Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern reservoir management requires continuous downhole monitoring systems to optimize the economic and operational performance of the assets. Parameters such as pressure, temperature and fluid flow provide valuable insights into the depletion dynamics of a reservoir that, if optimized, can be highly beneficial to the productivity and economics of the well. Unfortunately, oil and gas reservoirs represent some of the harshest, least accessible, environments on earth. This book is designed to familiarize engineers and management with the measurement systems, analysis/interpretation tools, and challenges available for reservoir monitoring activities. Brief and readable this basic guide to Reservoir Monitoring will cover most aspects of reservoir monitoring design and application including traditional methods, as well as methods tailored to monitor the geomechanical response of a reservoir. The book begins with a clear and rigorous discussion of the challenges faced in producing and optimizing recovery from each type of reservoirs. This is followed by self-contained chapters concerning methods. These methods are currently available to the operator, the benefits, and challenges for each method, and will provides case studies illustrating the benefits and learning's achieved through properly designed reservoir monitoring programs. The author presents the technical background and key monitoring aspects of a number of complimentary technologies, along with the application to monitor a variety of injections including SAGD, CSS, Waterflood, Fireflood, Waste injection, Co2 sequestration and other EOR projects. The book covers all aspects of monitoring design and optimization, installation, acquisition, processing and interpretation.

Download or read book Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook written by Sharon Hook and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil spills can be difficult to manage, with reporting frequently delayed. Too often, by the time responders arrive at the scene, the slick has moved, dissolved, dispersed or sunk. This Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook provides practical advice on what information is likely required following the accidental release of oil or other petroleum-based products into the marine environment. The book focuses on response phase monitoring for maritime spills, otherwise known as Type I or operational monitoring. Response phase monitoring tries to address the questions – what? where? when? how? how much? – that assist responders to find, track, predict and clean up spills, and to assess their efforts. Oil spills often occur in remote, sensitive and logistically difficult locations, often in adverse weather, and the oil can change character and location over time. An effective response requires robust information provided by monitoring, observation, sampling and science. The Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook completely updates the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s 2003 edition of the same name, taking into account the latest scientific advances in physical, chemical and biological monitoring, many of which have evolved as a consequence of major oil spill disasters in the last decade. It includes sections on the chemical properties of oil, the toxicological impacts of oil exposure, and the impacts of oil exposure on different marine habitats with relevance to Australia and elsewhere. An overview is provided on how monitoring integrates with the oil spill response process, the response organisation, the use of decision-support tools such as net environmental benefit analysis, and some of the most commonly used response technologies. Throughout the text, examples are given of lessons learned from previous oil spill incidents and responses, both local and international. General guidance of spill monitoring approaches and technologies is augmented with in-depth discussion on both response phase and post-response phase monitoring design and delivery. Finally, a set of appendices delivers detailed standard operating procedures for practical observation, sample and data collection. The Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook is essential reading for scientists within the oil industry and environmental and government agencies; individuals with responder roles in industry and government; environmental and ecological monitoring agencies and consultants; and members of the maritime sector in Australia and abroad, including officers in ports, shipping and terminals.

Download or read book Geothermal Reservoir Engineering written by Malcomm Grant and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geothermal Reservoir Engineering offers a comprehensive account of geothermal reservoir engineering and a guide to the state-of-the-art technology, with emphasis on practicality. Topics covered include well completion and warm-up, flow testing, and field monitoring and management. A case study of a geothermal well in New Zealand is also presented. Comprised of 10 chapters, this book opens with an overview of geothermal reservoirs and the development of geothermal reservoir engineering as a discipline. The following chapters focus on conceptual models of geothermal fields; simple models that illustrate some of the processes taking place in geothermal reservoirs under exploitation; measurements in a well from spudding-in up to first discharge; and flow measurement. The next chapter provides a case history of one well in the Broadlands Geothermal Field in New Zealand, with particular reference to its drilling, measurement, discharge, and data analysis/interpretation. The changes that have occurred in exploited geothermal fields are also reviewed. The final chapter considers three major problems of geothermal reservoir engineering: rapid entry of external cooler water, or return of reinjected water, in fractured reservoirs; the effects of exploitation on natural discharges; and subsidence. This monograph serves as both a text for students and a manual for working professionals in the field of geothermal reservoir engineering. It will also be of interest to engineers and scientists of other disciplines.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Applied Reservoir Engineering written by Richard Wheaton and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Applied Reservoir Engineering introduces early career reservoir engineers and those in other oil and gas disciplines to the fundamentals of reservoir engineering. Given that modern reservoir engineering is largely centered on numerical computer simulation and that reservoir engineers in the industry will likely spend much of their professional career building and running such simulators, the book aims to encourage the use of simulated models in an appropriate way and exercising good engineering judgment to start the process for any field by using all available methods, both modern simulators and simple numerical models, to gain an understanding of the basic 'dynamics' of the reservoir –namely what are the major factors that will determine its performance. With the valuable addition of questions and exercises, including online spreadsheets to utilize day-to-day application and bring together the basics of reservoir engineering, coupled with petroleum economics and appraisal and development optimization, Fundamentals of Applied Reservoir Engineering will be an invaluable reference to the industry professional who wishes to understand how reservoirs fundamentally work and to how a reservoir engineer starts the performance process. Covers reservoir appraisal, economics, development planning, and optimization to assist reservoir engineers in their decision-making. Provides appendices on enhanced oil recovery, gas well testing, basic fluid thermodynamics, and mathematical operators to enhance comprehension of the book’s main topics. Offers online spreadsheets covering well test analysis, material balance, field aggregation and economic indicators to help today’s engineer apply reservoir concepts to practical field data applications. Includes coverage on unconventional resources and heavy oil making it relevant for today’s worldwide reservoir activity.
