Carbonate rocks and petroleum reservoirsa geological perspective from
Carbonate reservoirs contain an increasingly important percentage of the world's hydrocarbon reserves. This volume presents key recent advances in carbonate exploration and reservoir analysis. As well as a comprehensive overview of the trends in carbonate over the years, the volume focuses on four key areas:
Carbonate rocks and petroleum reservoirs: a geological …
Carbonate oil reservoirs are sometimes regarded with apprehension in the petroleum industry since it can be difficult to predict the quality of, and ensure high recovery factors from, this rock family. ... Because porosity in carbonate rocks generally presents as diverse and heterogeneous, conventional core plugs are seldom …
Wettability alteration of carbonate rock by nonionic
As a result, carbonate rock swelling decreases leading to less damage to the reservoir rock and thus increased oil production capacity. The results of the third stage swelling after placing the carbonate rock in the water-based PEG drilling fluid at 80 °C, its weight increased 0.925 g equivalent to 3.18%. Compared with the first and second ...
