Succession in the petroleum reservoir microbiome through an oil field production lifecycle

Determining Reservoir Potential in the Yaran Oil Field

Sarvak Formation as the oil reservoir with the most hydrocarbon potential in Yaran oil field is of special importance. The present research was conducted to study the reservoir parameters of this Formation. For this purpose, petro-physical crude data was first prepared and using the Geolog6.7 software, a petro physical plot was drawn. Afterward, petro-physical properties of reservoir were done ...

Investigation of Hydrogen Sulfide Oil Pollution Source: Asmari Oil Reservoir of Marun Oil Field in the Southwest of Iran

Source of Cement in the Great Oolite Reservoir, Storrington Oil Field, Weald Basin, South of England

The source of cement in oilfields is critical to the prediction of the distribution of cements in the reservoirs and also prediction of reservoir quality. The source of mineral forming cements has been determined for the Storrington oolitic carbonate reservoir (Middle Jurassic Great Oolite Formation, Weald Basin, onshore UK) using a combination of petrography, electron microscopy, fluid inclusi...

Hubbert’s Petroleum Production Model: An Evaluation and Implications for World Oil Production Forecasts

Following Hubbert’s successful prediction of the timing of US peak oil production, Hubbert’s model has been used extensively to predict peak oil production elsewhere. However, forecasts of world and regional peak oil and natural gas production using Hubbert’s methodology usually have failed, leading to the implicit belief that such predictions always will fail and that we need not worry about f...

Gridding for Petroleum Reservoir Simulation

We consider optimization of computational grids for petroleum reservoir flow simulations. In this context grid quality is determined by two independent error sources. On the one hand there is a loss of precision caused by upscaling of geological data from the fine geological grid to the coarser computational grid, and on the other hand there are numerical errors induced by a non-regular computa...
