This is as a result of its potential to be an avenue for the simultaneous additional recovery of natural gas from the reservoir and provide a safe CO2 sequestration site. However, the major problem with this technology lies in the excessive mixing of the injected CO2 and the nascent natural gas (CH4) during the displacement process. This excessive mixing is the reason why the technology has not been widely patronised, given that the recovered CH4 will be heavily contaminated with the injected CO2 thereby making it \"lacking\" as sales gas after recovery. This hinders the market value of the recovered CH4 and eventually renders it not viable economically. Hence, highlighting the factors responsible for the mixing could provide technical solution to minimise the mixing phenomenon during EGR. This research focuses on the temperature effects and the orientation of the injection pattern of the technique. An experimental core flooding simulation was carried out at a temperature of 50°C and a pressure of 1300 psig and varying injection rates of 0.2 - 0.5 ml/min on Grey Berea sandstone core sample with the sample situated in both vertical and horizontal orientations. It was observed that at higher temperature (50°C) suitable for many gas reservoirs, the disperstion coefficient increased significantly compared to our earlier work (Abba, Abbas, & Nasr, 2017) at 40°C by a factor of 2.3. This trend was due to the increased energy of the gas molecules at the observed conditions, thereby increasing their mobilities. Conversely, the dispersion coefficient also increased significantly by a factor of 3.4 in the horizontal orientation at lower injection rates compared to the vertical core flooding with the concentration profiles showing significant capillary tailing effects at higher flowrates. This signified the effect of gravity in the horizontal orientation was more pronounced at lower injection rates during the injection of CO2 and this will have tremendous effect on the flow behavior of supercritical CO2 during the gas-gas displacement process.","PeriodicalId":11079,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Thu, November 15, 2018","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76943700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work illustrates horizontal well placement sensitivity analysis that was conducted on a complex Valanginian (Cretaceous) unsaturated oil carbonate reservoir with strong water drive. Existing producer wells are 80% horizontal and the remaining 20% are vertical to deviated producers. The production history is the approximately 20 years and currently a peripheral water injection is implemented, all injector wells are horizontals. The well placement is very challenging due to the presence of some thin high permeability streaks intervals with permeability value of up to 1 Darcy. Early water breakthrough encountered in the existing oil producers is a serious problem which results in lower recovery factor and costly lifting treatment. In addition, premature breakthrough would leave behind the potential oil accumulation. Therefore defining the optimum placement location of the producers is a crucial decision to be decided during well plan and field development.\u0000 In this paper we applied novel approach for stochastically modeling complex carbonate reservoir lithofacies and properties distribution using a pre-defined High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy (HRSS) model subzonation. The key static geological elements that must be well defined are HRSS framework, lithofacies architecture, and field wide rock properties. In this study, we apply integrated geosciences, geostatistical, and flow simulations to assess options for well placement.\u0000 This new holistic approach has recently been successfully implemented in the studied field. The resulted geostatistical model was able to explain pressure depletion and production rate as shown in historical production data of the field. The resulting dynamic model will hence provide reliable production forecast and reservoirs development plan which will eventually allow accomplishing the mandate recovery target.\u0000 Flow simulation was used to analyze the performance of the well considering horizontal the well azimuth, well inclination, wells length, wells position relative to the sequence stratigraphic zonation, and well position relative to the water contact. In addition, multi-scenarios of well placement were created to see the impact on the oil rate, plateau, and water breakthrough time. Some producers in the studied reservoirs have been drilled using the multidiscipline study recommendation. Actual property and rate derived from the newly drilled wells displayed a very reasonable match to the expected property from the model.","PeriodicalId":11079,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Thu, November 15, 2018","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77299672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a structural modeling and gridding workflow that limits these modeling compromises.\u0000 A volume-based 3D structural model based on fault and horizon surfaces is constructed from input data that has undergone basic quality checking using a variety of techniques. The critical step in the grid creation is the definition of a flattened (‘depositional’) space that deforms the structural model mesh under mechanical constraints. A 3D ‘unstructured’ grid is created in the depositional space, based on ‘cutting’ a property-populated, regular cuboidal grid by the geological discontinuities. The tectonic consistency and better preservation of geodetic distance make the flattened space ideal for a range of property modeling approaches. The forward-deformation of the grid into true geological space tends to preserve the layer-orthogonality of the grid columns and makes the grid more suited to numerical simulation approximations. The final grid is unstructured, high quality and an accurate representation of the input structural model.\u0000 The 3D structural model, depositional space transform and grid geometries all provide valuable information on the structural quality of the input data. The stretching and deforming of the orthogonal local axes in the transformation from depositional space to geological space are used to focus further effort on structural model quality assurance (QA). The key step in generating accurate property population and simulation models is the application of QA metrics on the grid geometry; the transformation from depositional space to geological space is used to generate a set of grid properties that highlight potential structural inconsistencies or data quality issues back in the structural model. We present several examples based on a range of structurally complex models, and demonstrate the downstream impact of applying this QA workflow throughout the stages of input data validation, structural model creation and grid creation.","PeriodicalId":11079,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Thu, November 15, 2018","volume":"214 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74760605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the efficiency and reduce costs of developing unconventional gas resources, this paper proposed a new technology to assist drilling, Pulsed Arc Plasma Shockwave Technology (PAPST).\u0000 This technology converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to generate dynamic loads shockwave which can assist rock-breaking. Firstly, based on the fluid mechanics and bubble dynamics, the mechanism of shockwave generation was analyzed. Then, to verify the feasibility of PAPST technology, this paper conducted rock breaking experiment with shale samples from Longmaxi formation, China. Meanwhile, based on impact and damage mechanics, the mechanism of rock damage caused by dynamic load was analyzed.\u0000 The results show that shale samples were destroyed and there were cracks and collapse pits on shale samples after the impact of shockwave. Therefore, the application of PAPST technology to assist drilling is feasible, and the greater the discharge energy, the higher the efficiency of rock failure. Through theoretical analysis, it is found that the radial cracks of rock are caused by the tangential tensile stress, which is caused by the shockwave impacting the rock. The secant cracks are caused by the resultant force of the three component forces: the tangential and radial components of the force on the rock particle caused by the shockwave and the radial tensile force generated by the reflection of stress wave at the rock-water interface. The collapse pits are most likely caused by stress concentration.\u0000 For the first time, this paper proposed an idea of applying shockwave generated by PAPST to assist drilling for increasing the ROP in unconventional gas resources. And it also provided a theoretical basis for the application of PAPST in the field of oil drilling by analyzing the mechanism of shockwave generation in drilling fluids and the mechanism of rock breaking by shockwave.","PeriodicalId":11079,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Thu, November 15, 2018","volume":"157 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73738217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Video cameras have mostly been deployed using e-line; however, Coiled tubing camera runs provide the ability to clean the wellbore (by pumping fresh water or solvent) for capturing clearer, crisper videos and images.\u0000 As the oil and gas industry is moving towards improving operating efficiency, minimizing the coiled tubing runs based on actual downhole data is of utmost importance.

Whenever an obstruction is encountered in the well bore, the primary form of detecting it is to run a lead impression block (LIB) on slickline or e-line. In most cases the LIB results do not provide a clear indication of the anomaly or obstruction.

This paper will try to address the lessons learned from the recent appraisal wells in Khuff, the uncertainties and the success criteria.\u0000 There have been multiple wells drilled through the Khuff Formation in Offshore UAE in the last two years and have yielded a wealth of information from downhole well logs, mud logs, well test results and core data. The downhole logs acquired in these wells ranged from basic triple-combo and mud logs to image and dipole sonic logs, along with formation testing and sampling measurements, followed by well tests across the zones of interest. Interpretation of all these data have revealed some interesting lessons learned.\u0000 The shallow marine sequence of the Khuff Formation is generally characterized by poor porosity and low matrix permeability; however, the diagenetic overprint has resulted in a significant heterogeneity development, which controls the present-day porosity and permeability development at the wells. The well test results show variations in terms of 2 or 3 orders of magnitude at the same interval, which highlights potentially problematic development strategies. We have observed significant differences in terms of lithology, porosity and other reservoir quality indicators between wells, located a kilometre apart. Optimization of logging suite to minimize petrophysical evaluation uncertainty will be discussed. Characterising this heterogeneity is key for future economic success of this play. Possible role of fractures influencing flow from the Khuff have been discussed in older publications, however no conclusions were arrived at, with certainty. Presence of fractures and faults beyond the immediate vicinity of the well might be something to look at, in terms of understanding the potential productivity of those intervals.
