Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Process through Miscible Gas Injection: A Case Study of an Iranian Oil Reservoir
Abstract: Speedy computers and development in equations’ numerical solutions have enhanced applying simulation to predict the behavior of oil and gas reservoirs. The pressure in hydrocarbon reservoirs reduces overtime due to utilization of oil and gas resources until the fluid pressure itself is no more able to transfer it to the surface, and even if it reaches to the surface, its production is not cost-effective.

Capacitance–Resistance Model Application to Reservoirs Primarily Under Aquifer Influx
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 …

Water reservoir engineering and management
Abstract: This work aims to develop a practical system to store water in times of abundance and reuse it in times of scarcity. The proposed system uses natural caves, caverns, or empty underground spaces from mining or oil or gas extraction to store water. The geological structure of the water reservoir should be a non-porous substrate to avoid leakage. Water collection comes from dam discharge during thaw times or river flooding, …

Effects of Fracture Properties on Oil Recovery in Tight Reservoirs
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 …

A Model Approach of Controlling Coning in Oil Rim Reservoirs
Abstract: Water and gas coning in oil rim reservoirs poses serious hindrance to optimizing oil production in the thin oil beds as unwanted fluids tend to replace oil in the production stream. This invariably limits the ultimate oil recovery. In this study, semi-analytical models of estimating critical rate and optimum horizontal well placement were developed to control coning tendencies in oil rim reservoirs. The models were developed through semi-analytical analysis of …

Productivity of Hydraulically Fractured Calcite Rich Shale Reservoirs Enhanced by Acid
Abstract: The current low oil prices have highlighted the need for enhancement to current production from shale formations. Prolonging the production life and increasing productivity of the fracture network in the shale plays can be a way to improve the economics. Many shale wells, drilled and completed based on current completion strategies, show sharp decline after initial flash production. One of the reasons behind this can be attributed to closure of …

Overcoming Obstacles to an HIV-1 Cure: Advances in Genome Editing, Immune System Reprogramming, and Viral Reservoir Elimination
Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) continues to represent a major global health challenge despite the remarkable success of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Although ART effectively suppresses viral replication and prolongs survival, it cannot eradicate the virus due to the persistence of long-lived latent reservoirs. In recent years, innovative therapeutic strategies have been explored with the aim of achieving either a functional remission or complete viral elimination. Advances in genome-editing technologies, particularly …
