Steady State Gas Flow from Tight Shale Matrix Subject to Water Blocking
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This work studies 1D steady-state flow of gas from compressible shale matrix subject to water blocking toward a neighboring fracture. Water blocking is a capillary end effect causing wetting phase (e.g., water) to accumulate ... -
CO2 Convective Dissolution in Oil-Saturated Unconsolidated Porous Media at Reservoir Conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)During CO2 storage, CO2 plume mixes with the water and oil present at the reservoir, initiated by diffusion followed by a density gradient that leads to a convective flow. Studies are available where CO2 convective mixing ... -
Ensemble-based constrained optimization using an exterior penalty method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In science and engineering, non-linear constrained optimization has been a useful mathematical technique for many practical applications. Of interest to us is its applicability in the modeling and prediction of hydrocarbon ... -
Variation of the partition coefficient of phase-partitioning compounds between hydrocarbon and aqueous phases: an experimental study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Many non-ionic chemical compounds will form real solutions in equilibrium between two immiscible phases in contact. The partition coefficient (K) is defined as the quotient between the equilibrium concentration of the ... -
Visual investigation of CO2 dissolution and convection in heterogeneous porous media at reservoir temperature and pressure conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)CO2 convective mixing in saline aquifers has been widely studied numerically and experimentally. Reservoir heterogeneity is significant for CO2 convective mixing and experimental studies are still limited. In this study, ... -
Investigating the PS seismic imaging of faults using seismic modelling and data from the Snøhvit field, Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)PS seismic data from the Snøhvit field are compared with seismic modelling to understand the effect of azimuthal separation and incidence angle on the imaging of faults and associated horizon discontinuities. In addition, ... -
Constrained non-linear AVO inversion based on the adjoint-state optimization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Pre-stack AVO inversion of seismic data is a modeling tool for estimating subsurface elastic properties. Our focus is on the model-based inversion method where then unknown variables are estimated by minimizing the misfit ... -
Frequency-dependent AVO inversion applied to physically based models for seismic attenuation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Seismic inversion of amplitude versus offset (AVO) data in viscoelastic media can potentially provide high-resolution subsurface models of seismic velocities and attenuation from offset/angle seismic gathers. P- and S-wave ... -
Influencing factors on petrography interpretations in provenance research – a case-study review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The use of framework petrography is a common initial step in provenance research of sand and sandstone. The data tend to be interpreted based on the three main components quartz, feldspar, and lithic fragments. Surprisingly ... -
CO2 Dissolution and Convection in Oil at Realistic Reservoir Conditions: A Visualization Study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)CO2 convective mixing has been extensively studied for CO2 dissolution in saline water but very limited with the presence of oil. The objective of this work was to visually study the supercritical CO2 (sCO2) dissolution ... -
etrological, geochemical (major, trace, and rare earth elements), and U–Pb zircon data of the Tamatán Group, NE Mexico
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)From samples of the Paleozoic Tamatán Group (Huizachal–Peregrina Anticlinorium, Tamaulipas, Mexico), petrographic (qualitative and modal) and geochemical analyses (major, trace, and rare earth elements) were conducted. The ... -
The impact of seismic interpretation methods on the analysis of faults: a case study from the Snøhvit field, Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Five seismic interpretation experiments were conducted on an area of interest containing a fault relay in the Snøhvit field, Barents Sea, Norway, to understand how the interpretation method impacts the analysis of fault ... -
Simulation study of wettability alteration enhanced oil recovery during co-current spontaneous imbibition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Naturally fractured reservoirs are highly dependent on capillary forces to recover hydrocarbons during water injection. Water can spontaneously imbibe and expel oil if positive capillary forces exist; purely counter-current ... -
Analysis of filtering techniques for investigating landslide-induced topographic changes in the Oetz Valley (Tyrol, Austria)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Landslides endanger settlements and infrastructure in mountain areas across the world. Monitoring of landslides is therefore essential in order to understand and possibly predict their behavior and potential danger. ... -
Early and Late Time Analytical Solutions for Co-current Spontaneous Imbibition and Generalized Scaling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We propose an explicit analytical solution for 1D cocurrent (COC) spontaneous imbibition (SI) in which a core is exposed to water (inlet) and oil (outlet). The system is described using an advection-capillary diffusion ... -
Core wettability reproduction: A new solvent cleaning and core restoration strategy for chalk cores
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Laboratory core restoration procedures include different core cleaning solvents, establishment of initial water saturation (Swi) by diverse techniques and processes of crude oil exposure that influence the final core wetting ... -
