Optimization of the Steam Alternating Solvent Process Using Pareto-Based Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Steam alternating solvent (SAS) process has been proposed as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional steam-based processes for heavy oil production. It consists of injecting steam and a non-condensable ...
Semi Analytical Proxy for Vapex Process Modeling in Heterogeneous Reservoirs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vapex (vapor extraction) is a nonthermal process that has significant potential in providing a more environmentally friendly and energyefficient alternative to steam injection. Vaporized solvent injected insitu dissolves ...
Practical Data Mining and Artificial Neural Network Modeling for Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage Production Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Production forecast of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) in heterogeneous reservoir is important for reservoir management and optimization of development strategies for oil sand operations. In this work, artificial ...
A Proxy Model for Predicting SAGD Production From Reservoirs Containing Shale Barriers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are used to explore the influence of shale barriers on steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) production. The data are derived from synthetic SAGD reservoir simulations based on petrophysical ...
Numerical Analysis of API 5 L X42 and X52 Vintage Pipes With Cracks in Corrosion Defects Using Extended Finite Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cracks and corrosion in pipelines can occur simultaneously, representing a hybrid defect known as cracks in corrosion (CIC), which is often difficult to model using the available assessment codes or methods. As a result, ...
