With the acceleration development of oilfield exploration and development, higher requirement for the precision of seismic interpretation is needed for that only higher accuracy of horizon calibration can match reservoir within the scope in the work area more effectively with full well to further lay a solid foundation of fine reservoir calibration which guarantee further fine structure interpr...

Swellable elastomers are used to seal flow channels in oilfield operations. After sealing, the elastomers are constrained triaxially, and a contact load builds up between the elastomers and surrounding rigid materials. For these applications, the ability to predict the evolution of the contact load is important. This work introduces an experimental setup to measure the contact load as a functio...

Development of hydrocyclonic separation is introduced first. The characteristics of the dynamic hydrocyclone are described. The laboratory study and oilfield tests of dynamic hydrocyclones were carried out. Some photos indicating flow phenomena inside the hydrocyclone were taken and analyzed for understanding the effect of some varieties on hydrocyclonic separation. Relations of flowrate, and o...

Enterobacter mori strain 5-4 is a Gram-negative, motile, rod shaped, and facultatively anaerobic bacterium, which was isolated from a mixture of formation water (also known as oil-reservior water) and crude-oil in Karamay oilfield, China. To date, there is only one E. mori genome has been sequenced and very little knowledge about the mechanism of E. mori adapted to the petroleum reservoir. Here...

Based on the geological characteristics of shale oil in Kong 2 Member Cangdong Sag, Dagang Oilfield, and a large number core experiments numerical simulations, displacement single-stage liquid volume fracturing construction were simulated optimized; stratigraphic stratified mixed shale, reverse mixing mode is adopted, that is, gel used for rock-breaking seam, then low-concentration low-damage f...

Mahu conglomerate oilfield has strong heterogeneity. Currently, large-scale hydraulic fracturing is commonly used for reservoir reconstruction. The geometry of fractures influenced by gravel. By referring to the scanning and logging results a reservoir, considering characteristics gravel development in Oilfield python programming establish finite element model containing matrix, bonding interfa...

Simulation models are commonly used as an aid to decision making for oilfield development and operations. Such models represent information uncertainty and alternate operational strategies and form a design space, which is used by engineers to explore different “what-if” scenarios. As the composition of the engineering team changes over the lifetime of the oilfield and new modeling requirements...

A rock failure criterion is very important for prediction of the ultimate strength in rock mechanics and geotechnics; it is determined for rock mechanics studies in mining, civil, and oil wellborn drilling operations. Also shales are among the most difficult to treat formations. Therefore, in this research work, using the artificial neural network (ANN), a model was built to predict the ultimat...
