Static Modeling of Oil Field Mineral Scales: Software Development

Mineral scale deposition in near wellbore regions of injection wells is one of the main challengeable issues during the water injection process, which magnifies the importance of robust models in predicting the amount of mineral scale deposition such as calcium sulfate. One of the main challenges of CaSO4 scale is in carbonated reservoirs, in which sensitive behavior is observed in related to t...

A Successful Experience in Optimization of a Production Well in a Southern Iranian Oil Field

Real Options in Offshore Oil Field Development Projects

The average size of discovered petroleum reserves on the Norwegian continental shelf has declined steadily over the last years. As a consequence, the fields have become economically more marginal, and new and flexible development strategies are required. This paper describes a stochastic dynamic programming model for project evaluation under uncertainty, where emphasis is put on flexibility and...

Tax Effects upon Oil Field Development in Venezuela

Osmel Manzano May 2000. Tax Effects upon Oil Field Development in Venezuela. Important reforms have been made to the oil sector tax code in Venezuela. Given its diversity of oil resources, there was a concern that some resources were not being exploited because of the structure of the tax code. This paper uses traditional theoretical models to review these reforms. Then, a panel of 821 Venezuel...
