Energy Recovery from Oil Sands Reservoirs
Alberta's oil sands are the third largest proven crude oil reserve in the world, after Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. The proven reserve is ~165.4 billion barrels. At original reservoir conditions, for in-situ methods, the bitumen is too viscous to extract directly with viscosities of the order of …

Heterogeneous reservoirs in the marine carbon cycle
… we explore the relationship between the distinct reservoirs of organic carbon in the ocean and their underlying complexity. First, we show how the heterogeneity of portions of the carbon cycle can be packaged in terms of age structured models and their accompanying age and rate distributions. We …

Fracture Growth Kinematics in Tight Sandstone Reservoirs
… of fractures in low permeability sandstone reservoirs is essential for optimal hydrocarbon exploitation. In a linear elastic fracture mechanics framework, it is generally assumed that fractures widen in aperture while they propagate in length or height. However, it is also conceivable that a …

Gas-condensate flow modelling for shale gas reservoirs.
In the last decade, shale reservoirs emerged as one of the fast growing hydrocarbon resources in the world unlocking vast reserves and reshaping the landscape of the oil and gas global market. Gas-condensate reservoirs represent an important part of these resources. The key feature of these …

Formation waters in petroleum reservoirs : their controls and applications
… different locations (predominantly petroleum reservoirs) on five continents were evaluated. This information, together with local mineralogy, depth and temperature relations provided a sound basis from which to investigate the most important controls on formation water composition. In …

Mechanistic and probabilistic rate-time analysis of unconventional reservoirs
Rate-time analysis is a widely used technique to forecast production in oil and gas production. The geological complexity of shale formations and their ultra-low permeability creates significant uncertainty on the behavior of these wells and their production forecast. This work is divided into two …

Sauger Population Ecology in Three Missouri River Mainstem Reservoirs
… However, sauger populations in many of the reservoirs in South Dakota (between Montana and the lower basin) have relatively stable populations. Given the paucity of information on factors influencing sauger population ecology in general, and Missouri River populations in particular, I …

Mathematical Scaling and Statistical Modeling of Geopressured Geothermal Reservoirs
… interest for developing geopressured-geothermal reservoirs along the US Gulf Coast is increasing for securing energy needs and reducing global warming. Identifying the most attractive candidate reservoirs for geothermal energy production requires quick and simple models. Analytical models are not …

Pressure estimation using time-lapse seismic in compacting reservoirs
… from 4D amplitude attributes in compacting reservoirs. The time-lapse seismic signal in these types of reservoirs results from the combination of pressure depletion, rock compaction and stress redistribution within the reservoir and throughout the surrounding rocks. Simulations using …

Dynamics and Drivers: Carbon fluxes from temperate freshwater reservoirs
… energy budget. When considering freshwater reservoirs, these greenhouse gas emissions are anthropogenic, yet have received little research focus or integration into carbon budgets, despite having potential implications for policy makers. This thesis investigates the CH4 and CO2 flux dynamics …

Compositional modeling of gas injection in tight oil reservoirs
The commercial development of tight oil reservoirs has reshaped the landscape of the petroleum industry in North America. However, the recovery factor (RF) of tight oil with primary depletion is very low, mostly below 10%. With a large volume of remaining oil in tight oil reservoirs, the successful …

Modeling Storage and Flow of Fluids in Shale Reservoirs
Recent development of shale gas reservoirs has led to a revolution in the global energy market. The shale gas industry has expanded rapidly through the application of new drilling and completion technologies, particularly horizontal wells completed in multiple hydraulic fracture stages. While these …

Rate-Transient Analysis of Tight Oil and Gas Reservoirs
… applied to low-permeability (tight) oil and gas reservoirs in recent decades, resulting in commercial production. For each stage in a MFHW, the formation is fractured by injecting water and sand at high pressure. The resulting hydraulic fracture system enhances production from tight reservoirs by …
