Comparative Study Between Overbalanced And Underbalanced Oil Drilling Methods

In the present day oil and gas industry, the chemicals used as pH controller are usually imported at an exorbitant price - which take a large part of the drilling cost and have ripple effect on the economy of the Nation. It is however necessary to source for an alternative by the use of local materials so as to enhance cost effectiveness. This study nonetheless focus on investigating the suitability of locally sourced materials as pH e […]

This study focuses on optimizing oil production from a swampy, gas-lifted oil field situated onshore in Nigeria's Niger Delta region. Utilizing Production and System Performance software (PROSPER), we designed gas-lift models and developed performance curves for each well. We also conducted a sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of variations in water cut, gas-lift injection rates at constant reservoir pressure, skin factor, and G […]
