When reservoir pressure decreases in gas condensate reservoirs, there is a compositional change which makes the system difficult to handle. This type of system requires an Equation of State (EOS) to ensure proper fluid characterization so that the Pressure Volume Temperature (PVT...

Oil production from matured fields in the Niger Delta is characterised by basic sediment and water (BS&W) and sand or sand-cut (Scut) production. The predominant factor for this production is the unconsolidated nature of the formations in the Niger Delta. The available correl...

More than 70% of oil-producing wells require some form of artificial lift to increase the flow of fluids from subsurface to the surface when a reservoir no longer has sufficient energy to produce at economic rates. This situation has been observed in the Niger Delta oil wells ove...

Aims: The variations in production performances of the Black oil and compositional simulation models can be evaluated by simulating oil formation volume factor (Bo), gas formation volume factor (Bg), gas-oil ratio (Rs) and volatilized oil-gas ratio (Rv). The accuracy of these two...

This work considers the Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) approach as a quick tool to estimate the gas reservoir performance of field “ABC” in the Niger Delta region. The conventional Arps’ models: Exponential, Harmonic and Hyperbolic, alongside with the Reciprocal and Quadratic model...

During production, drilling, completion, stimulation and work-over operations, the formation is exposed to several types of fluids which have high tendencies to impair and impact gas and oil productivity by reducing pore throat size and relative permeability. Therefore, it is des...
