salman and resalat oilfields are such marine oilfields that are in vicinity of each other. there is resalat oilfield in distance about 80-90 kilometers from lavan island in persian gulf. this oilfield is located in 25 kilometer southwest in reshat oilfield. salman oilfield is located in vicinity of water border line of united arab emirate in 140 kilometers of south of lavan island. this oilfiel...

Oil is an important non-renewable resource for the world. The application of alkaline-surfactant-polymer flooding has successfully enhanced the oil recovery in Chinese oilfields. The oilfield produced water is the layer water that came from the oil well along with the oil in the alkaline-surfactant-polymer flooding. Thus, the treatment process of oilfield produced water to meet the reinjection ...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil and gas systems are an important component of the GHG emission inventory. To assess the carbon emissions from oilfield-produced water under atmospheric conditions correctly, in situ detection and simulation experiments were developed to study the natural release of GHG into the atmosphere in the Shengli Oilfield, the second largest oilfield in China. The ...

The oil company holds the investment opportunity to develop a delineated oilfield. The investment plan must be presented until a specific date or the oilfield rights return to the government. The firm considers a set of mutually exclusive alternatives of scale to exploit the oilfield. Larger scale means faster exploitation – increasing the present value of revenues, but also higher investment c...

With the development of mobile technology, especially the development of 3G and mobile IP, the computational capacity of handsets is becoming more and more powerful, which provides a new method to solve the difficulties encountered in real time GIS accessing caused by the characteristics of mobility and remoteness of fieldwork in oilfield. On the basis of studying in-depth on the technologies o...

Wellbore instability is one of the major problems that hamper the drilling speed in Halfaya Oilfield. Comprehensive analysis of geological and engineering data indicates that Halfaya Oilfield features fractured shale in the Nahr Umr Formation. Complex accidents such as wellbore collapse and sticking emerged frequently in this formation. Tests and theoretical analysis revealed that wellbore inst...

Based on statistical analysis on the situation of casing damage and water injection pressure in Pubei Oilfield, it shows that the main forms of casing damage in Pubei Oilfield are deformation and dislocation. Dip angle and faults have a significant impact on casing damage and casing damage is closely related to water injection pressure. Through laboratory simulating experiment and theoretical c...

Time variability of reservoir parameters in water flooding has an effect on oilfield development rules. Meanwhile, time variability of different reservoir macro-parameters has certain synergetic relationship with each other. Based on microscopic network simulation and reservoir numerical simulation, a new simulation method is presented, which can describe the influence of reservoir parameters' ...

Design space exploration (DSE) is a common yet complex workflow in oilfield asset development. The “design” of an oilfield refers to a set of decisions about aspects ranging from well locations and number to facility sizing for optimum production. Evaluation of alternate designs – based extensively on reservoir simulations – corresponds to the evaluation of alternate development scenarios in fa...
