In this work, we investigate the efficient estimation of the optimal design variables that
maximize net present value (NPV) for the life-cycle production optimization during a single …

The phase behavior in liquids rich shale reservoirs continues to be an area of investigation
in the industry. In conventional reservoirs with permeabilities on the order of millidarcies …

In this work, we investigate the applications of least-squares support-vector regression (LS-
SVR)-and Gaussian process regression (GPR)-based iterative-sampling-refinement …

That the majority of the pore sizes of nanoporous unconventional reservoirs are on the order
of the molecular dimensions of large hydrocarbons of crude oils implies the possibility of …

With the increased interest in primary and improved recovery from unconventional
reservoirs, unusual characteristics of PVT behavior in nano-pores have attracted more …

This thesis presents a formal discussion of the use of the pseudopressure approach to
analyze multiphase pressure-and rate-transient data of fractured wells in unconventional …
