Oil production may be accompanied by Sand Production (SP) in the weak sandstone reservoirs. Fluid flow is an important factor in transporting the separated grains and completing the SP mechanism. In this paper, the effect of fluid parameters, fluid flow, and fluid pressure on the SP is investigated by applying the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Parametric studies show that fluid velocity is red...

using the lennard-jones (12-6) potential, a new equation of state is obtained that can predict properties of both gases and liquids relatively well. this equation of state is given as (z-a)v2=(a/v2)-b, where z is the compressibility factor, a and b are constants, and a is an adjustable parameter that depends on the temperature, volume and the nature of the fluid, and its expressions depends upo...

The term Nanofluids was first coined by Sir Stephen Choi in 1995 at Argonne National Laboratory ,U.S.A .Since the discovery, nanofluid have been explored as heat transfer fluids. Nanofluids increased the thermal conductivity of existing coolants (Water, Ethylene glycol) by a magnitude of hundred times which made them attractive for miniaturization of electronic devices .From 1995 till 2008 nano...

avo analysis is a technique which is widely used in industry and is applied on seismic prestack data. results from changes in seismic wave reflection amplitude versus offset can be used in extracting elastic properties and hence lithology and reservoirs pore fluid identification. before performing avo analysis studies, processing steps should be ensured that changes in reflection amplitude are ...

As worldwide demand of hydrocarbon is growing fast, the oil and gas companies have been forced to explore reservoirs with more hostile conditions, such as high-pressure, high-temperature conditions. Improved technology, material selection and testing procedures are required to overcome the common problems in these conditions. One of the main phases of well construction is cementing job. Appropr...

in this paper, the effect of hydrocarbon fluid properties on water coning in fractured reservoirs, using a black oil numerical simulator has been studied. effect of each parameter has been investigated both separately and also with the construction of different models. using separate constructed models.primarily the hydrocarbon fluid density, viscosity and also water density as effective parame...
