This paper presents a seamlessly integrated naturally fractured reservoir (NFR) modeling process for the ongoing Bati Raman heavy oil field rejuvenation project. As a part of the project, remedy of ongoing immiscible CO2 injection and successfully achievement of a near term steam flooding pilot test depend on understanding the heterogeneous natural fracture system. The naturally fractured rock and vug characteristics of the reefal/subreefal carbonate reservoir, and lateral and vertical facies distributions have been a challenge for establishing a successful 3D conformance process. An improved static model was constructed using the results of 2D and 3D seismic, sedimentological model and systematic fracture characterization. The new 3D seismic survey helped to identify the fracture regions, and had direct input to the new reservoir model with new structural information as well as fracture attributes. Fracture density and apertures of rare large true fractures were observed in the reservoir both on cores using a drill-core imaging system, and in FMI log findings. FMI logs provided the textures of vugs as well, ranging from less than 1 mm to 5 cm in size. The vuggy porous medium was handled in two ways: the interconnected vugs added into the fracture system since they build major pathways in the fractures between injector-producer pairs, while the isolated vugs are a part of the matrix system adjusted for compressibility. Matrix and fracture properties were distributed using sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) and neural network algorithm constrained to the conventional log profiles within a 3D structural framework. This was followed by a calibration of well tests and CO2 breakthrough patterns, and hydrocarbon volume uncertainty assessment. The methodology optimizes a multi-disciplined integration and interpretation workflow for an unconventional multi-porosity complex model that is required in the distribution of flow properties such as saturation and pressure.

Analysis of pressure behaviors and flow regimes of naturally and hydraulically fractured unconventional gas reservoirs using multi-linear flow regimes approach Al-Rbeawi, Salam (2017-09-01) This paper targets the applicability of multi-linear flow regimes approach in gas reservoirs having multiple porous media: matrix, natural fractures, and hydraulic fractures. The approach attempts to understand pressure profiles and flow regimes developed in some of unconventional shale layers that have already been naturally fractured. In this paper, the main focus is given to fluid flow phenomenon from the matrix towards naturally induced fractures and from these fractures to the hydraulic fractures. Stud...
A MULTISCALE MODELING APPROACH TO UNDERSTAND MECHANISM OF DEPOSIT CONTROL BY LUBRICANT DETERGENTS AND DISPERSANTS Kan, Esra; Yıldırım, Erol; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2022-7-29) With the recent developments in high performance computing power, molecular modeling calculations to design and improve new generation additives for engine oils have reached a level that can support and guide experimental results. Control of insoluble nanoparticle aggregations in oil and on the engine pistons is the most important key performance parameter for lubricant oil additives. General consensus about the mechanism of deposit build-up is the self-aggregation of nanosized insoluble structures. Deterge...
How much stimulated reservoir volume and induced matrix permeability could enhance unconventional reservoir performance Al-Rbeawi, Salam (2017-10-01) This paper investigates the impacts of stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) on reservoir performance for unconventional hydraulically fractured formations. It focuses also on the effects of different petrophysical properties of SRV as well as different volume and petrophysical properties of unstimulated part of porous media (USRV). The influences of hydraulic fracture conductivity, fracture assymmetricity, and non-Darcy flow permeability in reservoir pressure profile have been substantially studied in this pap...
Experimental Investigation of the Original Project of Yukari Kalekoy Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant Spillway Göğüş, Mustafa; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Köken, Mete (Elsevier BV; 2016-06-17) Hydraulic model tests of the spillway of Yukar Kalekoy Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) were carried out at Hydromechanics Laboratory of Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara. In order to investigate the flow conditions in the approach channel, over the weir structure, around the spillway piers, along the spillway chute channels and after the flip buckets, and also to observe the performance of the aeration devices, a model of 1/70 length scale was constructed. The model area covers an abou...
A preliminary design approach for Güledar irrigation dam project Karpuz, Celal (1996-03-01) This paper describes the results of engineering geological and rock mechanics studies carried out at the Güledar irrigation dam project. Project is designed to regulate the drainage and to irrigate the agricultural areas. The dam site is located within Güledar Sirkeli formations composed of sandstone, limestone and diabase. Studies maintained both at field and laboratory. Field studies included geological mapping, core drilling, sampling for laboratory testing, pressurized water tests, and intensive discont...
