Abstract:
Abstract Over the past 20 years, a number of studies have reported temperature effects on two-phase relative permeabilities in porous media. Some of the reported results, however, have been contradictory. Also, observed effects have not been explained in terms of fundamental properties known to govern two-phase flow. The purpose of this study was to attempt to isolate the fundamental properties affecting two-phase relative permeabilities at elevated temperatures. Laboratory dynamic-displacement relative permeability measurements were made on unconsolidated and consolidated sand cores with wate

The SDT-A sonic tool was tested in a borehole in the Orinoco heavy oil belt, eastern Venezuela. The sonically slow reservoir consists of unconsolidated quartz sand interbedded with shale. Full‐waveform analysis yields both compressional and shear slownesses. We calculated the shear‐wave slowness from the Stoneley slowness; compressional and Stoneley slownesses were determined using modified semblance techniques. The compressional velocity is relatively fast in the heavy oil pay zone compared to the remainder of the well. Heavy oil (8 API) possesses a finite rigidity at sonic frequencies, and t

Understanding the conversion characteristics of pore water is crucial for investigating the mechanism of hydrate accumulation; however, research in this area remains limited. This study conducted methane hydrate formation experiments in unconsolidated sands using an in-house low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system. It focused on pore water conversion characteristics and influencing factors such as initial water saturation and sand particle sizes. Results show that methane hydrate formation enhances the homogeneity of the effective pore structure within sand samples. The conversion ra

Abstract:
Laboratory creep experiments show that dry unconsolidated reservoir sands follow a power law function of time (at constant stress), and cyclic loading tests (at quasi‐static frequencies of 10−6 to 10−2 Hz) show that the bulk modulus increases by a factor of two with increasing frequency while attenuation remains constant. In this paper, we attempt to model these observations using linear viscoelasticity theory by considering several simple phenomenological models. We investigated two classes of models: spring‐dashpot models, which are represented by exponential functions with a single relaxati

Abstract:
All types of velocity data, i.e., surface seismic and well log or sonic log data, indicate that velocity in shallow, unconsolidated sands is lower than in associated shales, while velocity in older sands in more consolidated rock sequences is higher than in their associated shales. As the low‐velocity sands compact to become the high‐velocity member in the sand‐shale sequence, sand and shale velocities must become equal or crossover at some age and depth of burial. If the same type of velocity data is used consistently, this crossover occurs at the same depth and age of rocks in the geologic s

Abstract Cementing through weak sand and unconsolidated formations are a common occurrence in today's drilling operations. Main challenges include well control, poor zonal isolation, failed top of cement objectives that could lead to a shortened lifespan of wells. From annular gas migration through micro annulus to getting the top of cement to an undesired depth below referenced hydrocarbon sands, cementing through unconsolidated formations can lead to an increase in the cost of delivering a well. There are different methods deployed in cementing through unconsolidated zones. Stage cementing i

Abstract Large reserves of High-Viscous Oil in Kuwait calls for Improved Oil Recovery scenarios. In Kuwait unconsolidated sandstone formations, the sandstone intervals represent extensive reservoir intervals of sand separated by laterally extensive non-reservoir intervals that comprise finer-grained, argillaceous sands, silts and muds. The reservoir is shallow with high permeability (above 1000 mD) and under bottom aquifer pressure support. Due to strong viscosity contrast between oil and water, after breakthrough, the water cut rises quickly resulting in strong loss of production efficiency.

Abstract:
Abstract Sand production associated with oil and gas producers is one of the oldest problems in the industry and is typically in unconsolidated sandstone formations. The stresses caused by the fluids flowing into the wellbore are often sufficient to produce fine sand particles. Sand production may cause operational problems such as disposal of produced sand, sand erosion of downhole and surface equipment, and loss of primary containment (LOPC), which is the most important reason for controlling sand production. In actual field operation, a sand management program is usually implemented to mana
