It is possible to predict the behavior of fluids in permeable and porous medium under different operating conditions by using reservoir models. Since geological data and reservoir properties can be defined most accurately by reservoir models, it has been accepted as a reliable prediction tool among reservoir engineers. In this study, a gas reservoir has been modeled with IMEX Module of CMG Reservoir Simulator. Rock properties, gas composition and certain production data were entered to the model as input data and the measured field data were matched with simulated ones. After the 5 year depletion of the reservoir by vertical wells, the average reservoir pressure dropped from an original reservoir pressure of 2150 psi to 1200 psi. This depleted reservoir was planned to be used for gas storage purposes. The remaining gas was used as cushion gas during the conversion of this reservoir to an underground gas storage field. Afterwards, horizontal wells were defined in the model and certain production/injection scenarios were simulated for the gas storage operation.

Analytical investigation of wet combustion process for heavy oil recovery
Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2004-12-01)
Analysis of combustion tube data produced from experiments performed under realistic reservoir conditions is currently the most valid method of investigating in-situ combustion process. In this study, the optimization of water-air ratio for B. Kozluca heavy crude oil, and the comparison of the performance of dry and wet forward combustion processes were studied. An analytical model was used to extend the laboratory results so that the oil production and steam zone volume can be estimated under field conditi...
Determination of Rheological Models for Drilling Fluids (A Statistical Approach)
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2004-01-16)
A rheological model conventionally characterizes non-Newtonian drilling fluids. Parameters of the rheological models are estimated by explicitly solving the required number of equations simultaneously. Rheological models are stochastic and this study considers only the deterministic part of the model. Observed data is accepted as arising from randomness due to the system. A nonlinear least squares method is applied to readings of 6 standard Fann viscometer speeds in order to estimate the models' parameters....
Determination of wettability and its effect on waterflood performance in limestone medium
Karabakal, U (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-03-01)
Wettability measurement methods, the effect of wettability on fluid distribution, and fluid flow in porous media were discussed, and the influence of rock wettability on the relative permeability and recovery of oil by waterflooding were investigated. Experimental studies were conducted on a total of 23 core plugs from two different limestone formations. Synthetic brine (NaCl solution) and mineral oil, which has a viscosity ratio of similar to10, were used as the test fluids. Core samples, saturated with sy...
Sensitivity Analysis of Major Drilling Parameters on Cuttings Transport during Drilling Highly-inclined Wells
Ozbayoglu, E. M.; Miska, S. Z.; Takach, N.; Reed, T. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, a layered cuttings transport model is developed for high-angle and horizontal wells, which can be used for incompressible non-Newtonian fluids as well as compressible non-Newtonian fluids (i.e., foams). The effects of major drilling parameters, such as flow rate, rate of penetration, fluid density, viscosity, gas ratio, cuttings size, cuttings density, wellbore inclination and eccentricity of the drillsting on cuttings transport efficiency are analyzed. The major findings from this study are,...
Empirical correlations for estimating filtrate volume of water based drilling fluids
Ozbayoglu, Evren; Gunes, Cagri; Apak, Esat C.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Iscan, A. Gurkan (Informa UK Limited, 2005-03-01)
Standard American Petroleum Institute (API) filter press is generally used for identifying the filtrate volume of drilling fluids and works only at very low pressures. In fact, during a drilling operation, at downhole conditions, the pressures encountered are significantly higher than what is used during standard API filter press tests. A relationship between the well-known fluid properties and the filtrate volume test is developed. In this study, experiments have been conducted for different water-clay mix...
