We present the simulated results of the proposed methodology using a robotic...

...; reservoir simulations and management decisions are only as good as the quality of data available. Some of the advantages of drilling ERWs, such as increased reservoir contact, reduced footprint, and fewer wells drilled, will be lost if sufficient reservoir surveillance cannot be achieved. To maximize...

Conductivity tests are conducted according to ISO 13503-5:2006 (2006) and API RP 19D (2008) to examine how the coating process changes the relative permeability to water and oil. According to the simulation results, the newly developed graphite-coated proppants...
