PURPOSE To describe a case of safe placement of an inflatable penile prosthesis reservoir for postoperative erectile dysfunction (ED) with a history of radical cystoprostatectomy with an orthotopic Studer neobladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 55-year-old bladder cancer patient, who underwent radical cystoprostatectomy with orthotopic Studer neobladder 2 years prior, suffered from postoperative ...

During the development of oil and gas fields, permeability reservoirs decreases due to a decrease in reservoir pressure an increase effective pressure, as result which significant reserves remain reservoir. To predict rate production rates during field respond quickly, it is necessary know law with pressure. Existing methods for describing change rocks were analyzed paper. Numerical analysis re...

Pore pressureis defined as the pressure of the fluid inside the pore space of the formation, which is also known as the formation pressure. When the pore pressure is higher than hydrostatic pressure, it is referred to as overpressure. Knowledge of this pressure is essential for cost-effective drilling, safe well planning, and efficient reservoir modeling. The main objective of this study is to ...

The fluid distribution as a function of height in transition zones is often very complex. This may be due to movement of water-oil contact, tilting of the reservoir at some point in time, leak of fluid out of the reservoir zone or complex inflow during secondary migration. The resultant fluid distribution seen in saturation logs may be difficult to model. In this paper we address the changes in...

W. H. CHEN G. R. GAVALAS J. H. SEINFELD M. L. WASSERMAN History-matching problems, in which reservoir parameters arc to be estimated from well pressure data, are formulated as optimal control problems. The necessary conditions for optimality lead naturally to gradient optimization methods for determining the optimal parameter estimates. The key feature of the approach is that reservoir properti...

Hydraulic fracture in shale reservoir presents complex network propagation, which has essential difference with traditional plane biwing fracture at forming mechanism. Based on the research results of experiments, field fracturing practice, theory analysis, and numerical simulation, the influence factors and their mechanism of hydraulic fracture extending into network in shale have been systema...

In the present paper, some finite element softwares about interaction of dam and reservoir during earthquake in time domain are discussed. Impedance option is used as boundary condition of absorbent of reservoir and wave. For each software, time history analysis of pressure and displacement are done and finally suitable elements for dam structure and reservoir fluid are introduced comparing the...

Net pay thickness is defined as that portion of a reservoir which contains economically producible hydrocarbons with today’s technology, prices, and costs. This thickness is a key parameter of the volumetric calculation of in-place hydrocarbons, well test interpretation, and reservoir characterization. A reservoir interval is considered as net pay when it contains hydrocarbons that can flow at ...

More than half of all hydrocarbon reservoirs are Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs), in which production forecasting is a complicated function of fluid flow in a fracture-matrix system. Modelling of fluid flow in NFRs is challenging due to formation heterogeneity and anisotropy. Stress sensitivity and depletion effect on already-complex reservoir permeability add to the sophistication. Horiz...
