Abstract Maps of organic matter distributions are an essential part of the basin modeling process for evaluation of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources. This approach has become widespread for both assessment of the initial oil and gas generation potential and final assessment of the resource base. An important step in this method is pyrolysis of …

Integrating the subsurface model for CO2 sequestration with the surface facilities model is very important to ensure long term deliverability of CO2 to the subsurface formation. In this paper, A compositional dynamic reservoir model is fully implicitly integrated with wellbore and surface network model to evaluate CO2 sequestration in a deep saline aquifer, located offshore …

This study employs novel ensemble-based statistical techniques for type-well analysis to quickly analyze the production data from multiple wells in a reservoir. The method is based on functional principal component analysis (FPCA) that accounts for measurement noise and the sparsity of the production timeseries. In particular, the sparse FPCA method is used, which can extract …

Summary Due to strong nonlinearities in the governing diffusivity equation for flow in porous media, numerically assisted rate-transient analysis (RTA) techniques have been suggested for the analysis of multiphase production data from multifractured horizontal wells (MFHWs). However, these methods are based on some limiting assumptions that cannot be generalized for three-phase flow or when relative …

Abstract The trajectory placement of a horizontal well that crosses a heterogeneous tight gas carbonate reservoir is one of the important elements that contribute to the success of well productivity. Proper placement can yield good production and vice versa improper placement may give low well productivity. An effort was studied to improve the well productivity …
