The compositional representation of a petroleum system offers a greater detail in the phase
equilibria calculations when compared to the black-oil approach. However, the slow and …

Transient two-phase flow in pipes and wellbores appears in several processes in petroleum
industry. Predicting pressure, temperature and composition behavior during offshore well …

Production through wellbores in petroleum industry involves multi-phase flow of oil, gas and
water. It is necessary to capture the effects of varying composition of phases to represent …

Steam-trap subcool is a technique that is used to maintain the energy efficiency of the steam-
assisted-gravity-drainage (SAGD) process by most heavy-oil producers in Canada. The …

Liaohe field is one of the largest heavy-oil fields in China. Its DN Block is a deep massive
ultra-heavy oil reservoir undertaking SAGD development, which will serve as a case study in …

Complex engineering systems often require extensive coordination between different expert
areas in order to avoid costly design iterations and rework. Cyber-physics system (CPS) …

As the reservoir pressure declines with time, many of the wells do not have adequate
bottomhole pressure to carry the fluids to the surface. Under such circumstances, artificial lift …

A proper selection of solvent is critical for hybrid steam-solvent injection processes. Injected
solvent must be in vapor phase in the steam chamber in order to propagate and effectively …
