    Investigation of Local Weighting Materials as a Substitute To Barite In Drilling Mud Formulation

    By Falode O.A., Alawode A., Ehinola O.A., Boore D.A.

    Abstract: Weighting materials are important components needed to increase the density of drilling mud in order to provide enough hydrostatic pressure to balance abnormalpore pressures. In Nigeria, millions of dollars are spent annually in importing barite to serve this purpose. However, there exists large reserves of weighting materials such as barite, hematite, dolomite, calcite, ilmenite in Nigeria hence the need to investigate the suitability of these materials as substitute for imported …

    Capacitance–Resistance Model Application to Reservoirs Primarily Under Aquifer Influx

    By Phoebe J.O., Alawode A., Falode O.A.

    Abstract: Previous Capacitance – Resistance Models that have been developed to characterise black oil reservoirs undergoing waterflooding do not apply to waterflooding of reservoirs primarily under aquifer influxresulting in significant error. This paper has attempted to overcome this limitation by presenting the aquifer influx as a pseudo injector whose injection rate is represented by an existing aquifer model.The influencing parameters of the model have been modified to include an aquifer influx …
