Comparison between spreadsheet and specialized programs in calculating the effect of scale deposition on the well flow performance
Formation damage is an undesirable operational and economic problem that causes a reduction in the productivity, skin damage, and decrease in well performance. Formation damage occurs during the various phases of oil and gas recovery from subsurface reservoirs including production, drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and work over operations. Formation damage assessment, control, and remediation are among the...

Modeling of thermal cracking process in a crude oil refinery
In a thermal cracking process, the molecular bonds of the liquid are broken to the lighter ones. Recently due to the availability of more heavy oils, the process interest was to yield light and middle distillate products. In this research, thermal cracking of vacuum residue in a commercial soaker-visbreaking plant is studied. The product of the process is characterized to the light gas (C1, C2), liquefied...

Variation of petrophysical properties due to carbon dioxide (CO2) storage in carbonate reservoirs
Depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, deep saline reservoirs, and un-mineable coal seams are considered the best geological sequestration candidates for carbon dioxide (CO2) geologic storage formations. CO2 sequestration in carbonate reservoirs provides a good way to reduce CO2 release to the atmosphere. This work investigates the effect of the temperature, pressure, and brine salinity on the...
