Title: Success and Failure Factors for Cyclic Gas Injection in Unconventional Reservoirs

Presentation Abstract:
Unconventional reservoirs through hydraulic fracturing produce higher initial volumes of oil while the decline rates are very high with low recovery factors.Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) through cyclic gas injection has increased recovery factors in the Eagle Ford. There have also been some unsuccessful attempts. This presentation focuses on the factors that yield to a succesful cyclic gas injection project with a special emphasis on containment and contact. The challenges of unconventionals from a reservoir perspective during application of cyclic gas injection are discussed. Ideas to manage/mitigate these challenges during gas injection are presented. How to utilize modeling solutions to understand the reservoir and to create successful gas injection design and quantify its success are also discussed.

Speaker Biography:
Tuba Firincioglu is the Managing Director at NITEC LLC. Since joining NITEC in 1998 as a Reservoir Engineer, she has focused on the application of reservoir engineering technologies for the resolution of complex reservoir development programs.She has performed or managed over 100 reservoir studies involving dry gas, gas condensate, volatile oil, and black-oil fields; including modeling and design of many conventional and unconventional EOR applications. Her experience covers most geological depositional environments from fluvial sands to carbonates.
Dr. Firincioglu is an expert in numerical simulation of fractured reservoirs and hydrocarbon phase behavior under confinement. She has been involved in unconventional oil and gas resource plays since 2009, and has worked on all the major unconventional basins in North America including Monterey, Piceance, Bakken, Three Forks, Eagle Ford, Permian (Midland, Delaware), Barnett, Woodford, Meramec, Osage and Montney. During this period she also designed and taught Unconventional Reservoir numerical simulation courses.
Dr. Firincioglu has served in technical committees of various SPE Conferences and has chaired sessions. She was invited Discussion Leader for three SPE Forums. She currently serves in the SPE Reservoir Advisory Committee, and has co-authored 15 SPE papers. She is also the recipient of 2020 Rocky Mountain Regional Reservoir Description and Dynamics Award.
Dr. Firincioglu holds a B.S. degree from Istanbul Technical University, an M.S. degree from Stanford University, and a Ph.D. degree from Colorado School of Mines, all in Petroleum Engineering.

Title: Acoustic Imaging of Perforation Erosion in Hydraulically Fractured Wells (SPE-199718-MS and SPE-URTEC-2021-5442-MS)

Abstract:
Solid-state, high-resolution acoustic imaging technology has been deployed in hydraulically fractured horizontal wells to capture images of perforations and measure the degree of erosion. Instead of optics, the imaging technology uses high-frequency sound waves to image a full lateral through opaque fluids at sub-millimetric levels. This has enabled operators to understand what is occurring downhole on an individual perforation level and has proven to be a valuable tool in improving and optimizing completion designs.This presentation will discuss using acoustic-based downhole imaging technology to provide a 360-degree view inside a variety of lateral stimulated wells from new completions to refrac wells. The data we will show, and which is gathered from the imaging, includes perforation erosion range, perforation orientation dependency, cluster efficiency, perforation erosion bias, as well as the presence of significant casing damage around areas where plugs were set, casing deformation and ovality.After presenting the data that can be collected, we will share 2 field studies from basins in the US where acoustic imaging data provided detailed feedback on where designs are working effectively and where they can be improved.

Tamara Maxwell is the Western Region Sales Director for DarkVision Technologies. She has over 15 years’ experience within the OFS sector of our industry and holds Bachelor of Science in Materials Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines. Her experience spans operations, data analysis and sales with a particular focus on acoustics measurements.As a Petrophysicist, she leveraged acoustic data to build geomechanical models and as a technical sales engineer she used the data for casing evaluation. At DarkVision, she continues to focus on acoustics data of the immediate wellbore and apply her refined skillset to downhole evaluation in well integrity and completion optimization. (edited)
