withdrawal of oil and gas from reservoirs causes a decrease in pore pressure and an increase in effective stress which results to a reservoir compaction. reservoir compaction will result in surface subsidence through the elastic response of the subsurface. usually in order to determine the subsidence above a hydrocarbon field, the reservoir compaction must be first calculated and then the effec...

this paper proposes a two-step approach for characterizing the reservoir properties of the world’s largest non-associated gas reservoir. this approach integrates geological and petrophysical data and compares them with the field performance analysis to achieve a practical electrofacies clustering. porosity and permeability prediction is done on the basis of linear functions, succeeding the elec...

this paper presents an economic evaluation of gas to liquids (gtl) project using “south-pars” gas field of iran based on the latest actual performing gtl projects. iran has the world’s largest reserves of natural gas and can satisfy the projected long-term market demand of gtl products which have lower pollution and higher quality than refinery products. the results of cost-benefit analysis sho...

The objective of this research is to develop an accurate numerical method to be used in showing the deformation of a liquid fuel droplet in a convective field. To simultaneously solve the internal liquid droplet flow field as well as the external gas phase flow field, a nonstaggered rectangular grid system without any coordinate transformation is used. Transition from the gas field to the liqui...

since the pressure of hydrocarbon reservoirs drops due to production, in order to keep the production rate constant or increase enhanced recovery, few methods are used. one of which is gas injection to the reservoir. on the other hand, due to reduction in oil production potential of aghajari oil field, gas injection is highly required to pressurize and enhance oil recovery. there is a possibili...

physical and chemical properties of  crude oil, including viscosity and api gravity, are commonly inherited  from the  early organic matter, environmental conditions in which they were deposited and depth of burial of the source beds. api gravity increases in deeper burial due to higher thermal maturation of organic matter in the source rocks and consequently, generation of lighter saturated hy...
