Abstract. The contemporary stress state in the upper crust is of great interest for geotechnical applications and basic research alike. However, our knowledge crustal field from data perspective limited. For Germany basically two datasets are available: orientations maximum horizontal (SHmax) regime as part World Stress Map (WSM) database well a complementary compilation magnitude adjacent regi...

Seismic reservoir monitoring is a new technology that involves interpreting differences between different generations of 3-D seismic data in terms of changes in reservoir properties over time. A vast number of 3-D seismic surveys are repeated, in whole or in part, for reasons other than reservoir monitoring. In this paper, we cross-equalize two off-the-shelf migrated datacubes over a Gulf of Me...

Abstract An innovative and groundbreaking mathematical approach is proposed for the determination of the properties of reservoir materials, when oil reserves together with water are moving through porous media. Such problem seems to be very important for oil reservoir engineering. So, the above problem is reduced to the solution of a non-linear singular integral equation, which is numerically e...

There is a huge amount of marine shale gas resources in the southern Sichuan Basin China, and most are at buried depth 3500 - 4500 meters. At present, deep early stage exploration development. In order to achieve large-scale efficient development, addition optimizing favorable blocks, it also identify optimal target vertical direction combine geology, drilling, fracturing. Therefore, Taking Lon...

Sarvak Formation as the oil reservoir with the most hydrocarbon potential in Yaran oil field is of special importance. The present research was conducted to study the reservoir parameters of this Formation. For this purpose, petro-physical crude data was first prepared and using the Geolog6.7 software, a petro physical plot was drawn. Afterward, petro-physical properties of reservoir were done ...

Abstract Wellbore instability issues represent the most critical problems in Iraq Southern fields. These problems, such as hole collapse, tight and stuck pipe result tremendous increasing nonproductive time (NPT) well costs. The present study introduced a calibrated three-dimensional mechanical earth model (3DMEM) for X-field South of Iraq. This post-drill can be used to conduct comprehensive g...

Even with the fractured wells, primary oil recovery of low-permeability reservoirs is still poor in Block X Shengli Oilfield. To further enhance recovery, water injected into reservoir. Different from conventional injection scheme, maximum daily rate proposed scheme by Oilfield reaches 2000 m3, and average around 1500 m3. Thus, well spacing certain pattern not suitable for novel scheme. In pape...

The objective of this work is to utilize integrated geomechanics, field vertical seismic profile (VSP) and microseismic data characterize the complex subsurface stress conditions at Farnsworth Unit (FWU). model based on a five-spot sector extracted from primary geomechanical model. well injection pattern characterized by extensive reservoir characterization data, such logs, cores borehole geoph...
