PETROENG 3026 - Formation Damage in Petroleum Reservoirs

Career: Undergraduate
Units: 3
Term: Summer School
Session:
Campus: North Terrace
Contact: Lectures, tutorials
Available for Non-Award Study: No
Pre-Requisite: MATHS 1012
Assessment: In-class assignments, take home tasks, quiz, Final assessment test in-class
Syllabus:

The course covers transport of colloids/suspensions in natural reservoirs and its applications to formation damage in injection and production wells, its prediction, mathematical and laboratory modelling, prevention and mitigation. The oil-production processes covered are injectivity decline, re-injection of produced water, invasion of drilling fluid, sand production, gravel pack, sand screens, fines migration, disposal of produced water, IOR. The physics phenomena caused damage include deep bed filtration, external filter cake formation, precipitation of salts, ashpaltenes and paraffines, fines migration and liberation, rock deformation and compaction, two-phase flow of suspensions and colloids. Cases of vertical, horizontal, fractured and perforated wells are discussed. Techniques of damage removal and well stimulation are presented.

The lectures are accompanied by numerous training exercises and field examples
