Well Completion for Effective Deliquification of Natural Gas Wells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Liquid loading has been a problem in natural gas wells for several decades. With gas fields becoming mature and gas production rates dropping below the critical rate, deliquification becomes ...
Statistical Damage Constitutive Model of Gas-Bearing Coal with Consideration to Crack Deformation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Coal is a complex porous medium. When gas exists in the coal body, the fissure structure of coal and the occurrence of gas adsorption make the stress state of gas-bearing coal different from that of ordinary coal. Therefore, ...
Interpretation of Hydraulic Fracturing Pressure in Tight Gas Formations1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The interpretation of hydraulic fracturing pressure was initiated by Nolte and Smith in the 1980s. An accurate interpretation of hydraulic fracturing pressures is critical to understand and improve the fracture treatment ...
Feasibility of Waterflooding for a Carbonate Oil Field Through Whole Field Simulation Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The carbonate oil field studied is a currently producing field in U.S., which is named “PSU†field to remain anonymity. Discovered in 1994 with wells on natural flow or through artificial lift, this field had produced ...
Fracture Height Containment in the Stimulation of Oriskany Formation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Oriskany sandstone formation has been a prolific producer of natural gas in the Appalachian basin since 1930s. Lot of production wells have been converted to gas storage wells for the ease of operation. Natural gas ...
Factors Affecting Hydraulically Fractured Well Performance in the Marcellus Shale Gas Reservoirs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Development of shale gas reservoirs has become an integral part of the North American gas supply. The Marcellus shale reservoir contains large untapped natural gas resources and its proximity to high demand markets along ...
Lost Gas and Desorption Kinetics of Coal at Different Pressures, Exposure Times, and Sampling Intervals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The content of coalbed methane (CBM) is an important parameter that affects the performance of coal extraction and the safety of coal mines. The importance of this parameter is especially more pronounced when using the ...
Wetting–Drying–Freezing–Thawing Cycle Effect on the Swelling Pressure of Yanji Mudstone Using Various Determination Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Swelling rocks and soils can generate significant swell or swelling pressure upon contact with water due to their special mineralogical composition, and thus a reliable determination of their swelling property is essential ...
Recovery Efficiency in Hydraulically Fractured Shale Gas Reservoirs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: At the end of 2015 the U.S. held 5.6% or approximately 369 Tcf of worldwide conventional natural gas proved reserves (British Petroleum Company, 2016, “BP Statistical Review of World Energy June 2016,” British Petroleum ...
Hydraulic Optimization Control of Cascaded Open Channel under the Emergency Scenario of a Downstream Water Supply Interruption
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Downstream water supply disruption accidents commonly occur in the large-scale cascade open-channel dispatching system, endangering dispatch safety. The emergency reaction requires active drainage water volume and cost ...
