[ 1 ] - An Impressive Impact on Well Productivity by Hydrochloric Acidizing of Vuggy Carbonate Reservoir: A Case Study
Hydrochloric acidizing is a routine operation in oil fields to reduce the mechanical skin. In this paper, practical acidizing in a typical carbonate oil reservoir located in the southwest of Iran is practiced, which shows an unexpected improvement after acidizing. To understand the acidizing effect on reservoir rock, the formation rock is analyzed on different scales. An acidizing laboratory te...
[ 2 ] - Evaluation of a Naturally-derived Deflocculant (Terminalia Chebula) in Bentonite Dispersions
The unwanted addition of salt to drilling causes flocculation which has an adverse effect on mud rheological properties. To treat the flocculated mud chemical, deflocculants are commonly used; however, their disadvantages such as negative environmental effects, lower tolerance to contamination, and toxicity motivated scientists to search for effective additives. Using plant derived additives in...
[ 3 ] - Minimizing Water Invasion into Kazhdumi Shale Using Nanoparticles
Fluid invasion from water-based drilling mud (WBDM) into the shale formations causes swelling, high pressure zone near the wellbore wall, and eventually wellbore instability problems during drilling operations. For the stability of the wellbore, physical plugging of nanoscale pore throats could be considered as a logical approach toward avoiding the fluid invasion into the shale formation. This...
[ 4 ] - Delineating Hydrocarbon Bearing Zones Using Elastic Impedance Inversion: A Persian Gulf Example
Reservoir characterization plays an important role in different parts of an industrial project. The results from a reservoir characterization study give insight into rock and fluid properties which can optimize the choice of drilling locations and reduce risk and uncertainty. Delineating hydrocarbon bearing zones within a reservoir is the main objective of any seismic reservoir characterization...
[ 5 ] - Effects of pH and Temperature on Oilfield Scale Formation
Water flooding is one of the most influential methods for pressure maintenance and enhanced oil recovery. However, water flooding is likely to develop the formation of oilfield scale. Scale formation in reservoirs, due to the mixing of injection water and formation water, could cause formation damage and production limit. Therefore, it is necessary to simulate the compatibility of brine and inj...
