Book Description
In the complex field of carbonate reservoir evaluation, the intricate structural features present significant obstacles. This study tackles the essential task of structural delineation, with a particular focus on fractured reservoirs, and highlights the crucial influence of permeability on the performance of wells and reservoirs. The Oil Based Mud Micro-Imager - resistivity of invading zone (OBMI-Rxo) offers a high-resolution curve that is sensitive to fluid mobility near the borehole wall, although it is often underexploited by oil companies. Maintaining borehole stability after drilling is critical for ensuring the longevity of wells. This research introduces a holistic workflow that combines borehole imagery, petrophysical logs, the Modular Formation Dynamics Tester (MDT), Xpress Pressure Tool (XPT), and core samples for sophisticated formation evaluation in both carbonate fractured and clastic reservoirs. The study reveals new insights into reservoir structure, fracture detection, visualization of rock texture, and permeability distribution, thereby improving our understanding of well conditions in these challenging geological environments.

Multiphase Fluid Flow in Porous and Fractured Reservoirs
Author: Yu-Shu Wu
Publisher: Gulf Professional Publishing
ISBN: 0128039116
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Multiphase Fluid Flow in Porous and Fractured Reservoirs discusses the process of modeling fluid flow in petroleum and natural gas reservoirs, a practice that has become increasingly complex thanks to multiple fractures in horizontal drilling and the discovery of more unconventional reservoirs and resources. The book updates the reservoir engineer of today with the latest developments in reservoir simulation by combining a powerhouse of theory, analytical, and numerical methods to create stronger verification and validation modeling methods, ultimately improving recovery in stagnant and complex reservoirs. Going beyond the standard topics in past literature, coverage includes well treatment, Non-Newtonian fluids and rheological models, multiphase fluid coupled with geomechanics in reservoirs, and modeling applications for unconventional petroleum resources. The book equips today's reservoir engineer and modeler with the most relevant tools and knowledge to establish and solidify stronger oil and gas recovery. - Delivers updates on recent developments in reservoir simulation such as modeling approaches for multiphase flow simulation of fractured media and unconventional reservoirs - Explains analytical solutions and approaches as well as applications to modeling verification for today's reservoir problems, such as evaluating saturation and pressure profiles and recovery factors or displacement efficiency - Utilize practical codes and programs featured from online companion website

Novel, Integrated and Revolutionary Well Test Interpretation and Analysis
Author: Freddy Escobar
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 1789848504
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The TDS technique is a practical, easy, and powerful tool for well test interpretation. It uses characteristic features and points found on the pressure derivative versus time plot, so that reservoir parameters can be easily calculated by using several analytic expressions. Most calculations can be verified more than once and applied to systems where the conventional straight-line method has no applications. This book deals with well tests run in elongated systems, partially completed/penetrated wells, multirate tests, hydraulically fractured wells, interference tests, and naturally fractured reservoirs. This technique is used in all commercial well-testing software. Its use is the panacea for well test interpretation and can also be extended to rate-transient analysis, although not shown here.

Integrative Understanding of Shale Gas Reservoirs
Author: Kun Sang Lee
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331929296X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
This timely book begins with an overview of shale gas reservoir features such as natural fracture systems, multi-fractured horizontal wells, adsorption/desorption of methane, and non-linear flow within the reservoir. Geomechanical modelling, an aspect of importance in ultra-low permeability reservoirs, is also presented in detail. Taking these complex features of shale reservoirs into account, the authors develop a numerical model, which is verified with field data using the history matching technique. Based on this model, the pressure transient and production characteristics of a fractured horizontal well in a shale gas reservoir are analysed with respect to reservoir and fracture properties. Methods for the estimation of shale properties are also detailed. Minifrac tests, rate transient tests (RTA), and type curve matching are used to estimate the initial pressure, permeability, and fracture half-length. Lastly, future technologies such as the technique of injecting CO2 into shale reservoirs are presented. The book will be of interest to industrial practitioners, as well as to academics and graduate students in the field of reservoir engineering.
