Mousa HosseiniMehr, S. (author)Accurate numerical simulations of multiphase flow in fractured porous media require high resolution grids to explicitly capture the effect of fractures on the flow field without using excessively up-scaled quantities (e.g., modified rock permeabilities). For field-scale applications, as the consequence of large-scale domains and many explicit...master thesis 2016

Adhitomo Sulistyo, Adhitomo (author)One proposed method to delay the onset of gravity segregation between water and gas in enhanced oil and gas projects and extend the period of effective macroscopic sweep in “SWAG” is by separating the injection wells into two parallel horizontal wells (Stone, 2004). In this “modified SWAG”, the water injection well is aligned at a distance above...master thesis 2017

Ganapathy, Chandru (author)Designing strategies for efficient oil production from reservoirs rely heavily on reservoir simulation studies, which in-turn is based on various nonlinear formulations. It is therefore very important to develop a robust simulation model that captures the flow of various components present in different phases and the associated thermodynamic and...master thesis 2017

Ammiwala, Huzefa (author)A petroleum production system is generally modelled based on the concept of nodal analysis, where the entire system is broken down into discrete elements such as near-well bore, tubing, surface choke and flow line. Operating flow rates and pressures can be estimated with a nodal analysis procedure by calculation of the intersection of...master thesis 2017

HARSH, Aditya (author)It is well known in the oil & gas industry that mature oil fields with a water drive produce increasing volumes of oily produced water which require treatment and efficient disposal. It is a major concern of all waterflood operations now in the industry, to adopt cost effective and environmentally sound water disposal systems. Re-injection...master thesis 2017

Rizwan, Yawar (author)To date no efforts were published to (numerically) compute the pressure transients following shut-in for a fracture that during pumping was propagating at an arbitrary, not necessarily constant velocity; and to use these computations to systematically understand the physics (type curves) of pressure decline after shut-in for both very rapidly...master thesis 2017

de Hoop, Stephan (author)Under-sampling of the subsurface combined with scale differences in observations causes the estimation of geological parameters to be an ill-posed problem. As a result, only a subset of theoretically possible models can truly depict the reality. In reservoir modeling, we capture complexity and heterogeneity by representing the solution space...master thesis 2017

Shaik, Rahman (author)Acidisation is one of the oldest techniques for enhancing oil recovery, going back more than a 100 years ago. The accurate description of this physical and chemical phenomenon is not a straightforward task. The Darcy law, which is commonly used in continuum modelling at the macroscale, fails when the porosity approaches the unity due to a...master thesis 2017

Hazel, William (author)There is an increased need for modelling the Dutch overburden to improve the prediction of earthquakes and subsidence due to the extraction of hydrocarbons. Depending on the surface location, the subsidence model of the NAM can under or over predict the amount of subsidence by 4 to 5 cm. This is around 15 % of the current maximum subsidence of...master thesis 2017

Reerink, Ayla (author)Simulation to predict the well and reservoir performance is a very important and established process in reservoir engineering. Integrated production modeling allows improving the understanding of the field’s performance and production network, fluid flow behavior and optimization at any stage and level during the life of the field through...master thesis 2018

Sartori Suarez, Andrea (author)In the modeling of fractured reservoirs, the spatial representation plays an important role to enclose the heterogeneities present in the subsurface. The reservoir flow response obtained from simulation in time is determined by the type of method and by the scale of the representation (fine or coarse). As a deterministic model cannot capture the...master thesis 2018

Gonzalez Gonzalez, Isaac (author)A seismic survey acquired by the petroleum company Wintershall has been used for this study in order to characterize the fault and fractures present in the area using the latest seismic attribute techniques. With the use of the software OpendTect from dGB Earth Sciences and a methodology developed by (Jaglan Hardeep, 2016) and (Qayyum F, 2015)...master thesis 2018

Sokolova, Irina (author)We propose a multiscale finite volume method (MSFV) for simulation of coupled flow-deformation in heterogeneous porous media under elastic deformation (i.e., poroelastic model). The fine-scale fully resolved system of equations is obtained based on a conservative finite-volume method in which the displacement and pore pressure unknowns are...master thesis 2018

Al-Mansour, Abdulmohsen (author)The induced seismic activities and subsidence in the Groningen region urges for deeper investigation of the mechanical elastic parameters and lithological facies. A recently (2015) drilled well in the area of Zeerijp has provided a rich dataset from the Permian and Carboniferous to be analyzed and eventually help to understand and characterize...master thesis 2018

Toutouh, Azeddine (author)In 1949, Toms (Toms B.A., (1949, 1977)) observed that small amounts of a drag reducing agent (DRA) could cause a considerable drag reduction in turbulent pipe flow. In application of polymer enhanced oil recovery, degradation of polymers in the supply lead could cause clogging. It was, however observed that surfactants at sufficiently high...master thesis 2018

Kala, Keshav (author)We present a novel nonlinear formulation for modeling reactive-compositional flow and transport in presence of complex phase behavior due to combination of thermodynamic and chemical equilibrium in multi-phase systems. We apply this formulation to model precipitation/dissolution of minerals in reactive flow in subsurface reservoirs. The proposed...master thesis 2018

Haryo Dwi Prabowo, Haryo (author)In the Netherlands, the geothermal application is implemented to produce heat from a sedimentary aquifer in the subsurface for greenhouses and district heating. The most commonly used configuration is a doublet of wells, in which one injection- and one production well is drilled to produce warm water and re-inject cool water in the same target...master thesis 2018

Queroga Caldas, Luiza (author)Salt caverns formed by solution mining may cause soil subsidence, because the surrounding adapts to fill the void (cavity) created in the strata. The cavern volume is hence not only a function of salt extraction (estimated from mass balance) but also a function of salt creep. The cavern size can be measured by sonar, but a less costly way would...master thesis 2018

Konidala, Geetha Krishna (author)Compositional flow simulation is the best practise to model the complex enhanced oil recovery process. This involves solving highly coupled and non linear flow, transport equations.<br/>Interaction of components within different phases and the fluid interaction with rock properties makes it difficult to accurately predict the natural flow...master thesis 2018

Muhammad Adib Sinto Baskoro, Adib (author)The upper reservoir intervals of the Lower Jurassic Åre Formation in the Heidrun Field (Offshore mid-Norway) are very heterolithic and have the lowest oil recovery factor of the field despite significant amounts of remaining reserves. One of these reservoir zones is the formation Åre 6.2, which is mainly composed of tide-dominated heterolithic...master thesis 2018
