Compositional Simulation of Geological and Engineering Controls on Gas Huff-n-Puff in Duvernay Shale Volatile Oil Reservoirs, Canada

Xiangwen Kong et al.

Summary: In this study, a comprehensive numerical compositional model combined with EDFM method was used to evaluate the geological and engineering controls on gas huff-n-puff in Duvernay shale volatile oil reservoirs. The results showed that fracture conductivity, natural fracture density, period of primary depletion, and natural fracture permeability are the most sensitive parameters for incremental oil recovery from gas huff-n-puff. Low fracture conductivity and a short period of primary depletion could greatly reduce the economic efficiency of the process.

Multiscale Pressure/Volume/Temperature Simulation of Decreasing Condensate/ Gas Ratio at Greater than Dewpoint Pressure in Shale Gas-Condensate Reservoirs

Sheng Luo et al.

Summary: This study provides a physical explanation for the observed CGR trends in shale gas-condensate reservoirs by considering the impact of nanopores on fluid behavior. The research shows that hydrocarbons distribute heterogeneously in nanopores, with more intermediate to heavy hydrocarbons but fewer light ends. The depletion simulations suggest that a decreasing CGR can occur due to nanopore depletion selectively releasing light hydrocarbon components.

Optimizing the Huff 'n' Puff Gas Injection Performance in Shale Reservoirs Considering the Uncertainty: A Duvernay Shale Example

Hamidreza Hamdi et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that huff 'n' puff gas injection has the potential to recover additional oil from shale reservoirs. This technique is sensitive to production constraints and uncertainty related to measurement quality, but a Bayesian workflow can optimize the process. Compositional simulations, MCMC, and Gaussian processes can help estimate uncertain variables and optimize HNP control variables for maximum oil production.

Enhanced Oil Recovery in the Wolfcamp Shale by Carbon Dioxide or Nitrogen Injection: An Experimental Investigation

Francisco D. Tovar et al.

Summary: The study investigates the effectiveness of gas injection for enhanced oil recovery in organic-rich shale, finding that CO2 outperforms nitrogen as an EOR injection gas, and higher injection pressure leads to higher oil recovery. The experiments were designed to closely replicate gas injection through a hydraulic fracture, with CO2 and nitrogen as injection gases.
