Format: MS WORD | Chapter: 1-5 | Pages: 65-80 ABSTRACT Well tests exist already for a long time. Since the first oil reservoir was discovered, oil companies have always been keen on estimating reservoir properties such as size. Present day…
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Many reservoirs are comprised of relatively young sediments, which are so poorly consolidated that sand will be produced along with the reservoir fluids unless the production rate is reduced significantly. Sand production leads to many numerous production…
APPLICATION OF INTELLIGENT WELL COMPLETION IN OPTIMIZING PRODUCTION FROM OIL RIM RESERVOIRS ABSTRACT An oil rim reservoir is a saturated reservoir with an oil column of limited thickness, less than 90 feet, overlain by a gas cap and underlain by…
ABSTRACT The technique used worldwide while drilling is known as overbalanced drilling. Which is defined as the drilling process where the hydrostatic pressure used exceeds the formation pressure. This is done with the main purpose of “killing” the well. However,…
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background to Study Oil and Gas is considered to be one of the major sources of energy in the world due to its high energy density, easy transportability, and relative abundance. It is a vital factor…
DETERMINATION OF FLOWING BOTTOM HOLE PRESSURE FROM WELL HEAD DATA ABSTRACT Production well optimization and modeling is very important in the efficient management of oil and gas production from a well. A major factor contributing to this process is the…
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to study Nodal analysis also known as “system analysis” is a systematic procedure/approach applied to the enhancement or optimization of production of oil and gas wells by analyzing and evaluating the complete production system. Every…
