Abstract:

Although reservoirs formed from ephemeral-fluvial sandstones have previously been considered relatively simple, unresolved problems of sandbody correlation and production anomalies demonstrate the need for improved understanding of their internal complexity. Ephemeral flows occur in direct response to precipitation, receiving little or no water from springs or other long-continued sources. They consequently predominate in dryland regions where precipitation is high in intensity, short lived and of limited areal extent. Resulting flow is high energy, relatively shallow and also restricted in du

Hydrocarbon reservoir modelling plays a central role in the exploration and production of reservoirs.

Abstract:

The prediction of the stress field distribution induced by the pore pressure change in deep hydrocarbon reservoirs and the consequent compaction of the porous rock formation is modeled with the aid of a Finite-Element (FE) geomechanical model. Despite the reliability of the model, which has been tested in several previous applications, many sources of uncertainty may affect the model outcome in terms of ground surface displacements. The uncertainty are mainly related to the mathematical model itself, that is an approximation reproducing a real and complex system, the initial and boundary condi

Exploring unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs and enhancing the recovery of hydrocarbon from conventional reservoirs are necessary for meeting the society's ever-increasing energy demand and requires a thorough understanding of the multiphase interfacial and transport phenomena in these reservoirs.

Abstract:

This study used petrographic thin sections, scanning electron microscopy, and confocal laser microscopy to document microbially mediated dissolution of carbonate reservoir rocks. The samples studied came from three carbonate units that are hydrocarbon reservoirs; the Salem, Sligo, and Smackover formations. These samples were inoculated with bacteria, and then treated with nutrient solutions followed by ethanol to promote generation of acetic acid by bacteria. Dissolution occurred in calcite-dominated rocks and in dolomitized rocks. Noticeable changes first occurred after nine weeks of ethanol

Abstract:

The full understanding of the initial state of petroleum reservoirs and the fluxes that lead to compositional variations have become of huge interest to the petroleum industry. The compositional variation of reservoir fluid has great commercial impact on reservoir management and field development as it affects the value of the hydrocarbon in place, what recovery mechanisms applied and the treatment process of the extracted fluid if necessary. Lateral and vertical variation in hydrocarbon density and composition between wells are observed in many oil reservoirs under appraisal. These gradations

Abstract:

Development of high pressure-high temperature (RPHT) reservoirs is increasingly being pursued world wide to exploit hydrocarbon from deep formation. Due to their extreme conditions (can be up to 2000e and 16000 psia), composition of RPHT fluids can be considerably different from that of conventional reservoirs, particularly the concentration of heavy hydrocarbons in the vapour phase can be quite high. Also, at high temperature the amount of water dissolved in the reservoir hydrocarbon phase could be significant and should be taken into account in detennining the phase and volumetric properties

Improving methods of hydrocarbon production and developing new techniques for the creation of natural gas storage facilities are critically important for the petroleum industry. This dissertation focuses on two key topics: (1) mechanisms of sand production from petroleum reservoirs and (2) mechanical characterization of caverns created in carbonate rock formations for natural gas storage. Sand production is the migration of solid particles together with the hydrocarbons when extracted from petroleum reservoirs. It usually occurs from wells in sandstone formations that fail in response to stres

Borehole sonic measurements are an important tool to characterize formation and completion properties of hydrocarbon or water reservoirs. Such measurements can provide direct information about rock physical parameters such as permeability or elastic moduli. These properties are obtained from guided waves propagating along boreholes. The so called tube wave or Stoneley wave is a symmetric mode which compresses the fluid column leading to a piston like motion. If the medium around the borehole wall is permeable, the radial expansion of the fluid column will result in fluid flow across the boreho

Abstract:

In the next 20 years, the global demand for oil is forecast to grow by 0.7% every year, and the demand for natural gas will increase by 1.6% annually. But as we continue to produce oil and gas, the resources of our current oilfields are depleting. To meet the rising global energy demand, it is essential that we can keep discovering more petroleum resources in the future. The primary aim of this PhD project is to deepen our understanding of hydrocarbon reservoirs and enhance our ability to explore. The first project looked at the geological risks in hydrocarbon exploration. It reviewed and stat

Abstract:

Hydrocarbon (HC) pollution is a worldwide threat to marine natural ecosystems due to the increasing exploitation of underground marine petroleum deposits in several areas and to the high traffic of oil tankers and the presence of submarine pipes that are main transport routes for crude oil and refined products. HCs spread in the marine environment is mainly due to accidental oil spills or inadequate practices and their release affects marine ecosystems causing severe ecological and economical damages. The Mediterranean Sea is particularly endangered by hydrocarbon pollution because of its phys

Abstract:

Production activities within a hydrocarbon reservoir, such as extracting oil or injecting fluid, result in changes in stress which consequently cause micro-earthquakes. The induced micro-seismic events are small earthquakes producing high frequency waves which can be used to give a hi-resolution image of the hydrocarbon reservoir. However, induced micro-seismic events are usually too small in magnitude to be detected on the surface due to seismic wave attenuation through the overburden rocks. In addition, we lack information about their hypocentres and origin times. Besides, because the ray-pa
