the development of yielded or failure zone due to an engineering construction is a subject of study in different disciplines. in petroleum engineering, depletion from and injection of gas into a porous rock can cause development of a yield zone around the reservoir. studying this phenomenon requires elasto-plastic analysis of geomaterial, in this case the porous rocks. in this study, which is a...

This paper presents a mathematical model for transient flow of the non-Newtonian power-law fluid in double porous media and fractal reservoir. By using Douglas-Jones predictor-corrector method, we obtain the solution for the constant rate condition at a single well in an infinite reservoir. The flow behavior is also analyzed. Finally, we discuss the pressure response to the various parameters. ...

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...

Displacement of oil and water in porous media of reservoir rocks is described by relative                      permeability curves, which are important input data for reservoir performance simulation and drive mechanism studies. Many core studies, such as multiphase relative permeability, capillary pressure and saturation exponent determination, depend on the volume fractions of multiphase flui...

INTRODUCTION Problem of reservoir estimation. The optimal exploitation of hydrocarbon reservoirs requires the accurate estimation of the reservoir's characteristics. Placement of wells, injection of gas and water, and production rate of hydrocarbons depend on the correct assessment of the reservoir properties. Furthermore, the field's properties change over tim e as reservoir pore fluid is remo...

Reservoir porous medium is random, in terms of oil and gas for low permeability reservoirs. Consider the random nature of the reservoir will enable to improve the accuracy of numerical reservoir simulation. Based on extensive research, for the stochastic nature of the reservoir from the two aspects of physical simulation, numerical simulation, the relevant international studies were reviewed. T...

In this research attempts were made to estimate the in-situ stresses acting on a hydrocarbon reservoir based on routine activities of acid injection in oil reservoir. It was found that the relation between the re-opening pressure of fracture and principal in-situ stresses can be estimated using rock mechanics equations for the circular underground cavities. An appropriate relation between the m...

Effective pressure effect on porous reservoir formation is one of the most important factors contributing to time-lapse seismic attribute changes. Our research shows that the existing commonly used models tend to overestimate effective pressure effect at high effective pressure, which might cause significant misinterpretation of 4D seismic data. Based on analysis of a large quantity of lab data...

Petro physics, rock physics and multi-attribute analysis have been employed in an integrated approach to delineate porosity variation across Tamag Field of Niger Delta Basin. Gamma and resistivity logs were employed to identify sand bodies and correlated across the field. Petro physical analysis was undertaken. Rock physics modelling and multi-attribute analysis were carried out. Two hydrocarbo...

We examine the motion of liquid injected into a liquid dominated geothermal reservoir, focusing on the situation in which the injected liquid has different temperature and composition from the reservoir fluid. As a result of these differences, the injected liquid will typically be of different density to the reservoir fluid, and will therefore spread through the reservoir under gravity. Owing t...
