Stimulation techniques are used to encourage production to flow from the reservoir rocks. Hydrocarbons are located in the spaces between pores of reservoir rock. Production is achieved when these pore ...

Increasing petroleum explorations indicate that the formation of many reservoirs is in close association with deep hot fluids, which can be subdivided into three groups including crust-derived hot ...

A new technique estimates the average capillary pressure curve for a reservoir. Data from the Western Desert in Egypt were used to develop the correlations. Application of the method to four ...

Oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) companies must perform one very important phase after drilling a well to its total depth. They need to prepare the well for production of oil or gas—in ...

Interwell chemical tracers are used as a tool to help understand a reservoir in a quantitative way. An interwell tracer program provides the direction of fluid movement from a particular injector to ...
