Matrix Acidizing Optimization for Screened Sandstone Formation at High-Rate Gas Well of Deepwater GWK-8

Well-posedness of a Compressible Gas-liquid Model for Deepwater Oil Well Operations

The main purpose of this paper is two-fold: (i) to generalize an existence result for a compressible gas-liquid model with a friction term recently published by Friis and Evje [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 71 (2011), pp. 2014–2047]; (ii) to derive a uniqueness result for the same model. A main ingredient in the existence part is the observation that we can consider weaker assumptions on the initial liq...

Acoustic measurement of the Deepwater Horizon Macondo well flow rate.

On May 31, 2010, a direct acoustic measurement method was used to quantify fluid leakage rate from the Deepwater Horizon Macondo well prior to removal of its broken riser. This method utilized an acoustic imaging sonar and acoustic Doppler sonar operating onboard a remotely operated vehicle for noncontact measurement of flow cross-section and velocity from the well's two leak sites. Over 2,500 ...

Fracture Dynamic Propagation Model of High-Energy Gas Fracturing for Casing Perforated Well

The onshore oil and natural gas industries of China have started a large-scale development when crude oil reserves have been difficult to recover. The stratum fracture modification is an indispensable measure to efficiently develop oil and gas fields. Hydraulic fracturing is the most important reservoir stimulation technique, but it is still faced with various problems such as the failure to fr...

Selection of the Best Efficient Method for Natural Gas Storage at High Capacities Using TOPSIS Method

Nowadays one of the most important energy sources is natural gas. By depletion of oil reservoirs in the world, natural gas will emerge as the future energy source for human life. One of the major concerns of gas suppliers is being able to supply this source of energy the entire year. This concern intensifies during more consuming seasons of the year when the demand for natural gas increases, r...
