The spatial distribution of petrophysical properties within the reservoirs is one of the most important factors in reservoir characterization. Flow units are the continuous body over a specific reservoir volume within which the geological and petrophysical properties are the same. Accordingly, an accurate prediction of flow units is a major task to achieve a reliable petrophysical description o...

Wei AH platform is a composed of 8 horizontal wells in Weiyuan shale gas area. The number faults the area small, and natural fractures are locally developed. Therefore, it necessary to take volume reconstruction as core mining technology establish geology-engineering integration model for according concept. On basis geological model, combined with one-dimensional rock mechanics profile, geomech...

The article presents an integrated approach to the selection of most optimal option for involving in development oil reserves confined thin-layered clay-bearing reservoirs, based on modeling. Previous studies facies, geological and petrophysical reservoirs reservoir under consideration using a newly sampled core made it possible reconsider prospects production, which was previously considered u...

Shale reserves have become an ever-increasing component of the world’s energy map. The optimal design multi-well multi-stage fracturing (MMF) treatments is essential to economic development such resources. However, optimizing MMF a complex process. It requires geomechanical simulation, reservoir and automatic optimization. In this work, integrated workflow proposed optimize in unconventional re...

Abstract 3D geomechanical characterization of "Fuja" field reservoirs, Niger Delta, was carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties reservoir rock which will assist in reducing drilling and exploitation challenges faced by operators. Bulk density, sonic, gamma-ray logs from four wells were integrated with seismic data core area estimate elastic inelastic properties, pore pressure, total v...

In Rumaila oilfield, the lost circulation problem is a challenging issue. The geological and geomechanical properties of subsurface formations have role in causing loss. One natural features related to mud loss against these an unconformity surface. Inferring surface needs be understood how mechanical rocks are distributed across entire reservoir. result identifying areas for solving most probl...

Abstract Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) offer the potential for a much larger energy source than conventional hydrothermal systems. Hot, low-permeability rocks are prevalent at depth around world, but challenge of extracting thermal depends on ability to create and sustain open fracture networks. Laboratory experiments were conducted using suite selected rock cores (granite, metasediment, rh...

In this study, a 3D multicomponent multiphase simulator with a new fracture characterization technique is developed to simulate the enhanced recovery of coalbed methane. In this new model, the diffusion source from the matrix is calculated using the traditional dual-continuum approach, while in the Darcy flow scale, the Discrete Fracture Model (DFM) is introduced to explicitly represent the flo...
