid deposits during shutdown periods, which could result in a pipeline blockage and could result in large financial losses. In a typical subsea petroleum production s...

Today, the petroleum industry demonstrates a greater concern toward ecology. Actions are undertaken in order to reduce the CO2 emissions in particular. Storing the CO2 in depleted petroleum reservoirs represents one of the ways of controlling the CO2 emissions. However, a prior modeling of the reservoirs has to be done for a secure storage. This geological modeling task follows series of comple...

The biodegradation of hydrocarbon pollutants in open systems is limited by the availability of a utilizable nitrogen source. This limitation can be overcome by using uric acid. Enrichment cultures grown on crude oil-uric acid media yielded mixed and pure cultures that degraded petroleum. In a simulated open system, uric acid bound to crude oil and was available for bacterial growth and petroleu...

Secondary hydrocarbon migration is an important aspect of oil-gas accumulation research. While previous studies have relied on geological and fluid geochemical characteristics to predict direction, these results are often limited by the number samples. In recent years, basin simulation has emerged as a valuable tool in research due its extensive algorithms adaptable modeling capabilities. It ob...

three well - known source rocks of the zagros basin and the persian gulf are mesozoic in age.the jurassic sargelu, albian kazhdumi and neocomian-coniacian garau formations have charged the cretaceous reservoirs of this area. the northwest part of the persian gulf is strongly influenced by two major n-s trending paleohighs (hendijan- bahregansar-regesafid-izeh and kharge- mish) and surrounding p...
