Fuciños Manrique, R.L. (author)Oil shales are sedimentary rocks containing organic matter in the form of Kerogen which accounts for more than 5 trillion barrels of oil in place according to Birol, 2010; therefore, oil shales represents a plausible solution for the constantly increasing demand for hydrocarbons. Oil shale production is currently done using two different...master thesis 2017

Leo, T. (author)Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation method to serve the enhancement of well productivity. The fracture creates a high conductive pathway into the formation. This improves the flow performance, bypasses damage and possibly connects additional dynamic gas. In the Netherlands, 252 wells were hydraulically fractured since 1954. This constitutes...master thesis 2017

Azimi, F. (author)A series of core-flood tests were performed to evaluate the EOR potential of some immiscible N2 injection schemes. Injections were conducted either in a (1) continuous mode or (2) water-alternating-gas (WAG) mode into Bentheimer sandstone cores previously saturated with model synthetic oil. Furthermore, CT imaging has been utilized in some tests...master thesis 2016

Jongerius, M. (author)Compaction occurs in many consolidated hydrocarbon reservoirs and is responsible for both improvement and loss of recovery. This study assesses the effects of rock compaction and the consequences on the production and recovery in unconsolidated shallow gas reservoir a topic of which little is known. The compaction behaviour in unconsolidated to...master thesis 2016

Busch, S.P. (author)The partitioning inter-well tracer test (PITT) is a method to determine average oil saturation between an injector-producer pair. Tracer tests can be used to quantify incremental oil recovery in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) pilots and for reservoir surveillance purposes. This study provides a sensitivity analysis of the inter-well tracer test,...master thesis 2016

Getrouw, N.A.S. (author)Foam has many useful features as an injection fluid for EOR. One of the most important aspects, is to reduce the gas mobility in a porous media. The manners in which the mobility of gas is reduced, is both by the increase of the gas apparent viscosity and by the trapping of the gas within the porous media, which reduces the relative permeability...master thesis 2016

Janmahomed, F.R. (author)Many authors already made an attempt to understand the effect of load-cycling on material strength and the evolution of elastic parameters. However, until now there was no study on the effect of load-cycling on the evolution of elastic parameters over the complete stress strain curve, i.e. the linear elastic regime, the fracturing regime, and...master thesis 2016

Alderete Berzabá, A. (author)The objective of this thesis is to implement a data assimilation algorithm for production data as a first step in dealing with uncertainties in nodal analysis. The methodology is based on the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), a data assimilation technique that aims to optimally combine uncertain ‘prior’ model predictions and uncertain measured data...master thesis 2016

Asrul, F. (author)Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) are important because they hold a significant quantity of oil reserves. Researchers build reservoir simulators to help them studying and predicting NFR performance. Some of them use the dual-porosity concept in their reservoir simulator, where the model consists of two continua: matrix and fracture. Fluid...master thesis 2016

Ricardo, M. (author)Deltaic reservoirs are important reservoirs for the oil and gas production. Most of the hydrocarbons produced from deltaic reservoirs are obtained from the matrix or primary porosity. Besides primary porosity, secondary porosity, formed after deposition takes place, can have a positive contribution on hydrocarbon production. One of the processes...master thesis 2016

Sharifian, R. (author)Predicting accurate temperature profiles in flowing wells can greatly improve the design of production facilities in petroleum and geothermal engineering. Temperature profiles help to calculate accurate two-phase-flow pressure drop predictions, which, in turn, can improve an artificial-lift system design. Existing temperature correlations are...master thesis 2016

Prabhakaran, R. (author)In hydraulic fracture modelling, fracture geometry along with the net pressure distribution in the fracture are the parameters the values of which are sought to be predicted away from the wellbore. In current industry standard fracture modelling packages, fracture dimensions are obtained from equilibrium height growth simulation models that are...master thesis 2016

Roijmans, R.F.H. (author)Optimization of drilling fluid properties is an essential part of cost effective drilling operations and process safety. Currently fluid properties are measured and optimized manually by human engineers with different skills and experience which might lead to nonoptimum drilling fluid properties that deteriorate its functionalities. Automated...master thesis 2016

Nooney, K.C. (author)In the current plans of Delft Aardwarmte Project (DAP), it is considered to perform the drilling operation by using pipes which remain in the well after drilling thus acting as a casing, the so-called “Casing While Drilling” (CwD) technique. Due to the absence of drill pipe tripping prior to casing the well, this technique results in reduced...master thesis 2015

Peters, S.A. (author)In the Netherlands, a significant number (25+) of small tight natural gas fields are stranded. They are classified, according to the PRMS definition, as ‘contingent resources’. The combination of low GIIP and low permeability currently do not allow these fields to be developed economically without stimulation, which is usually required to...master thesis 2015

Broens, M.M.J. (author)The formation of microemulsions of an EOR surfactant with n-decane was studied in a microfluidic setup using fluorescence microscopy. Generally microemulsions are studied under static conditions by means of phase behavior tests. However, oil mobilization fromreservoirs is a dynamic process and therefore it is important to understand how...master thesis 2015

Hassan, A.M. (author)Characterization of fluid properties is significant in the petroleum engineering practice, especially in solvent-based enhanced oil recovery (SEOR) where the use of injected chemicals should ideally be reduced to the bare minimum in order to minimize the costs and environmental impact of SEOR. However, current techniques for measurement inside...master thesis 2015

Smorenburg, B. (author)Producing an oil well is a transient process, and although we like to assume there is a steady state phase in the production life, it is a fragile situation. Due to the many unknowns in the reservoir, changes in well production performance cannot easily be predicted. Changes in the subsurface will influence the production and lifetime of the...master thesis 2015
