[ 1 ] - A New Cementation Factor Correlation in Carbonate Parts of Oil Fields in South-West Iran

Petrophysical parameters such as porosity, water and oil saturations, formation resistivity factor, etc. describe the storage capability of the porous media or the capacity of rocks to hold fluids. The modified Archie’s equation . / . , also called the saturation equation, is used to determine the water saturation. Archie’s parameters, namely , , and , are sometimes assumed constant to simp...

[ 2 ] - Gas-liquid Relative Permeability Estimation in 2D Porous Media by Lattice Boltzmann Method: Low Viscosity Ratio 2D LBM Relative Permeability

This work is a primary achievement in studying the CO2 and N2–oil systems. To predict gas-liquid relative permeability curves, a Shan-Chen type multicomponent multiphase lattice Boltzmann model for two-phase flow through 2D porous media is developed. Periodic and bounce back boundary conditions are applied to the model with the Guo scheme for the external body force (i.e.,...

[ 3 ] - Optimization of Dogleg Severity in Directional Drilling Oil Wells Using Particle Swarm Algorithm (Short Communication)

The dogleg severity is one of the most important parameters in directional drilling. Improvement of these indicators actually means choosing the best conditions for the directional drilling in order to reach the target point. Selection of high levels of the dogleg severity actually means minimizing well trajectory, but on the other hand, increases fatigue in drill string, increases torque and d...

[ 4 ] - Challenges in Well Testing Data from Multi-layered Reservoirs and Improving Nonlinear Regression: A Gas filed case

Well test analysis of multi-layer reservoir comprises several parts. The first part concerns the estimation of parameters values and next considers finding an appropriate method to determine the unknown reservoir parameters. If the initial estimations are less accurate and weak, the final assessment may lead to incorrect results, which are totally different from the reality. Utilizing Automated...
