▼ The characterization of reservoir
permeability (k) remains the elusive challenge in reservoir engineering.
This work considers prior developments in an evolutionary sense, and, as with prior work, our goal is the
development of a "characteristic
permeability relation" (CPR). To this end, we have developed 5 CPR
formulations – 3 of which could be considered modifications of "historical" models and 2 of which are
"weighted" power law-exponential models.
In this work, we consider
permeability to be only a function of two variables; k = f(ø,z) – porosity (ø ) and
z, where z is either the water saturation (Sw) or the Archie Formation Factor (F). Our rationale in
considering k = f(ø,z) is two-fold – first, such a formulation is a fundamental extension of the k = f( ø)
correlation work by Archie (and countless others); and second, our validation datasets are limited to
literature cases and cases obtained from industry sources – none of which would be considered suitable
for extension beyond porosity and another variable.
We demonstrate and validate our concept of a characteristic
permeability relation using various datasets
obtained from the literature and from industry sources. In this work we show that each proposed relation
has a unique character and performance – depending on primarily on the data, rather than the functional
form of the
permeability relation. Using the characteristic
permeability relations developed in this work – the proposed
permeability relations can be extended to other and other data types. It may also be
possible to develop so-called "hydraulic flow unit" methods which segregate petrophysical data into
depositional flow sequences.

▼ The assessment of directional
permeability in carbonate formations is challenging due to their complex pore structure and anisotropic pore-network properties. Previous studies have shown that
permeability is controlled by the conducting pore network; which is the portion of the connected pore system that contributes to both fluid and electric current flow in the formation. Conventional
permeability assessment techniques attempt to quantify the conductive pore network volume fraction using well-log-based estimates of acoustic or non-shale porosity. However, these porosity estimates do not represent the anisotropic conducting pore network as they fail to account for the directional pore-network connectivity in carbonate rocks. As a result, conventional well-log-based
permeability assessment techniques are unreliable for quantifying directional
permeability in carbonate formations. This thesis introduces a method for depth-by-depth assessment of the directional conducting pore network volume fraction and directional
permeability using combined interpretation of well logs and pore-scale images from carbonate formations.
The proposed method takes advantage of the similarity between electric current and fluid flow paths in the rock-fluid system to estimate depth-by-depth directional conducting pore network volume fraction and
permeability. In the field example presented, water saturation estimates were used to correct the electrical resistivity for the effect of hydrocarbon saturation. Then, well-log based rock classification was performed to identify different petrophysical rock types in the formation. Three-dimensional pore-scale images were obtained from each rock type using an X-ray micro computed tomography scanner. Then pore-scale simulations of electrical current and fluid flow were conducted to develop conducting pore-network and
permeability models for each rock type. Finally, these pore-scale models were applied for depth-by-depth assessment of directional conducting pore-network volume fraction and directional
permeability.
The proposed method was applied in the pore-scale and well-log domain. In pore-scale domain, the method was used for the assessment of directional
permeability in three carbonate rock types with complex pore structure. The pore-scale directional
permeability estimates were cross-validated using
permeability estimates obtained from a Lattice Boltzmann fluid flow simulator. In the well-log domain, the proposed technique was used to estimate
permeability in the Canyon Reef formation of the SACROC oil field. The
permeability estimates were cross-validated using available core measurements. The results showed a significant improvement using the proposed
permeability assessment technique in both the pore-scale and well-log-scale domains. I observed a 52% and 34% decrease in the relative error associated with pore-scale and well-log domain
permeability estimates, as compared to conventional porosity-
permeability models.

▼ In this work, a dynamic
permeability model for organic-rich shale matrix is constructed and implemented into a flow simulation to investigate the impact on production. Effective stress and molecular transport effects on the
permeability are considered during the flow in the matrix. Using a sector model with a single hydraulically-induced fracture, we investigate the dynamic nature of fracture-matrix coupling during the first year of production.
The proposed apparent
permeability shows improved transport near the fracture due to adsorption capacity of the rock and molecular transport of the adsorbed phase. This fosters drainage and leads eventually to a larger cumulative production. Away from the fracture, however, within the region of depletion, sensitivity to the stress is more pronounced which may impair the local
permeability and reduce the production. Overall the shale matrix typically yields more fluid than that with the constant-
permeability case.
When the fracture-matrix coupling is considered during the production, an infinite conductivity fracture has negligible effect on the production trends, and that production optimization efforts should focus to considerations to improve the flow rates in the matrix.

(more)
▼ The 3-dimension diffusion equation which describes fluid flow during hydraulic fracturing is interpreted in a statistical way. For all diffusing particles in a pumping procedure, the root-mean-square average of diffusing distance, which evaluates the fluctuation of diffusing particles as time evolves, is proportional to the square root of the product of diffusivity and elapsed time. The diffusivity is obtained from the spatial-temporal distribution of located microseismic events as a function of the distance between these events and pumping points, as well as elapsed time from injection inception. The upper-limit diffusivity of the original formation is characterized by the curve which fits the outermost located events on a distance-time plot. Similarly, diffusivity of the formation after hydraulic fracturing is obtained by curve fitting innermost located events induced by fluid flow back after injection stops.
The theoretical expression between the diffusivity tensor and
permeability tensor is obtained based on an isothermal condition and assumed incompressible slurry. The diffusivity tensor is found to be equal to the
permeability tensor divided by a scalar which is the product of dynamic viscosity, connected formation porosity, and formation compressibility.
Application of these equations to microseismic data acquired in the Barnett Shale Formation yields, with assumed hydraulic fracture geometry, initial
permeability of 0.16 to 3.21 milliDarcy in the assumed dominant direction of fracturing and normal to it, with an increase to 12.1 milliDarcy along the dominant direction of fracturing after hydraulic fracturing.
Numerical simulation results of fluid flow in synthetic media demonstrate:
(1) If the flow domain size is not much larger than the part influenced by the entrance effect, the variables in Darcy’s law are inter-dependent. If so, the obtained
permeability, no matter by experiment or simulation, cannot be upscaled, even under homogeneous condition.
(2) The volume or area influenced by the entrance effect inside the flow domain depends on the geometry of the flow domain, fluid properties, and in-situ parameters. The more viscous fluid flow in a lower rate, the smaller volume or area influenced by entrance effect.
(3) The flow field is difficult to be fully developed in a periodic domain. The wide throat zones store fluid as reservoirs.

▼ This thesis is aimed to develop an understanding of relative
permeability in fractures of oil-water systems. Currently, two-phase flow behavior across unpropped and propped fractures is not well known. As a result, reservoir modeling using computational simulation for the area involving fractures typically utilizes straight-line relative
permeability and zero capillary pressure in fractures. Nonetheless, several experiments have shown that both viscous and capillary dominated flows can be predicted in naturally fractured reservoirs where non-straight-line relative
permeability must be used to model such reservoirs correctly. The experimental analyses performed in this thesis were carried out using the outcrop core from the Eagle Ford shale formation. The outcrop Eagle Ford rock was cored into four 1.5" diameter by 6" cores and saw cut to generate a natural fracture on each core sample. The cores were then saturated in Eagle Ford formation oil at reservoir temperature for a minimum of 30 days before any experiments. The steady-state method was applied to measure the oil-water relative
permeability. Eagle Ford formation oil and reconstituted brine with and without surfactants were used as the test fluids. The measurements were recorded at effective fracture closure stress and reservoir temperature. Also, real-time measurements of density, pressure, and flow rate will be logged throughout the entire duration of each test. Fluid saturations within the fracture were calculated using the mass continuity equation. Results from the experiment were analyzed using Darcy’s Law, and a visible relationship was found between saturation and relative
permeability. The determined relative
permeability curves closely follow the generalized Brooks-Corey relationship for oil-water systems. In comparison, there was a significant difference between the oil-water only systems and the oil-water surfactant systems in the relative
permeability curves. Results from the experiments conducted indicate the potential for surfactant additives to significantly improve the relative
permeability of oil by as much as 26%. Also, the results show the use of the straight-line relative
permeability to predict oil recovery would result in a high percent error.

▼ The current state of shale gas reservoir dynamics demands understanding long-term production, and existing models that address important parameters like fracture half-length,
permeability, and stimulated shale volume assume constant
permeability. Petroleum geologists suggest that observed steep declining rates may involve pressure-dependent
permeability (PDP).
This study accounts for PDP in three potential shale media: the shale matrix, the existing natural fractures, and the created hydraulic fractures. Sensitivity studies comparing expected long-term rate and pressure production behavior with and without PDP show that these two are distinct when presented as a sequence of coupled build-up rate-normalized pressure (BU-RNP) and its logarithmic derivative, making PDP a recognizable trend.
Pressure and rate field data demonstrate evidence of PDP only in Horn River and Haynesville but not in Fayetteville shale. While the presence of PDP did not seem to impact the long term recovery forecast, it is possible to determine whether the observed behavior relates to change in hydraulic fracture conductivity or to change in fracture network
permeability. As well, it provides insight on whether apparent fracture networks relate to an existing natural fracture network in the shale or to a fracture network induced during hydraulic fracturing.

▼ Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, cramping, nausea and gastric pain occur frequently in runners during training and competitions. The mechanisms leading to the distress are not fully understood, nor the reason why some remain asymptomatic. However, hyperthermia induced by exercise elevation of core temperature and oxidative damage due to reduced gastric blood flow have been postulated to affect the intestinal epithelial cells. Both sources of stress disrupt the binding of the epithelial tight junction proteins and increase permeability of the membrane to luminal endotoxins. Endotoxins reaching the blood stream through leaky tight junctions lead to an inflammatory response mediated by cytokines. These mechanisms may underlie the gastrointestinal symptoms often experienced by endurance athletes.
The aim of this study was to measure running-induced changes in intestinal permeability and inflammatory markers and investigate their association with gastrointestinal symptoms. A secondary objective was to inspect possible correlations between gastrointestinal symptom occurrence and intake of certain nutrients.
A total of 17 active runners were allocated into a control group (asymptomatic) or a symptomatic group based on a symptom history questionnaire and completed a 90-minute running test. Intestinal permeability at baseline and after the run were assessed via urine recovery of orally administered Iohexol . LPS (endotoxin) and zonulin concentrations were determined from serum samples. Participants kept a food diary for three days before each measurement and filled out a symptom questionnaire after the run.
No significant difference was found in intestinal permeability between symptomatic and asymptomatic runners either at rest or following strenuous exercise. However, both groups experienced a significant increase in intestinal permeability from baseline to after running. LPS concentrations were significantly higher at baseline in the symptomatic group. This may explain the higher symptom occurrence in the symptomatic group. Zonulin levels were higher in control group than symptom group after the run. Zonulin concentration was also higher in the control group after the run compared to baseline. The symptom group reported more stomach pain and stool changes after running compared to controls. Comparison of average intake of various nutrients between the two groups showed no significant differences, indicating an individual predisposition as the cause of symptoms rather than diet alone. The lack of difference in intestinal permeability between the groups combined with the difference in symptom occurrence indicates that intestinal permeability changes alone do not account for symptom development. A possible factor may be individual differences in intestinal mucosa repair ability or some underlying pathology.

▼ A proper understanding of reservoir connectivity is essential to understanding the relationship between the porosity and the
permeability within it. Additionally, the construction of an accurate reservoir model cannot be accomplished without this information. While a great deal is known about the connectivity in conventional sandstone systems, little is understood about the connectivity and its resultant properties within shale systems. Percolation theory is a method to describe the global properties of the shale system by understanding the nanometer scale interaction of pore space.
In this study we use both analytical and empirical techniques to further understand shale pore scale interactions as well as global phenomena of the shale system. Construction of pore scale connectivity simulations on lattice and in the continuum allow for understanding relationships between pore topology, system porosity and system
permeability. Additionally, questions regarding the role of Total Organic Carbon as well as natural fractures in contributing to shale
permeability will be discussed. Analytical techniques are used to validate simulation results regarding the onset of percolation and related pore topology. Finally, time of flight simulation is used to further understand pressure transient behavior in the resulting topological models.
High aspect ratio pores are shown to be the driver of shale
permeability as opposed to the low aspect ratio pore space associated with organic matrix. Additionally, systems below the percolation threshold are likely able to produce because the wellbore will often encounter near infinite clusters. Finally, a characteristic volume growth profile is shown for a multi-porosity system whereby each level of porosity displays a corresponding stair step of volume growth in time.

▼ Fault and fracture
permeability-stability relationships continually evolve over the seismic cycle. Both static and dynamic changes in mechanical stresses can affect the fluid pressures and vice versa. These changes can be potentially beneficial to energy production, as dynamic stressing has been observed to enhance reservoir
permeability in natural and manufactured systems. However, both dynamic and static changes in stress have also been shown to destabilize faults, triggering earthquakes. It is clear a fundamental understanding of controlling mechanisms is necessary for safely enhancing reservoir productivity and understanding seismic hazard assessment.
In this dissertation, I strive to illuminate the underlying mechanisms that govern
permeability evolution, including transient changes in
permeability associated with dynamic stressing and fault shear. While the relationships between fault slip, dynamic stressing, and
permeability have been studied separately, little data are available on their combined effects. In each chapter, I present results from suites of carefully controlled laboratory experiments to investigate the effect of mode II fault failure and shear on
permeability and poromechanical properties.
In Chapter 1, I investigate the effects of dynamic stressing on highly porous reservoir rock, Berea sandstone, at various stages of shear displacement. I demonstrate that porous rock is sensitive to dynamic stressing only via fluid pulsing and that both reservoir
permeability and sensitivity to dynamic stressing declines with shear. Chapter 2 extends this work into low porosity, low
permeability reservoir rock, Westerly granite and Green River shale. Here I show that frequency of imposed fluid oscillations has the greatest control over
permeability enhancement. Finally, chapter 3 focuses on friction and
permeability responses across multiple reservoir rock types throughout the seismic cycle, simulated via Slide-Hold-Slide and velocity step testing. Here, I use in situ fractured samples alongside traditional, saw cut samples to highlight the effect of fracture roughness on the fluid response across varying rock mineralogy.
This dissertation provides insight to the controlling mechanisms and data that can be used to predict reservoir behavior, including the feasibility of shear failure and dynamic stressing as reservoir
permeability management techniques. I demonstrate that
permeability-stability relationships evolve as a result of dynamic stressing and are dependent upon properties of the reservoir: porosity, fracture roughness, and stiffness as well as the properties of imposed dynamic stressing: frequency and amplitude. The evidence provided shows differing results from exercising the same mechanism when applied to different types of reservoir rock.

▼ Coal gas extraction consists of coalbed methane (CBM) recovery from surface drilling boreholes and coal mine methane (CMM) extraction via both surface and subsurface ventholes in conjunction with mining operations. The
permeability of a certain fluid in coal reservoirs and its stress response corresponding to dynamic pressure are critical for both effective gas drainage from coal and CBM extractions. For both CMM and CBM applications, the dimensions of fluid flow pathways can range from tens of centimeters to several micrometers, even nanometers. The transport behaviors of fluids in multiscale flow pathways are expected to be dramatically different.
Permeability evolution and fluid transportation behaviors in multiscale flow pathways are dominant factors in achieving the successful gas extraction in coal reservoirs. This dissertation focuses on the transport behaviors in multiscale pathways and their applications in CBM and CMM production.
For CMM application, a conceptual model of broken rock mass compaction was proposed in this study, based on elastic theory, by simplifying the compression process and assuming the connection between broken rocks is a similar cubic mass without a large void space. Compacted rock mass
permeability evolution was modeled based on the cubic law of porosity and
permeability. The predicted
permeability evolution by a coupled model is similar with reported experimental results. Compared to intact rock mass, we found that the stress-strain curve of compacted rock mass takes a longer stress-strain path to reach the linearity due to void space compaction resulting from friction slipping and re-arrangement of the grains. In addition, the
permeability variation under the overburden cyclic loading-unloading process was experimentally investigated in the lab. An average
permeability damage concept with a complete loading-unloading cycle was introduced to quantify the effects of maximum stress, loading path, holding time period, and gas type on
permeability evolution. It was demonstrated that the
permeability hysteresis occurred during the cyclic loading-unloading, and that the average
permeability damage was
subject to the loading-unloading paths. The average
permeability damage for the coal specimen was more sensitive to maximum loading stress and the loading-unloading path compared to gas injection pore pressure and the holding period.
For CBM production, the sorption induced swelling/shrinkage effect was numerically simulated based on a gas-solid coupling model incorporated with swelling effect to evaluate the horizontal stress relaxation under uniaxial strain conditions during depletion. Unlike the elastic strain, the sorption-induced strain showed a non-linear behavior with continuous sorbing gas injections, and these two types of strains were engaged in a competitive process of volumetric change for the coal. It was found that the simulated results of volumetric change under the hydrostatic condition well agreed with experimental data. To better understand frictional sliding behavior and…

▼ The beta-lactam synthon method is an established technique utilizing beta-lactams in natural product synthesis. Through application of our previously described novel beta-lactam preparation, we describe the C3 functionalization and application of previously described and novel β-lactams towards the synthesis of pactamycin – a densely functionalized cyclopentane natural product – and non-natural analogs of salinosporamide A – a proteasome inhibitor currently in clinical trials for treatment of multiple myeloma.Additionally, we present a methodology for the discovery of geometrically diverse, membrane permeable cyclic peptide scaffolds based on the synthesis and permeability screening of a combinatorial library, followed by deconvolution of membrane-permeable scaffolds to identify cyclic peptides with good to excellent passive cell permeabilities. We use a combination of experimental and computational approaches to investigate structure-permeability relationships in one of these scaffolds, and uncover structural and conformational factors that govern passive membrane diffusion in a related set of cyclic peptide diastereomers. Further, we investigate the dependency of permeability on side chain identity of one of these scaffolds through single-point diversifications to show the adaptability of these scaffolds towards development of permeability-biased libraries suitable for bioactivity screens. Overall, our results demonstrate that many novel, cell permeable scaffolds exist beyond those found in extant natural products, and that such scaffolds can be rapidly identified using a combination of synthesis and deconvolution which can, in principle, be applied to any type of macrocyclic template.Finally, we report the application of this "split-pool" synthetic library approach towards the extension of known physical models of passive membrane permeation – in particular, the barrier domain model – to larger molecular weight chemical space. We show that the membrane permeability of macrocycles is governed by lipophilicity and solubility and that the window between the two narrows with increasing molecular size. We recognize this brings into question again the origin of intrinsic permeability of natural membrane-permeable macrocycles such as cyclosporin A.

▼ Abstract Burrow-associated diagenetic alteration and
eventual reservoir quality parameters such as porosity and
permeability may be altered due to reorganization of the sediment
fabric associated with animal burrowing, or result from
heterogeneous cement distribution influenced by the bioturbate
texture. Petrographic analysis has significant application in
recognizing burrow-associated porosity characteristics in marine
sandstones. Petrographic analysis can provide mineral
identification due to diagenetic chemical alterations and textural
evidence regarding cementation history that can lead to more
accurate hydrocarbon target interpretations. Overlooking burrow
structures may lead to misinterpretations of permeability streaks
in hydrocarbon reservoirs. This may be extremely important for
reservoirs where slight permeability variations have an effect on
hydrocarbon reserve calculations. Understanding biogeochemical
reactions and burrow-associated diagenesis that ultimately control
reservoir quality is necessary if production from ancient
bioturbated marine sandstone reservoirs is to be
optimized.

▼ Capillary pressure-saturation data obtained for unconsolidated porous media with different liquids are examined to investigate the effects of clay-liquid interactions on liquid retention. Liquid retention functions are assumed to reflect the effective pore-size distributions. The hydraulic variables, capillary pressure and saturation, are transformed to account for changes in liquid retention that could be attributed to differences in contact angle, density, and surface tension of the liquids. The non-linear Su-Brooks (1976) retention function was linearized so that standard statistical programs can be used on the experimental capillary pressure-saturation data to obtain the retention parameters. The method developed is more rapid than the original method and takes all of the data into consideration. Capillary pressure-saturation data were collected on samples containing 40% montmorillonite as a function of total electrolyte concentration and sodium adsorption ratio. The latter affects measured values only at electrolyte concentrations below 0.5N̲. Three empirical retention functions were fit to the experimental data to determine the respective retention parameters. The retention functions fit the experimental data very well, with an average of R² of 0.9961. The average R² obtained from a multivariate regression model of retention parameters as a function of electrolyte concentration and sodium adsorption ratio was 0.948. The changes in capillary pressure-saturation relationships are explained by swelling. Retention curves for different clay minerals are compared when the wetting fluids are polar (water) or non-polar (soltrol) liquids. The retention curves for water in illite can be accurately predicted from the soltrol curves by assuming an adsorbed water layer up to 1580 molecular layers in thickness. This correction does not predict the measured curves for montmorillonite, apparently because of swelling of the clays in water.

▼ Dyphylline has been shown to be rapidly and completely
absorbed from oral tablets in an absolute bioavailability
study. In a pilot study two healthy male subjects received
1000 mg of dyphylline via intravenous infuson at a rate of
50 mg/min (1.0 ml/min) for 20 minutes. Plasma samples were
collected for 16 hours and urine samples were collected for
72 hours. Observed peak plasma concentration were 22.4
mcg/ml for
subject one and 25.7 mcg/ml for
subject two. No
adverse effects were reported by either
subject; blood
pressure and pulse rate remained normal.
An average of 83% of the administered dose of
dyphylline was recovered in the urine. The remaining 17% of
the dose may be distributed to "deep tissues" and removed
slowly. Computer based pharmacokinetic modeling of the plasma
data, 0-8 hours for
subject one and 0-7 hours for
subject
two, were best described by a two compartment open model with
first order elimination from the central compartment.
However, sigma-minus plots of time extended urine data
reveal nonlinear or multicompartmental pharmacokinetics.
Evidence from the pilot study revealed that intravenous
dyphylline can be safely administered to human subjects at
the given dose and rate infused. Also, pharmacokinetic data
from the pilot study provided background information to
proceed with a twelve
subject study of the absolute
bioavailability of dyphylline.
In a two way crossover design twelve healthy male
volunteers received a single 1000 mg dose of dyphylline
orally as three conventional tablets (2 x 400 mg, 1 x 200
mg) or as a zero-order intravenous infusion (50 mg/min). A
one week washout period separated administration of each
dosage form. Plasma samples were collected over a 12 hour
period and urine samples were collected for 48 hours post
dosing. Urine and plasma samples were extracted and analyzed with high pressure liquid chromatography. Plasma drug
concentration vs. time values after intravenous infusion
were best described by a two compartment open model with
first order elimination (average r² = 0.991 ± 0.007). The
mean elimination half-life after intravenous administration
calculated from the average β-value was 1.99 hours while the average half-life from the average β-value after oral administration was 1.87 hours. The mean absorption half-life
calculated from the mean Ka was 12.2 minutes. Comparison of
average AUC values obtained after administration of tablets
(2829.7 meg x min/ml) to average AUC values after intravenous infusion (2944.6 meg x min/ml) indicates the mean
biological availability was 96.5%. This is supported by
urinary excretion data as an average of 768 mg of intact
dyphylline was recovered in the urine after intravenous
infusion and an average of 818 mg was recovered in the urine
after oral administration of tablets. The urinary excretion
ratio indicates the average oral bioavailability was 109%.
It is concluded that dyphylline was rapidly and completely
absorbed from the commercial tablet formulation investigated.

▼ Based upon the Pearson Type VIII distribution function,
a general retention function which relates the saturation to
the capillary pressure in disturbed soils has been discovered.
This simple and yet complete function has been
shown to describe precisely the imbibition as well as the
drainage branch of the retention curve. It is defined by
four readily assessed parameters that either have physical
significance themselves or may be used to determine some
hydraulic properties of the soil.
With the assumption that the Burdine integrals are
adequate, a relative
permeability function has been derived
through the substitution of the retention function for the
integrands in the Burdine integrals. The
permeability
function is expressed in terms of the incomplete Beta
function ratio whose value may be conveniently found in
some mathematical tables.
Further, a general pore-size distribution function of
soils has been obtained from the retention function. The
derivation of the pore-size distribution function enables
more rigorous examination and further exploration of the
theories concerning water movement in partially saturated
soils. In this respect, an explanation of the phenomenon of
air entrapment during imbibition has been offered through an
energy concept based upon the pore-size distribution function
along with the retention function.
Two criteria of affinity have been established for
porous media. Media are said to be affine if their
corresponding pore-size distribution parameters are identical.
The scaling factor for the external dimension of the model
has been chosen to be the capillary pressure head at the
inflection. point of the retnetion curve, whose value is
always finite.
The effect of the pore-size distribution parameters upon
the retention,
permeability and diffusivity curves has been
analyzed. The analysis shows the parameter governing the
downward concavity of the retention curve is as important
as that governing the upward concavity when it comes to
computing the
permeability values from the retention data. A new and simple apparatus and procedure for obtaining
the retention data of soil water in the laboratory have been
developed. The technique can expedite the acquisition of
the data for either the drainage or the imbibition branch
of the retention curve.

▼ The development of a petroleum reservoir would inevitably induce a rearrangement of the in-situ stress field. The rearrangement of the stress field would then bring about a deformation of the reservoir rock and a change of the
permeability. This experimental study was carried out to investigate rock deformation and its impact on axial
permeability. Triaxial compression tests were conducted on Berea sandstone, Indiana limestone, Westerly granite and tuff specimens. Axial
permeability was continuously measured for Berea sandstone and Indiana limestone during triaxial compression tests. The axial
permeability of fractured Westerly granite specimens was also measured during hydrostatic compression tests. Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring was performed to help improve the understanding of rock deformation. Results showed that Berea sandstone and Westerly granite were relatively brittle, while Indiana limestone and tuff were relatively ductile. Rock deformation altered pore structures and the change of pore structures considerably impacted fluid flow through rock. For porous Berea sandstone and Indiana limestone, the destruction of the pore structure by rock deformation led to a decrease in axial
permeability. For tight Westerly granite, fractures created by rock deformation significantly improved the ease of fluid flow. Acoustic emission response was found to be strongly dependent on rock type. Brittle Berea sandstone and Westerly granite produced high AE rates during compression tests, while ductile Indiana limestone and tuff generated very low AE rates.

▼ In 2005 Huet proposed a semi-analytical model to correlate between rock
permeability and capillary pressure data. The model was proposed with the intention to be a "universal" model where the correlation was unique over a wide range of rock types. The objectives of this study are to verify the power-law relationship between
permeability and the mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) parameters in Huet's semi-analytical model and to propose a new correlation to predict
permeability from the MICP data. We used a data set consisting of 323 samples from different lithologies including tight, sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. The semi-analytical (Huet) model correlates
permeability with porosity (), irreducible wetting phase saturation (Swi), displacement pressure (pd), and the pore-size distribution index () obtained from MICP data. The resulting correlation equation generated in this work shows very good coherence for permeabilities higher than 1 md and reasonably good coherence for permeabilities less than 1 md.
In this work we have refitted the Huet model to our database of 323 samples and over the entire range of permeabilities considered (i.e., 1x10
-7 to 1x10
4 md), 95 percent of the data are related to the proposed model by a factor of 9.1 or less, and 58 percent of the data are related to the proposed model by a factor of 2 or less. When the data are "partitioned," we find that our refitted model has a 95% prediction interval within a factor of 3.97 for
permeability values greater than 1 md and 12.70 for
permeability values less than 1 md. We also showed in this work that our proposed model outperformed the Swanson model to predict
permeability from MICP data.
In addition to the statistical work, we performed analytical derivations to establish an analytical relationship between the semi-analytical (Huet) model and the Swanson model. Our derivation results support the application of the semi-analytical model as a viable (and possibly superior) alternative to the Swanson model. Our analytical work also provides an insight into the viability of the Swanson model, which was developed empirically. Based on this derivation, we propose a new method to determine the Brooks-Corey capillary pressure model parameters as an alternative to the regression method.
In short, this work has confirmed the power-law relationship between
permeability and the mercury injection capillary pressure data to be valid for both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. The new correlation model proposed should provide an improvement for the prediction of
permeability from the mercury injection capillary pressure data. This work also holds promise in relating the Huet semi-analytical model to the Swanson empirical model directly, and we expect that (eventually) a type of "hybrid" model will evolve which will include the influence of both the Brooks-Corey and the Swanson capillary pressure models.

▼ The prediction of production from stimulated ultra-low
permeability (ULP) media using
numerical simulation is thought to be highly correlated with the type of fracture model
used in the simulator. Although there are some general rules about the applicability of
these fracture models, there are no guidelines for the a-priori selection of the "most
appropriate" model. In general, the selection of the fracture model is a matter of
preference and/or familiarity of the person performing the modeling. This work presents
modelling cases from the Eagle Ford (TX), Bakken (ND), Three Forks (ND), and
Wolfcamp (TX) ULP formations where we compare and contrast fracture models.
Production data from wells in the aforementioned formations are history-matched using
models commonly available in commercial reservoir simulation programs. A hybrid
simulation model consisting of a symmetry element which represents a single perforation
cluster and accompanying induced fracture network is created. This network consists of
a discrete hydraulic fracture in a media of one of the four following models to represent
the reservoir and a possible stimulated reservoir volume (SRV):
● The equivalent continuum model (ECM)
● The dual porosity model (DP)
● The dual
permeability model (DK)
● The multiple interactive continuum model (MINC)
The "most representative" models are selected based on the history-matched data
associated with a given case — and specifically, the physical dimension/relevance of the
parameters that were matched. On a regional level, recommendations of particular models
that provide the best match or appear to be more "applicable" across a reservoir are made.
In addition, we consider and investigate the correlation between the model applicability
and the reservoir attributes, the stimulation design, and the completion methods. These
results are used to generate a set of guidelines that can form a basis for extending the
findings of this work to reservoirs outside of the study.

▼ The research discussed herein contains details about exploring a method for healing damaged drinking water pipe distribution systems. Two types of damage in the systems were considered, namely cracking and decalcification. Radial
permeability of the pipes was considered as the metric to measure the damage in the pipe systems. Highly scaled down miniaturized samples were used to study the effects. The effects of different types of flow in the
permeability measurement were studied first. The difference in the types of
permeability measurement, namely poromechanical method (Hollow Dynamic Pressurization) and accelerated flow through method (Radial Flow Through), showed that for cement paste having a unimodal pore network there is no measured difference. For materials with multimodal pore network distribution, namely cement mortar and concrete, there is a significant difference in
permeability measurement between the two methods. The Radial Flow Through measures the flux of fluid across the cross-section of a material while the Hollow Dynamic Pressurization measures the flux of fluid into the smallest pore network of the material. Thus, the Radial Flow Through is primarily influenced by the largest pores in the cross section while the smaller pores primarily influence the Hollow Dynamic Pressurization. The Radial Flow Through method was chosen as the testing method for damage caused by cracking and Hollow Dynamic pressurization was chosen as the method for measuring
permeability in damaged specimens caused by decalcification.
The hollow cylindrical pipe section specimens were damaged in a controlled manner by cracking and decalcification. The damaged samples were healed by a healing solution that was seeded with calcium and carbonate ions to help accelerate the autogenous healing process in the samples. The
effect of the healing was determined by measuring the
permeability of the samples before and after healing. The results showed a
permeability decrease of up to a factor of 4 for decalcified samples and up to a factor of 12.5 in the case of cracked samples. It was also determined that
permeability loss due to cracking was significantly higher that caused by decalcification. The healed samples were imaged using X-ray Computed Tomography to provide more details of the healing precipitation. The resulting images were too sensitive to thresholding effects to provide a clear result. Scanning Electron Microscope assisted Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy was used to isolate the precipitation location of the healing precipitates in the samples. The precipitation was primarily determined to be present along the inner surface of the hollow cylindrical pipe section specimen covering up the crack mouth of the damaged specimen and healing the sample.

▼ The presented study concerns the unconventional coal bed methane (CBM) fields that imply peculiarity of their evaluation. The theoretical basis of the CBM field development is briefly described, most widely known models of changes in the properties of the coal seam are considered.
The study objective was formulation of a computation framework based on material balance equation and incorporating non-equilibrium nature of gas desorption, matrix shrinkage and geomechanically dependent relative
permeability curves. Further solution of a specific CBM single-well problem and parametric study for evaluation impact of separate parameters were conducted.
Focus of the studies was on well production forecasting, effect of mechanical properties of coal on production efficiency, comparison of the analytical models performance based on specific mathematical models for absolute and relative permeabilities and residual saturations.
Numerical simulation is not flexible and easy to understand, therefore other tools are needed in order to try out the newly proposed mathematical models of processes occurring during CBM production. For desorption controlled reservoirs, considering non-equilibrium nature of desorption has to be essential, otherwise the production can be significantly overestimated. The currently proposed models have significant drawbacks, since they have to be heavily adapted to give similar results, being based on experimental results with limited pressures.

Evolution of Permeability and Induced Seismicity within Fractured Reservoirs.

(more)
▼ Fractured in geologic media, advective transport, heat transfer and chemical transport can change the porosity during short- to long-term fluid circulation that results from changes in mineral volume fractions. The porosity-
permeability correlation in geologic media can be complex and depends on several factors such as fracture size distribution, fracture orientations, fracture network connectivity and in situ stresses, among others.
Within fractured reservoirs under geothermal conditions, coupling between fluid transport, mechanical response, heat transfer and chemical reactions may change the
permeability and influence the induced seismicity both during short-term reservoir stimulation and long-term production. During short-term stimulation, rapid enhancement of fracture
permeability occurs as a result of circulating fluid through these fracture networks. During long-term production, hydraulic and thermal effects both contribute to the reactivation of the natural fracture networks and that also enhances the reservoir
permeability. During the reactivation of pre-existing fractures due to hydraulic transport and mechanical deformation, seismic events occur when fluid circulates between the injection and production wells with a large number of high magnitude events associated with the initiation of the reservoir stimulation.
Determining dominant behaviors that control the enhancement of
permeability and the triggering of induced seismicity is the main focus of this work. This dissertation examines the role of coupled thermal, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical effects on various fracture networks in promoting the failure of pre-existing fractures and their influence on the evolution of seismicity and of
permeability.
Part I of this thesis (Chapters 1 and 2) explores the behavior of engineered geothermal systems under the response of complex interactions that change the
permeability and induce seismicity. First a model is introduced to evaluate the rate of propagation of seismicity within a fractured reservoir that represents the Cooper Basin geothermal field. This model is used in Chapter 1 to explore the spatial and temporal distribution of seismic activity within reservoir and to replicate observed patterns. We then apply this understanding (Chapter 2) to more complex fracture networks utilized to explore the reservoir behaviors during reservoir stimulation to production and in understanding the effects that can promote induced seismicity. This model is applied for both the Cooper Basin and Coso geothermal field, for which data are available. The models developed and validated in Chapters 1 and 2 are then applied to project the response of the Newberry EGS demonstration project to both stimulation (Chapter 3) and long-term production (Chapter 4). Part II (Appendix) explores the role of strains developed in unconstrained sorbing and swelling fractured media (coal) and their role in evolving
permeability and in understanding the behavior when CO2 is injected into ECBM or into sequestration sites.
In chapter 1, we…

▼ Permeability and porosity are two very important reservoir properties needed to be accurately measured when studying gas and oil reservoirs, which are essential for designing an optimal and efficient development program of an oil and gas field. There are several ways to determine the
permeability and porosity, such as laboratory experiments. It is using cores obtained from a reservoir, which is expensive, complicated, labor intensive and time consuming. Another way is well logging, which has difficulties and uncertainties to directly interpret
permeability and porosity. Therefore, alternate methodologies for accurate determination of
permeability and porosity are desirable.
An artificial neural network (ANN) has the potential to build a model that can be used as an effective tool for
permeability and porosity prediction. It has the ability to understand a highly non – linear relationship and to perform simulation studies in a rapid manner. Artificial neural networks for this problem were developed based on well test data, which is more accurate and reflects the whole ̶ flow characteristic in porous media as compared to laboratory and well ̶ logging methods. Moreover, comparing it with other simulation models, the artificial neural network model is not restricted by difficulty to update for different systems.
In this study, the model is built with data from dual ̶ lateral wells, which are the major methods to achieve higher accumulative production to meet the current high demand of energy consumption. In previous studies (Basbug, 2007), the authors predicted
permeability and porosity with only reservoir and fluid properties without specifying the well type in the reservoir. Therefore, their model may not apply to the situation with dual ̶ lateral wells. In this study, the well ̶ configuration parameter and well test data are added into the ANN model, which is more accurate in estimating
permeability and porosity as compared to the previous model.
An artificial neural network consists of two primary elements: neurons and interconnections. The number and kinds of neurons are determined by training and learning processes that depend on the input and output data. In the development of the ANN model here, a wide range of data sets were collected from the literature. Those data sets were used for training, testing and validating the proposed model.
The objective of this study is to generate two ANN models. The forward model was built to generate the pressure transient data and estimate whether the surface flow rate is reasonable for a specified reservoir. The inverse ANN model was developed to determine
permeability and porosity of a specified reservoir with dual ̶ lateral wells. And two Graphic User Interfaces were developed for the forward and inverse ANN models. In the end, the inverse neural network was applied to heterogeneous and anisotropic system to see how well it can perform. For homogeneous and anisotropic system, the forward neural network has approx 86% probability to obtain the result within 0-5% error. The…

(more)
▼ Injection of large volumes of fluids during fracture treatment may result in leak-off, capillary imbibition and trapping of the fracturing fluid filtrate in the pores of the reservoir. The trapped fluid affects the mobility of hydrocarbons during clean-up and production. Additionally, the fracturing fluid filtrate near wellbore and fracture region is one of variable composition and can induce alterations in rock-fluid and fluid-fluid interactions. The concomitant changes in multiphase
permeability during fluid invasion and clean-up is one that is not fully understood.
The aim of this study is to investigate the role fracturing fluid filtrate composition has on the evolution of multiphase
permeability during imbibition and drainage of the aqueous phase. In this work, multiphase flow of fracturing fluid filtrate in low
permeability sandstones was investigated by means of laboratory experiments for three commonly employed fracturing fluids. The multiphase flow experiments were conducted using brine, helium and filtrate from various fracturing fluids in sandstones cores of different permeabilities. The alteration of rock-fluid properties and changes in interfacial tension in the presence of gas was determined by evaluation of the obtained relative
permeability curves to both gas and liquid/filtrate phase. Experimental results indicate that there was a reduction in end-point and liquid phase relative
permeability following imbibition of slickwater into the core sample. The liquid phase relative
permeability decreases with increasing concentration of friction reducer (Polyacrylamide solution) present in the fluid system. Adsorption flow experiments with slickwater confirm the adsorption of polyacrylamide molecules to the pore walls of the rock sample and results in increased wettability of the rock sample. This process was found to increase liquid trapping potential of the rock surface. For linear and crosslinked gels, filtrate composition does not have a significant effect on liquid relative
permeability during fluid invasion due to limited polymer invasion into the core.
This study also investigated the effect of alcohol and surfactant used as remediation additives on multiphase
permeability evolution with different fracturing fluid systems. Multiphase
permeability flow tests were conducted to determine, understand and quantify the mechanisms that govern multiphase
permeability evolution using alcohols and surfactants to remediate aqueous phase trapping. Methanol and two surfactant chemicals, Novec FC-4430 and Triton X-100 were used as remediation additives in this study.
Results from multiphase
permeability flow tests conducted with methanol indicated that the volume of liquid removed by displacement increases with methanol concentrations for all fracturing fluids. This is attributed to increased liquid mobility from addition of methanol during the displacement process. Interfacial tension does not contribute to multiphase
permeability during the displacement phase. Additionally, friction reducer alters the flow…

▼ Superpave was introduced in 1994, as a result of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and was aimed at addressing the performance of asphalt concrete pavements. This SHRP study recommended new specifications for asphalt mixture designs which included performance graded binders, performance related aggregate properties, and new principles for volumetric mix designs. With these new mix design principles, it was evident that Superpave mix designs would contain more coarse aggregates and less natural sands. With the introduction of Superpave, many in the Asphalt industry feared that the recommended coarse structured mixes would be very difficult to compact and highly permeable compared to the Marshall mixes they were replacing. In North Carolina, we have seen instances where this theory was proven true and have witnessed coarse Superpave mixes that have been permeable. In general, the cause of this
permeability may be due to increased voids caused by improper compaction that results from the coarse nature of the designs, which in turn creates interconnected voids that will transmit water through the pavement. A remedy to the
permeability problem may be a new test that can determine in the laboratory if certain mixes are susceptible to
permeability. This test is discussed in this study.
The data represented in this study shows the causes of
permeability in a small group of pavements that were sampled and should not be misinterpreted to imply that this small number of distressed pavements is indicative of all Superpave mixes. The selected mixes are a cross section of surface mixes used across the State of North Carolina.
The
permeability test method discussed in this study is a very simple procedure and the data presented show that this test can be used for predicting field
permeability of Superpave surface mixtures. The coarse graded mixes performed poorly in the lab
permeability tests and the fine graded mixes proved to be very impermeable. This study also evaluated mixes using laboratory performance tests. The results show that the coarse graded mixes and fine graded surface mixes perform equally well under laboratory performance testing at a given void content that matches the in-situ properties.
Using these lab tests and the results of this study, a clearer understanding of the effects of water in asphalt pavements and how to prevent this water infiltration has been obtained and new specification changes have been recommended to reduce any future
permeability problem with Superpave surface mixes.

▼ Petroleum exploration and production from shale formations have gained great attention throughout the world in the last decade. Producing the hydrocarbons from shale is challenging because of the low porosity and
permeability. It is imperative to investigate
permeability of the shale formations in order to better understand the performance of wells that are producing hydrocarbons from shale.
Permeability is also one of key parameters in modeling fluids flow in matrix in reservoir simulation. Due to the low or very low
permeability, the measurement of
permeability is time consuming and expensive. These factors often limited the ability to perform
permeability measurement on large numbers of samples. Thus, there is a great demand for a method that can significantly reduce the time of the measurement, which leads to lower cost in core analysis. In this study a downstream pressure build-up method, which is more operational, as in this method the ratio of volume of the upstream reservoir, V1, to volume of the downstream reservoir, V2, approaches infinite. In addition, we developed another new method to determine the
permeability of low to very low
permeability rock based on Darcy’s law and the radius-of-investigation concept, which has been used in the well test design and analysis. Our method evaluates the
permeability under unsteady-state flow, which requires a shorter time to determine flow capacity of low
permeability rock. The new approach is different from the existing methods, such as GRI, oscillating pulse, and pulse decay methods. The significance of this investigation is that it overcomes the limitations in existing methods thus becomes an important supplement to the existing methods.

▼ Unconventional resources are of great importance in the global energy supply. This thesis develops new techniques and presents fundamental research serving unconventional formations evaluation for the petroleum industry.
First, hydrocarbon composition is a critical input to formation evaluation. In this thesis, a new technique using laboratory Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) core-analysis integrated with downhole NMR logging is developed to estimate the hydrocarbon composition in an organic-rich chalk prospect. More specifically, the contrasts in T2 and T1/T2 distributions between fluids are used for fluid typing. Meanwhile, another technique based on the NMR laboratory-measured restricted diffusion of light hydrocarbons is proposed to estimate the mean pore size, heterogeneity length scale, and tortuosity of the hydrocarbon-filled porosity.
Second, it has been commonly observed that in organic-rich shale, the saturating hydrocarbons have higher NMR T1/T2 ratio than the saturating water. However, the origin of the high T1/T2 ratio was not clearly understood until now. In this thesis, the organic matter (i.e., kerogen) in the organic-rich shale is isolated for investigation. It is confirmed that the saturating heptane in kerogen has higher T1/T2 ratio than water in kerogen and clays, which validates the fluid typing technique providing the wettability. This thesis also proves that the high T1/T2 ratio originates from dissolved heptane in kerogen and/or bitumen, where the dominant relaxation mechanism can be the 1H-1H dipole-dipole interaction, as a result of nanopore confinement.
Last but not least,
permeability is an indicator of the producibility of reservoirs, and thereby a critical petrophysical property during formation evaluation. The existing ultralow-
permeability measurement approaches for unconventional formations, including both steady-state and unsteady-state approaches, confronting various challenges. In this thesis, a novel unsteady-state method is proposed to determine the
permeability by history matching, which consists of 1D transient-pressure experiments and numerical simulation incorporating real-gas pseudo pressure and table lookup. This novel method helps to improve the experimental efficiency, simplify the set-ups, reduce the interpretation complexity, and alleviate the pressure-limit constraint.
These new technologies and fundamental understandings could in principle be used to improve the evaluation of unconventional formations.

▼ Adsorption and desorption characteristics of coal samples of the Bulli seam were examined with respect to coal particle size, gas type, and temperature. Adsorption and desorption tests were conducted by an indirect gravimetric method to determine the gas content in coal. Various coal particle sizes, 0.21 mm, 0.30 mm, 1.18 mm, 2.36 mm, 4.75 mm, 6.70 mm, 8.00 mm and 15 mm cubical blocks were examined in addition to the 54 mm diameter coal core. The coal samples were subjected to gas pressure increase, in steps of 500 kPa, up to 4 000 kPa. The coal samples were tested with N₂, CO₂ and CH₄ gas, as single and as mixed gases, at temperatures of 21, 24 and 28 °C. The reported results suggest that the adsorbed mass in coal depends strongly on gas type, sorption time, temperature, and particle size. Saturation time appears to be dependent on gas type but independent of particle size. The minimum saturation time with N₂ and CO₂ gas was found to be approximately two day (2 880 min) while with CH₄ gas it took one day (1 440 min) longer to reach an equilibrium pressure. In addition, there appears to be a hysteresis between adsorption and desorption curves in all the coals tested and with all three gases (N₂, CO₂ and CH₄) investigated. The residual adsorbed mass in coal at atmospheric pressure was found to be about 20-50%, of the maximum gas content at 4 000 kPa, depending on gas type. Experiments were also conducted to examine the effect of displacing the adsorbed CO₂ and CH₄ gases and their binary mixture in coal by the injection of N₂ gas.
To study the feasibility of removing the initially adsorbed gas from coal with another gas, experiments were conducted using an in-house built multi-function outburst research rig. The results revealed that CO₂ gas desorption increased by almost 30% as a result of N₂ gas injection, which was about double that obtained without N₂ gas injection. This finding has a significant bearing in solving the drainage difficulties experienced at rich CO₂ gas concentration zones such as at West Cliff Colliery, area 5, where this study was focused.

▼ A number of investigators have proposed equations to predict
the
permeability of porous media. Most of their equations are based
on the distributions of the sizes of the various contributing pores in
the medium. Presently the pore size distributions of agricultural
soils are most commonly obtained from soil water release curves.
The pressure scale is converted into an equivalent pore diameter
scale by means of the pressure of displacement equation. This
method is time consuming.
The study reported in this thesis was initiated to (1) use a
mercury intrusion method to obtain pore size distributions of porous
materials similar to agricultural soils, (2) use the pore size distributions
thus obtained with existing equations to calculate intrinsic
permeability and (3) compare the calculated
permeability values with
measured values for a range of particle size distributions.
The permeabilities and the pore size distributions of 54 systematically
selected particle size classes of glass beads and crushed
quartz sand were measured. The particle size classes ranged from
44 to 246 microns in diameter. The pore size distributions were
evaluated and used in Marshall's proposed
permeability prediction
equation. The measured permeabilities did not agree with the calculated
values until a correction factor which is a function of the pore
diameter was used.
It is apparent that the pressure of displacement equation
measures only an effective pore dimension.
Permeability prediction
equations require the evaluation of an effective hydraulic dimension.
These two dimensions are different and are influenced by the geometry
of the pore aperture. A necessary correction factor has been
developed which accounts for the difference between the measured and
hydraulic dimension when the mercury intrusion technique is used to
measure pore size distributions.
The results of this study have improved and given a better
theoretical basis for
permeability predictions equations.
