Critical Trapping Numbers and Capillary Desaturation

Compare trapping numbers on interstitial and Darcy bases, screen field rates against reference desaturation onsets, fit desaturation data and convert petroleum units.

Screening calculations on editable SAMPLE reference records, with explicit velocity conventions; not a field-design tool.

Research programme · Abu Dhabi

Project context & resources

Full titleTechno-Economic Screening under Retention Uncertainty

The task: A single result cannot describe project economics across changing assumptions. Readers need to inspect both the data and the conditions behind the calculation.
The contribution: Discounted-cash-flow screening based on twelve SAMPLE screening records, with adjustable retention, sweep and oil-price inputs linked live to net present value, return rate, unit technical cost and breakeven retention.
Scope & assumptions: Economic outputs depend on the selected sweep, retention, price and cost assumptions.
