Petroleum Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Capillary Pressure Upscaling

This Petroleum Engineering final year project examines examining how averaging methods alter a fictional saturation profile using licensed teaching evidence or an explicitly fictional engineering model with stated uncertainty.

Why choose this project topic?

The research value lies in examining how averaging methods alter a fictional saturation profile, a bounded petroleum-engineering question with identifiable assumptions. Comparing saturation distribution, fluid volume and averaging sensitivity gives a student a practical basis for diagnostic plots, calculations and a critical account of why different models can produce different decisions.

How do the selected reservoir, well or facility assumptions affect saturation distribution, fluid volume and averaging sensitivity when examining how averaging methods alter a fictional saturation profile?

Choose accessible licensed teaching data or a transparent fictional case, then agree parameter ranges and evaluation criteria for examining how averaging methods alter a fictional saturation profile with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the model boundaries, data provenance and assumptions required for examining how averaging methods alter a fictional saturation profile.
  2. 02Use documented teaching capillary curves, compare upscaling rules and evaluate equilibrium profiles under consistent boundary assumptions.
  3. 03Compare saturation distribution, fluid volume and averaging sensitivity and explain uncertainty, non-uniqueness and application limits.

A suggested research approach

Use documented teaching capillary curves, compare upscaling rules and evaluate equilibrium profiles under consistent boundary assumptions. Confirm permission to use all data and identify synthetic values explicitly. Check units, conservation and numerical behaviour, then compare saturation distribution, fluid volume and averaging sensitivity with a documented reference and retain alternative interpretations where the evidence cannot distinguish them.

What you will need

  • Published teaching curves
  • Synthetic layered model
  • Reservoir calculation tools

Keep your project scope clear

Upscaled curves cannot replace core analysis or establish actual hydrocarbon volumes.
