CT Measurements of Two-Phase Flow in Fractured Porous Media.
In ,
January 1996.
[pdf]
Keywords: Experimental Work,
Imbibition.
Abstract
This paper describes the design, construction, and preliminary results of an experiment that stud- ies imbibition displacement in two fracture blocks. Three core configurations were constructed. The configurations are a compact core, a two-block system with a 1 mm spacer between the blocks, and a two-block system with no spacer. The blocks are sealed in epoxy so that saturation measurements can be made throughout the displacement experiments using a Computed Tomography (CT) scanner. Preliminary results are presented from a water/air experiment. These results suggest that it is incorrect to assume negligible capillary continuity between matrix blocks as is often done.

Techno-Economic and Risk Evaluation of a Thermal Recovery Project.
Technical report,
Stanford University, CA, USA,
March 1996.
[pdf]
Keywords: Thermal Recovery,
Risk Analysis.
Abstract
The thermal project studied in this work is a tertiary steam flood recovery project started in May 1989 by Union Pacific Resources Company (UPRC), in the Tar Zone reservoir of Fault Block II Unit located in the Wilmington Field, Los Angeles County, California. An analytical steam flood model was applied to determine an overall heat balance for the project and predict future production rates. An important feature of the analysis is the determination of heat losses due to produced fluids from the wellbore, a factor sometimes not taken account of in analytical methods. The model gave a fairly close history match with the production data. An economic analysis of the project was carried out using capital budgeting and discounted cash flow techniques. Since many of the input parameters for the models were uncertain, a risk evaluation was carried out for both the technical and the economic analysis, by using Monte-Carlo simulation.
