A New Analog for Numerical Flow Simulations Application to Direct Assessment of Reservoir Flow Performance Uncertainties
… to develop a technique for directassessment of reservoir flow performance uncertainties, as compared to manytraditional, computationally expensive techniques such as Monte Carlo simulations. This is achieved via a single stochastic flow simulation that combineslocal geologic uncertainty with a …

An adaptive space-time discontinuous Galerkin method for reservoir flows
… predicting engineering quantities of interest in reservoir flows. However, the general lack of autonomy and reliability prevents most numerical methods from being used to their full potential in engineering analysis. This thesis presents work towards the development of an efficient and robust …

Exploring anisotropy in rock fluid flow and elastic behavior
The difficulty in modeling hydrocarbon reservoirs stems from their inherent anisotropic and heterogeneous nature. Due to their simplicity, isotropic fluid flow and geomechanical models are often used in industry. In comparison to the isotropic models, anisotropic models require more data to be …

Evaluation of diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT) and rate transient analysis (RTA) in Hereford field, northern DJ Basin
Since the inception of unconventional reservoir development in the United States, hydraulic fracturing and acidizing have become the primary techniques for stimulating these ultra-low permeability reservoirs. Furthermore, unlike conventional reservoirs, unconventional reservoirs require a much …

Characterization of peptide release from neuronal cells with microfluidics and mass spectrometry
… One of the microdevices contains an inlet reservoir connected to three sampling channels. Neurons are loaded into the inlet, and the surrounding chemical environment is precisely controlled. The analytes are collected onto a derivatized surface as the media in the reservoir flow through the …

Ensemble-based reservoir history matching using hyper-reduced-order models
Subsurface flow modeling is an indispensable task for reservoir management, but the associated computational cost is burdensome owing to model complexity and the fact that many simulation runs are required for its applications such as production optimization, uncertainty quantification, and history …

Rheology and Flow Behaviour of Non-Newtonian, Polymeric Fluids in Capillaric and Porous Media: Aspects Related to Polymer Flooding for Enchanced Recovery of Heavy Oil
Heavy oil reservoirs under consideration for polymer flooding typically contain greater than 85% of the original oil in place (OOIP) after primary recovery and waterflooding. Many of these fields are operated at high producing water/oil ratios (WORs) only marginally above their economic limit due …

Simulation and optimisation of hydraulic fracturing and flowback in unconventional reservoirs: A case study in the Cooper Basin, South Australia
… and optimisation of hydraulic fracturing and flowback design in unconventional reservoirs using a case study from the Cooper Basin, South Australia. The Cooper Basin has a very large raw recoverable gas from unconventional gas resources estimated to be up to 187 trillion cubic feet. These …
