Research on Oil-Based Drilling Fluid for Protecting Oil Reservoir

Improved Rheological Model of Oil-Based Drilling Fluid for South-western Iranian Oilfields

In this study, predictive capabilities of apparent viscosity of oil-based drilling fluids which is used in National Iranian South Oilfields Company (NISOC) were evaluated using Newtonian and non-Newtonian models to drive a new suitable equation. The non-Newtonian models include Bingham plastic, Power law, Herschel-Bulkley, Casson, and Robertson-Stiff. To validate the results, the calculated vis...

New Tools for Oil and Gas Reservoir Fluid Management

A Ring-based Parallel Oil Reservoir Simulator

We develop and implement a ring-based parallel 3-D oil-phase homogeneous isotropic reservoir simulator and study its performance in terms of speedup as a function of problem size. The ring-based approach is shown to result in significant improvement in speedup as the problem size increases. This improvement stems from the reduction in communication costs inherent in a ring-based approach. The s...

Autonomic oil reservoir optimization on the Grid

The emerging Grid infrastructure and its support for seamless and secure interactions is enabling a new generation of autonomic applications where the application components, Grid services, resources, and data interact as peers to manage, adapt and optimize themselves and the overall application. In this paper we describe the design, development and operation of a prototype of such an applicati...

Semi-Supervised Classification for oil reservoir

This paper addresses the general problem of accurate identification of oil reservoirs. Recent improvements in well or borehole logging technology have resulted in an explosive amount of data available for processing. The traditional methods of analysis of the logs characteristics by experts require significant amount of time and money and is no longer practicable. In this paper, we use the semi...
