The Bozhong oilfield (Hereinafter referred to as BZ oilfield) is a typical representative of complex fluvial reservoirs in the Bohai Sea, located southern with an average porosity 30.3% and permeability 643 × 10-3 μm2, belonging medium high reservoir, reservoir has good connectivity, underground crude oil viscosity 5 mPa·s. There are many plane fault blocks, longitudinal well section long, so o...

Using a new measurement of the D/H fractionation efficiency and new estimates of the water loss, we calculate that Mars has the equivalent of a approximately 9 m global water layer in a reservoir that exchanges with the atmosphere. The measured D/H enrichment is about 5 times the terrestrial value, but without exchange, the atmosphere converges on an enrichment of 50 in about 0.5 Ma. Due to the...

At the Sidi Bouzid area located in Central Tunisia, Cenomanian-Turonian reservoir rocks are well outcropping, especially in the Jebel el Kébar and Meloussi areas. The present work confirms that these carbonate intervals constitute the lateral equivalent of the Early-Middle Turonian Biréno and Late Turonian-Coniacian Douleb reservoir Members which are included within the pelagic marls of the Tur...

This paper presents a modeling approach for three-dimensional simulation of hydraulic fracturing of jointed rock. The base for a successful computer based simulation for productive use is the ability to calculate the fractured volume with sufficient accuracy and efficiency. Especially in cases three dimensional effects have to be taken into account, the common commercial software tools in oil a...

Primary productivity, Secchi disc visibility, chlorophyll, and nutrient concentrations were studied in Wagon Train and Stagecoach reservoirs during the years 1969 and 1970. The reservoirs are separated by a distance of only 12 km and are similar in nutrient content and circulation pattern. Furthermore, in both reservoirs 92-100% of the productivity occurs in the upper two meiers. However, the r...

Reservoir simulation to predict production performance requires two steps: one is history-matching, and the other is uncertainty quantification in forecasting. In the process of history-matching, rock relative permeability curves are often altered to reproduce production data. However, guidelines for changing the shape of the curves have not been clearly established. The aim of this paper is to...

The Lorenz curve is used to estimate the heterogeneity of an oil reservoir. The corresponding permeability distributions in a series of concept reservoir models with a uniform average permeability but different heterogeneities are obtained and characterized by inverse calculation of the Lorenz curve. Then the development laws of a reservoir in relation to its heterogeneity are studied in method...
