    Comparative Study between Smart Controls and Conventional Bottom Hole Completions

    By Victus Kordorwu, Perez Antwi Boafo, Joel Teye Tetteh, Kwabena Okyere Nyako

    Abstract: This research project made use of Schlumberger’s “ECLIPSE 100” reservoir simulator to predict the performance of a reservoir with an overlying gas cap and an underlying aquifer (i.e., a three- phase Water-Oil-Gas reservoir) under conventional BHC techniques. Additional work was done to ascertain the suitability of incorporating an Intelligent Well (IW) to deal with water production problem by placing Inflow Control Valves (ICV) at particular segments in the well to …

    Effects of Fracture Properties on Oil Recovery in Tight Reservoirs

    By Victus Kordorwu, Fuseinatu Latif, Kwabena Okyere Nyako, Joel Teye Tetteh, Quaye Carl Anthony

    Abstract: Unconventional reservoirs, characterized by low permeability are gradually becoming a force to reckon with in today’s world owing to the rapid depletion of conventional resources. However, low oil production from tight reservoirs can be mitigated by implementing hydraulic fracturing. In this study, Schlumberger’s eclipse-100 simulator was used to simulate various scenarios in order to determine the best fracture geometry and the effects of fracture properties on oil recovery. The properties …
