The use of enhanced oil recovery methods to improve oil productivity has grown and come to stay in the industry. This is as a result of its ability to improve productivity and sweep efficiency. Waterflooding, the most widely used method to recover oil becomes less effective when...

Scale formation and deposition is a recurring problem in many oil producing fields leading to operational problems, problems in reservoirs, pumps, valves and topside facilities. Scale is described economically as a menace to an oil-field because its build-up clogs the flow lines...

In this paper, a modification of Bourgoyne and Young ROP model has been derived. Bourgoyne and Young recommend multiple regression method to determine unknown coefficients. However, applying multiple regressions leads to physically meaningless values in some situation. Although s...

Gas compressibility factor, also known as gas deviation factor or Z-factor, is a thermodynamic correction factor which describes the deviation of a real gas from ideal gas behaviour. The, free gas Z-factor in the Material Balance Equation (MBE) of single-porosity gas reservoirs w...
