A Study of the Effect of Relative Permeability and Residual Oil Saturation on Oil Recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)The depletion of oil production and the low recovery rate are the major challenges faced in oil production. Several studies have shown that considerable amount of oil still remains in the reservoir after the well shutdown. ... -
Computational study of fingering phenomenon in heavy oil reservoir with water drive
(Journal article, 2015)The objective of this paper is to numerically study the flow in heavy oil reservoir with water drive. The main focus is to investigate the viscous fingering phenomenon and how it affects the oil recovery. Two-dimensional ... -
Computational Study of Heavy Oil Production with Inflow Control Devices
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)Recovery of heavy oil is associated with challenges in terms of early water or gas breakthrough caused by the fingering phenomenon. This study is related to Californian heavy oil production and includes 2D simulations of ... -
Near Well Simulation and Modelling of Oil Production From Heavy Oil Reservoirs
(Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)Heavy oil reservoirs cover up two third of the world's hydrocarbon reservoirs. Even though it is vast energy resource, heavy oil recovery is not considered economical due to its high viscous properties. Generally horizontal ... -
Near Well Simulation of Extra-Heavy Oil Production Using SAGD
(Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)Heavy oil and bitumen represent a massive world resource more than twice the size of global reserves of light or conventional oil. In reservoirs with extra heavy oil and bitumen, thermal methods are used to reduce the oil ... -
Nearwell Simulation of a horizontal well in Atlanta Field in Brazil with AICV® completion using OLGA/Rocx
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)Brazil has special attention in the world oil scenario due its recent findings of oil reservoirs. Most of these reservoirs are heavy oil. The increasing energy consumption and discovery of heavy oil reservoirs require more ...
