Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLab-on-Chip Methodology in the Energy Industry: Wettability Patterns and Their Impact on Fluid Displacement in Oil Reservoir ModelsMarc H. Schneider, Patrick TabelingProblem statement: We present an experimental study of multiphase transport in porous media with controlled wettability patterns based on lab-on-chip methodology. Approach: Fractional, or patterned, wettability is known to have an enormous impact in the petroleum industry on oil recovery and continuous efforts are being made to assess the role of such conditions. Results: Thus far, due to the absence … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Toolkit Approach for Carbon Capture and Storage in Offshore Depleted Gas FieldRaj Deo Tewari, Tan Chee Phuat, Mohd Faizal SedaralitFossil fuels are considered a dependable, cost-effective, and efficient energy source and their utilization has resulted in tremendous growth for humanity. However, it has its downside also. Experts are of the view that present energy systems are unsustainable due to their detrimental impacts on the environment. Oil and gas producers are charged that their infrastructure, utilization of materials and technologies … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 17 May 2023 · 6,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLess Biased Approach for Sandstone Pore SegmentationDaffa Abiyyu Murtadha Kurnia, Iman Herwidiana KartowisastroReservoir characterization is a fundamental process in estimating reserves within petroleum and hydrogeological systems, where the precise determination of pore space dictates the validity of fluid flow models. Although X-Ray Computerized Tomography (XRCT) has become the standard non-destructive evaluation method for visualizing the internal structure of rocks, the data interpretation process still faces challenges during the image segmentation stage. Conventional … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2026 · 1,191 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout the Cyanobacteria and StromatolitesFlorian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Liviu Marian UngureanuStromatolites are layered biochemical accretionary structures formed in shallow water by the trapping, binding and cementation of sedimentary grains in biofilms (specifically microbial mats), especially cyanobacteria. Stromatolites occur widely in the fossil record of the Precambrian but are rare today. Life on Earth was born at least 3.7 billion years ago, but since then the number of living things has … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2022 · 8,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSubsidence Inferred from a Time Lapse Reservoir Study in a Niger Delta Field, NigeriaChukwuemeka Ngozi Ehirim, Tamunonengiyeofori DagogoProduction-induced subsidence due to compressibility and fluid property changes in a Niger delta field has been investigated using well log and 4D seismic data sets. The objective of the study is to evaluate changes in time lapse seismic attributes due to hydrocarbon production and infer to probable ground subsidence. Petrophysical modeling and analysis of well data revealed that Density (ρ), … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 25 Oct 2016 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Parameters of Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) Method for Enhanced Oil Recovery in a Heavy Oil Fractured Carbonate ReservoirArzhang NabilouBy increasing in the use of nonrenewable energy and decreasing in discovering hydrocarbonic reservoirs, in near future the world will encounter with a new challenge in the field of energy, so increase in recovery factor of the existing oil reservoirs is necessary after the primary production. In one hand the existence of untouched heavy oil reservoirs in Iran and lack … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSequence Stratigraphic Analysis from Well Logs of an X-Field, Niger Delta, NigeriaGodwin Omokenu Emujakporue, Alphonsus Joseph EyoThe sequence stratigraphic analysis of the area was studied using well log information in order to determine the lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, possible reservoir sands, age and depositional environment of the study area for opportunities that will support exploration program. The depositional environment penetrated by the wells interpreted from log signatures gave three major facies association. The blocky and coarsening upward (funnel … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 11 Jul 2016 · 13,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeterogeneities and Intra Sand-Body Compartmentalization in Late Oligocene Delta-Front Deposit, Niger Delta, NigeriaRaphael Oaikhena Oyanyan, Michael Ndubuisi OtiThis paper presents the study of the heterogeneity in lithofacies, porosity, permeability, mineral grain density, pore-throats sizes and hydraulic rock types and the intra sand-body compartmentalization in cored delta-front deposit of Greater Ughelli depobelt of Niger Delta. Sedimentological study of core samples results in the identification of nine lithofacies and the interpretation of environments of deposition as mainly proximal and … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2016 · 8,090 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractReport on the Evaluation of Ugua J2 and J3 Reservoir PerformanceOkotie Sylvester, Ikporo Bibobra, Ovuema AugustinaGlobally, there are different techniques applied in the industry such as analog, volumetric, decline curve, material balance and simulation methods to estimate hydrocarbon reserves which depends upon the volume and quality of available data with some levels of uncertainties. The analogy method is applied by comparing factors for the current fields or wells while the volumetric method implies the determination … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Nov 2015 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrophysical Characterization and Flow Models for Agbada Reservoirs, Onshore Niger Delta, NigeriaPrince Suka Momta, John Owate Etu-Efeotor, Charles Ugwu UgwuezeThree selected reservoirs (XB, XC and XE) from three wells (A, B and C) occurring within the Agbada producing sands in part of the Greater Ughelli Depobelt of the onshore Niger Delta have been studied. The study aims at evaluating the petrophysical characteristics of the sand-bodies and also identifies the various flow units present within each reservoir. Petrophysical parameters were … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 21 Oct 2015 · 7,910 accessesView PDFCite
