A geothermal reservoir causes inhomogeneity in the physical properties of the subsurface geology due to the high changes in temperature. These physical properties can be ob‐ served by means of varying anomalies from geophysical observations from the surface. These physical properties include electrical conductivity, rock density, magnetic suscepti‐ bility, rock elasticity, and, finally, the tem...

We present an analytical approach for pressure transient test analysis in naturally fractured vuggy reservoirs. This analysis approach relies on a triple-continuum concept, using observed geological data from carbonate oil formations in western China, to describe transient flow behavior in fracture-vugmatrix reservoirs. In the conceptual mathematical model, fractured vuggy rock is considered as...

Characterization of porosity in carbonate rocks is important in the oil and gas industry since a major hydrocarbons field is formed by this lithology and they have a complex media porous. In this context, this research presents a study of the pore space in limestones rocks by x-ray microtomography. Total porosity, type of porosity and pore size distribution were evaluated from 3D high resolutio...

Fluid flow and tracer transport in a fractured Bot Dry Rock (HDR) geothermal reservoir are modeled using fracture network modeling techniques. The steady state pressure and flow fields are solved for a two-dimensional, interconnected network of fractures with no-flow outer boundaries and constant-pressure source and sink points to simulate wellbore-fracture intersections. The tracer response is...

Comminution (fragmentation) of solid particles is important in a range of technologies. An interesting effect is the so-called comminution limit (CL), which is effectively a brittle/ductile transition. Above the CL particles fail by fracture. However, as particle size decreases the amount of stored energy in the particle also decreases and eventually there is no longer sufficient stored energy ...

constructing phase diagram and its subsequent quality lines for lean gas condensate reservoirs is always crucial and challenging topic in reservoir fluid studies. due to small amounts of liquid drop-outs in lean gas condensates at reservoir conditions, full experimental tracking of phase diagram and its relevant quality lines is almost impossible for lean gas condensates.on the other hand, eos ...

This paper describes one solution to the problem of constraining geostatistical models by well-test results which has been obtained within the frame of the HELIOS research project conduced by Elf and IFP in the field of reservoir engineering. To do so, a numerical simulation program devoted to the simulation of well-tests has been coupled with a nonlinear constrained optimization program to mak...

We describe a theoretical model of the fluid flow, heat transfer and phase change which occurs when liquid is injected into a fracture bounded by a hot, impermeable rock. We first consider the case of a warm host rock, in which there is no boiling of the water. We then develop the model to describe the case in which the host rock temperature is in excess of the boiling temperature and the water...

Flow unit and reservoir rock type identification in carbonates are difficult due to the intricacy of pore networks caused by facies changes diagenetic processes. On other hand, these classifications necessary for understanding a predicting its production performance face any activity. The current study focuses on flow classification Mishrif Iraq's southeast is based data from five wells that pe...
