Effect of impermeable barrier orientation on bottom water cresting (2017)
Journal Article

The use of either a permeable or semi-permeable barriers has been proven to be effective in minimizing cresting effects in oil reservoirs characterized by strong bottom aquifer, with the latter known to be more effective. Most research has been focus... Read More about Effect of impermeable barrier orientation on bottom water cresting.

Economic evaluation of environmentally friendly vegetable oil-based invert emulsion (2017)
Journal Article

Stringent environmental regulations and technical requirements of difficult formations such as shale demand the use of functional mud system to complete a well safely and economically.
The economic viability of 50/50 oil-water ratio invert emulsion... Read More about Economic evaluation of environmentally friendly vegetable oil-based invert emulsion.

This paper sets out to experimentally investigate the use of electromagnetic valve in controlling
production of water during cresting from homogeneous non-fractured thick and thin-oil reservoirs,
based on the principle of capillarity and breakthrou... Read More about Proactive control of cresting in homogeneous oil reservoirs : an experimental study.

Proactive control of cresting in homogeneous oil reservoirs : an experimental study (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Cresting in horizontal wells is a well-known reservoir problem usually described as the insurgence of effluent(s) (unwanted water and or gas) through the perforation of the well, which is produced together with oil. Cresting is majorly affected by pr... Read More about Proactive control of cresting in homogeneous oil reservoirs : an experimental study.
