Real-time Gas Lift Valve to Enhance Well Performance
Abstract: Optimum production from a gas lift well mainly depends on proper injection gas quantity; injection pressure and depth of injection and gas lift valve performance. The quality of down hole gas lift valves plays a crucial role in achieving maximum efficiency of a gas lift system and uninterrupted oil and gas production. Gas lift valves can aid in the unloading and produce of a well. With the valves properly spaced …

The Effects of Dissolved Sodium Chloride (NaCl) on Well Injectivity during CO2 Storage into Saline Aquifers
Abstract: Among different options proposed for carbon dioxide (CO2) storage and sequestration, saline formations seem promising due to their wide availability and potentially large storage capability. As supercritical (SC) CO2 is injected into the formation, a variety of coupled processes takes place. Halite precipitation requires particular interest due to its potentially significant impact on permeability impairment, and thus reduction of injectivity in the near well bore region. The selected candidate for …

Contemplation of Coal Bed Methane in Petroleum Industry
Abstract: The hunger for energy has been on its peak since industrialization. The human race has been trying all hook and crook in order to discover new sources of energy. In today’s world, a minor portion of the energy requirement basket is being filled up by unconventional non-hydrocarbon resources but still the majority of it is filled by unconventional and conventional hydrocarbon resources. The conventional hydrocarbon resources are oil and natural …

Natural Gas Hydrate: A Brief Review
Abstract: Hydrates are often called as a future fuel or frozen fuel. There is an abundant source of natural gas deposits as compared to the conventional deposits. The reservoirs of the natural gas hydrates have been strongly suggested as a potential energy resource. These resources have the potential of displacing the position of conventional hydrocarbons from the energy dealing markets when trapped within the water molecules. This is possible only when …

Prospects of Shale gas in India verses Global Scenario and Future of Plasma Pulse Technology
Abstract: Conventional sources are expensive, polluting and limited by its reserves so, it will not be able to meet the demand of a country which is increasing continuously. This concern triggered the scramble to secure long term oil supplies and shown their reliance on the unconventional resources. Shale gas is natural gas trapped in the shale formation with organic rich content of methane. Huge reserves have been found in United States, …

High Oil Recovery using Traditional Water-flooding under Compliance of the Planned Development Mode
Abstract: The dynamics and performance of major oil deposits in late (final) stage of development of large oil fields are given the current rates of oil recovery. The high oil recoveries are resulted as a consequence of the favorable geological and physical characteristics of the development objects, application of development systems and optimal density well spacing, adequate geological structure, maintain during the process of the development the optimal rates of technological …

Analysis and Application of New Acid Fracturing Technology for Carbonate Reservoir in Offshore Deep Well with High Temperature
Abstract: Acid fracturing is the key production and stimulation technology for the oil-gas reservoirs. This paper developed Loss Control Acid and Divert Acid System used in the Bohai Bay Nan-pu oilfield Ordovician carbonate reservoir, which has the problems of deep reservoir burial depth, high temperature, well developed fracture and cavern and high anisotropy. This formation used to be acid fractured with gelled acid and it responded poorly. It also has a …
