Prerequisites are calculus, basic physics, and some knowledge of partial differential equations and matrix algebra.
Download or read book Computational Methods for Multiphase Flows in Porous Media written by Zhangxin Chen and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational Methods for Multiphase Flows in Porous Media offers a fundamental and practical introduction to the use of computational methods, particularly finite element methods, in the simulation of fluid flows in porous media. It is the first book to cover a wide variety of flows, including single-phase, two-phase, black oil, volatile, compositional, nonisothermal, and chemical compositional flows in both ordinary porous and fractured porous media. In addition, a range of computational methods are used, and benchmark problems of nine comparative solution projects organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers are presented for the first time in book form. The book reviews multiphase flow equations and computational methods to introduce basic terminologies and notation. A thorough discussion of practical aspects of the subjects is presented in a consistent manner, and the level of treatment is rigorous without being unnecessarily abstract. Audience: this book can be used as a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate students in geology, petroleum engineering, and applied mathematics; as a reference book for professionals in these fields, as well as scientists working in the area of petroleum reservoir simulation; as a handbook for employees in the oil industry who need a basic understanding of modeling and computational method concepts; and by researchers in hydrology, environmental remediation, and some areas of biological tissue modeling. Calculus, physics, and some acquaintance with partial differential equations and simple matrix algebra are necessary prerequisites.

Download or read book Finite Element Programming in Non linear Geomechanics and Transient Flow written by Nobuo Morita and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-21 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finite Element Programming in Non-linear Geomechanics and Transient Flow delivers a textbook reference for both students and practitioners alike, with provided codes to understand and modify. Starting with the fundamentals, the reference covers the basics of finite element methods, including coupling geomechanics and transient fluid flow. The next phase moves from theory into practical application from programs Flow3D and Geo3D, utilizing source codes to solve real field challenges. Stability of perforations during oil and gas production, sand production problems, rock failure, casing collapse, and reservoir compaction problems are just some examples. Next, the reference elevates to hands-on experience, sharing source codes with additional problems engineers can work on independently. This gives students and engineers a starting point to modify their own code in a fraction of the time. Helps users understand finite element programs such as Flow3D and Geo3D to solve geomechanics problems, including casing stability, reservoir compaction challenges, and sand production Bridges the gap between theory, applications and source codes to help readers develop or modify their own computer programs with provided source codes Includes cases studies and practice examples that illustrate real-world applications

Download or read book Geomechanical and Petrophysical Properties of Mudrocks written by E.H. Rutter and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2017-10-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surge of interest in the geomechanical and petrophysical properties of mudrocks (shales) has taken place in recent years following the development of a shale gas industry in the United States and elsewhere, and with the prospect of similar developments in the UK. Also, these rocks are of particular importance in excavation and construction geotechnics and other rock engineering applications, such as underground natural gas storage, carbon dioxide disposal and radioactive waste storage. They may greatly influence the stability of natural and engineered slopes. Mudrocks, which make up almost three-quarters of all the sedimentary rocks on Earth, therefore impact on many areas of applied geoscience. This volume focuses on the mechanical behaviour and various physical properties of mudrocks. The 15 chapters are grouped into three themes: (i) physical properties such as porosity, permeability, fluid flow through cracks, strength and geotechnical behaviour; (ii) mineralogy and microstructure, which control geomechanical behaviour; and (iii) fracture, both in laboratory studies and in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost Circulation: Mechanisms and Solutions provides the latest information on a long-existing problem for drilling and cementing engineers that can cause improper drilling conditions, safety risks, and annual losses of millions of wasted dollars for oil and gas companies. While several conferences have convened on the topic, this book is the first reliable reference to provide a well-rounded, unbiased approach on the fundamental causes of lost circulation, how to diagnose it in the well, and how to treat and prevent it in future well planning operations. As today’s drilling operations become more complex, and include situations such as sub-salt formations, deepwater wells with losses caused by cooling, and more depleted reservoirs with reduced in-situ stresses, this book provides critical content on the current state of the industry that includes a breakdown of basics on stresses and fractures and how drilling fluids work in the wellbore. The book then covers the more practical issues caused by induced fractures, such as how to understand where the losses are occurring and how to use proven preventative measures such as wellbore strengthening and the effect of base fluid on lost circulation performance. Supported by realistic case studies, this book separates the many myths from the known facts, equipping today’s drilling and cementing engineer with a go-to solution for every day well challenges. Understand the processes, challenges and solutions involved in lost circulation, a critical problem in drilling Gain a balance between fundamental understanding and practical application through real-world case studies Succeed in solving lost circulation in today’s operations such as wells involving casing drilling, deepwater, and managed pressure drilling
