Abstract Permeability and rock typing are two of the main outputs generated from petrophysical domain particularly contributors to highest degree uncertainty during history matching process in reservoir modeling, with subsequent high impact field development decisions. Detailed core analysis is preferred source information estimate permeability assign types; however, since there generally more un-cored than cored wells, logs most frequently applied predict types each data point model. The...
A standard digital rock physics workflow aims to simulate petrophysical properties of samples using few millimeter size subsets scanned with X-ray microtomography at a high resolution around 1 μm. The is mainly based on image analysis and simulation procedures subset scale leading potential uncertainties errors that cannot be quantified experimentally. To overcome the gap between scales, we propose integrate three-dimensional (3D) printing technology generate enlarged where experimental...
Abstract 3D geocellular static models are the key input for fluid flow simulations with main aim to predict future reservoir performance a particular recovery scheme. Since predictability of dynamic model depends on quality model, it is imperative that data, modelling workflow, methodologies and approaches verified validated prior sanction model. The objective this paper therefore discuss process performing assurance control (QA/QC) exhibiting real field examples from Middle East carbonate...
An updated heat-flow database for Brazil is presented providing details of measurements carried out at 406 sites. It has been organized as per the scheme proposed by International Heat Flow Commission. The data sets refer to results obtained using methods referred interval temperature logs (ITL), underground mines (UMM), bottom-hole temperatures (BHT), stable bottom (SBT) and water wells (AQT). compilation provides information on depths logs, gradient determinations, thermal conductivity...
Abstract The objective of this paper is to discuss the process reservoir/field data aggregation, verification and validation process, extract some key determinant reservoir parameters be used in recovery factor (RF) benchmarking against global analogs. subsequent step perform benchmark performance fields with similar characteristics field development plans (FDPs), using digital databases analytic tools. use mining analytics also attempted estimate RFs for undeveloped reservoirs. RF...
Updated data sets on terrestrial heat flow and thermal springs have been employed in outlining the nature of deep-seated geothermal resources Parana basin. A 1o x1o grid system was adopted for processing determinations vertical distributions excess temperatures. The results obtained led to an improved understanding occurrence high temperature allowed estimates associated resource base. It has possible identify more than 20 crustal blocks where base per unit area, referred accessible depth...
A reappraisal of geothermal data the mainland Africa has been carried out based on sets available at IHFC website, incremented with updated information volcanic activities post Holocene times. Our compilation makes use 1480 heat flow values that include 1327 observational supplemented 36 estimates derived from flow-age relation. In addition, method magmatic budget (MHB) employed in deriving deep crustal for 117 sites recent activity, most it located Ethiopia. These were regrouped into...
Abstract Carbonate reservoirs contain almost half of the world's hydrocarbon proven reserves. Because horizontal and vertical heterogeneities present in cyclic carbonate reservoirs, more than 50% oil these rocks is trapped or bypassed yet to be recovered, even after water injection. This fact by itself motivated researchers investigate ways improve recovery factors implementing new schemes coupled with advanced well designs completions. paper aims analyze value adding ICDs (In Flow Control...
A regional assessment of geothermal resources the continental region Europe is attempted in present work. It based on results observational data heat transfer by conduction as well hydrothermal and magmatic processes upper crust makes use reported at website IHFC also estimates available information occurrences thermal springs volcanic events. The resource has been carried out for 8109 sites distributed 39 countries. These datasets were reevaluated spatially gridded using kigrid...
Através da investigação de áreas risco escorregamento massa localizadas na cidade Teófilo Otoni, foram identificadas três com intensa atividade erosiva, as quais classificadas como voçorocas, sendo a voçoroca 1 no bairro Funcionários, 2 São João e 3 Vila Barreiros. Foram realizadas visitas campo para levantamento informações sobre origem desses fenômenos, inclusive utilização drone. levantadas características que influenciam diretamente nos processos erosivos, tais como: geologia, relevo,...
Abstract The key ‘flow drivers’ of an Early Cretaceous reservoir are described and correlated region-wide in Abu Dhabi – these identified as being the same features a series fields layer-controlled. Three geological drivers control water-cut evolution, showing consistent stratigraphic relationships and, hence, will they provide guidance both modelling developing other fields, predicting water movement paths elsewhere. This is first time that assessment correlation flow has been made...
Abstract The use of Lab NMR, MICP, electrical resistivity measurements and conventional core analysis coupled with petrographic investigations, enabled the authors to understand pore structure several carbonate samples establish a link between geometries, Archie's cementation exponent, capillary pressure behavior NMR T2 response. lab work was performed on 68 plugs retrieved from 5 vertical wells completed Cretaceous reservoir, located at different structural positions (from crest, mid-flank...

Abstract The objective of the paper is to share knowledge on an innovative design conventional dummy gas lift valves (GLV) which allows deployment water tracers within a polymer matrix (Figure-1). These are released in contact with and detectable at surface as soon breaks through well. This technology does not compete established more expensive tracer downhole, segmented horizontal wells, for instance, whereby reservoir zones producing detectable. Here, upper completion any well equipped...
This study aimed to morphometric characterization of the watershed Todos os Santos River (TSR), located in northeast Minas Gerais Brazil. The is one most important tributaries Mucuri Valley. Based on digital elevation model, known as SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) data were processed open software obtain slope, elevations and aspect values, addition delineate extracting streams, which presented through maps, tables graphs.
