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...

Non-Newtonian foam flow in a reservoir can be modeled numerically by discretization of the corresponding analytical formulas. The injection of foam is compared to the injection of water by comparing the injection pressures, which is represented as a dimensionless pressure rise at the injection well. The model first applies the forward-difference...

In the context of natural-technological (natech) accidents, flood-induced damage of industrial plants have received relatively less attention mainly due to the scarcity of such accidents compared to those triggered by earthquakes, high winds, and lightnings. The large amount of oil spillage due to floods triggered by the Hurricanes Katrina and...

The paper analyses the economic and environmental benefits of charging electric vehicles (EV) at workplaces in the Netherlands using photovoltaic panels (PV). A 10kW EV-PV charging system is used to charge the electric cars directly from photovoltaic panels. The cost of using a gasoline vehicle is compared with that of an electric vehicle that...

Polymer flooding is an important EOR method in heavy oil reservoirs, where field studies showed a recovery up to 59%. However, accurate assessment of injectivity of viscous polymer solutions can give major challenges. Little research has been devoted to pressure build-up phenomena with polymer injection in porous media. Therefore, the objective...

The oil industry is at the backbone of global economy and, as natural resources are becoming scarce, there is a pressing need for efficient extraction strategies. This has led to the development of reservoir models and simulators, able to predict future field behaviour, when paired with accurate geological information. However, the data obtained...

The present standards for core interpretation do not contain the acquisition of high resolution images from core slabs; images are taken on a very low resolution under a poor light source for administrative purposes only. The advantages of taking high resolution images and subsequent analysis of these images could be substantial and are...

Global energy use is increasing. As societies advance, they will continue to need energy to power residential and commercial buildings, in the industrial sector, for transportation and other vital services. To satisfy this rising demand, liquid, natural gas, coal, nuclear power and renewable fuel sources are extensively developed. Particularly...

This text forms part of material taught during a course in advanced reservoir simulation at Delft University of Technology over the past 10 years. The contents have also been presented at various short courses for industrial and academic researchers interested in background knowledge needed to perform research in the area of closed-loop...

With a high demand of oil, optimization of oil output in the reservoir field is urgent and significant. Practical production problems often involve large, highly complex reservoir models, with up to thousands of unknowns and many constraints. Moreover, our understanding of the reservoir is always highly uncertain, and this uncertainty can be...

Kaleta, M.P. (author)
Since the world's energy demand increases every year, the oil & gas industry makes a continuous effort to improve fossil fuel recovery. Physics-based petroleum reservoir modeling and closed-loop model-based reservoir management concept can play an important role here. In this concept measured data are used to improve the geological model, while...

Areas of research - Petroleum microbiology: Determination of the microbial diversity of oil reservoirs and oil associated ecosystems (wellhead samples and oil field core samples). This research is performed to investigate if microbes can serve as indicators for changing conditions in subsurface environments and if they have a potential use in so...

Carbonated Water Flooding (CWF) is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method where an oil reservoir is flooded with water containing dissolved CO2. It is being considered as a promising EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) method for maturing light and heavy oil fields. A numerical and experimental study of the CWF was conducted, focusing on the underlying...

The demand for petroleum is expected to increase in the coming decades, while the production of petroleum from subsurface reservoirs is becoming increasingly complex. To meet the demand petroleum reservoirs should be operated more efficiently. Physics-based petroleum reservoir models that describe the flow in subsurface porous media can play an...

Due to urgent needs to increase efficiency in oil recovery from subsurface reservoirs new technology is developed that allows more detailed sensing and actuation of multiphase flow properties in oil reservoirs. One of the examples is the controlled injection of water through injection wells with the purpose to displace the oil in an appropriate...

Markovinovic, R. (author)
This thesis is concerned with low-order modelling of heterogeneous reservoir systems for the purpose of efficient simulation and optimization of flooding processes with multiple injection and production (smart) wells. Typically, one is initially equipped with a physics-based ('white-box') model consisting of O(103-106) equations and parameters...

Rommelse, J.R. (author)
The research presented in this thesis aims at improving computer models that allow simulations of water, oil and gas flows in subsurface petroleum reservoirs. This is done by integrating, or assimilating, measurements into physics-bases models. In recent years petroleum technology has developed rapidly. Nowadays wells can be drilled to a depth...

Zandvliet, M.J. (author)
The coming years there is a need to increase production from petroleum reservoirs, and there is an enormous potential to do so by increasing the recovery factor. This is possible by making better use of recent technological developments, such as horizontal wells, downhole valves and sensors. However, actually making better use of these improved...

This paper deals with the application of steam to enhance the recovery from petroleum reservoirs. We formulate a mathematical and numerical model that simulates coinjection of volatile oil with steam into a porous rock in a one-dimensional setting. We utilize the mathematical theory of conservation laws to validate the numerical simulations....
