Water/Oil Cresting Optimization in Horizontal Wells: Experimental Study
Abstract: In recent years, the application of horizontal wells has been predominant and successful in minimizing cresting scenarios due to significant reservoir exposure of its laterals. Cresting is a natural phenomenon known to occur when an imbalance of viscous and gravitational forces exists in a reservoir. This study experimentally investigates the effect of varying the inclined section of the horizontal well using a simple, practical and inexpensive cresting optimization technique. The …

Acoustic Logging Methods in Fractured and Porous Formations
Abstract: Abstract Formation fractures have significant importance in the rocks’ permeability of oil and gas reservoirs. In real conditions, the opening of vertical fractures exceeds the opening of horizontal fractures and the permeability of reservoirs in conditions of horizontal wells is higher than in vertical conditions. For the sonic log longitudinal waves, unlike the transverse waves, the attenuation rate strongly depends on the wave path direction. It is shown that the …

Flavonoid Contents and Antioxidant Activity of an Endophytic Bacteria Associated with Medicinal Plant Humulus lupulus
Abstract: Endophytes are symbiotic microorganisms, most often bacteria or fungi, that reside and multiply within plant tissues without inducing visible signs of disease or negatively affecting the host plant. Endophytic bacteria contribute to plant development by stimulating growth, strengthening defence mechanisms, enhancing tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses, and facilitating improved nutrient uptake. Endophytic bacteria serve as an important reservoir of bioactive compounds, notably antioxidant molecules, that play a crucial …

Experimental Study on the Impact of Polymer (PAM) in Enhancing Oil Recovery in Upper Assam Basin Oil fields
Abstract: The Upper Assam Basin, one of India’s most mature and extensively exploited hydrocarbon provinces, is experiencing declining oil production due to reservoir depletion and unfavorable crude oil–brine–rock (COBR) interactions. In this context, alkali–polymer (AP) flooding has emerged as a promising chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategy. AP flooding reduces interfacial tension (IFT) through in-situ surfactant generation by alkali and improves sweep efficiency via polymer-based mobility control, typically using polyacrylamide (PAM). …

Calculation Improvement of the Clay Content in the Hydrocarbon Formation Rocks
Abstract: Natural radioactivity of reservoir rocks of oil and gas in East Baghdad field is due to not only their content of clay material, but also the existence of uranium located in the skeleton of rocks. In connection with this, for the shale content determination of reservoir rocks, it is necessary to exclude the uranium contribution from the overall intensity of the gamma radiation. The paper presents the results of a …
