Subject-Matter Expert Abu Dhabi National Oil Company

Kristian Mogensen, SPE, is a subject-matter expert on phase behavior at Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s Thamama Excellence Center. Additionally, he oversees the design of limited-entry liners for long horizontal wells and steers development of compositional, integrated asset models for production-system optimization. Before assuming his current role, Mogensen worked 12 years on enhanced oil recovery for Maersk Oil, Eni, and ADNOC. He was the recipient of the SPE 2020 Regional Reservoir Description and Dynamics Award and was an SPE Distinguished Lecturer for 2022–23. Mogensen’s publications include 60 SPE papers, 20 peer-reviewed journal papers, and more than 20 patents. He holds MS and PhD degrees in chemical engineering from the Technical University of Denmark and serves as chair of the JPT Editorial Review Board.

Enhanced recovery

EOR Operations

The industry clearly needs creative solutions that are affordable and operationally flexible, and the three papers selected for this Technology Focus highlight some innovative approaches that aim to unlock those extra barrels.

Enhanced recovery

EOR Operations-2025

The three papers selected for this feature highlight some creative solutions that aim to increase project value by either increasing recovery or optimizing injectant cost, or both.

Enhanced recovery

EOR Operations-2024

The EOR scene has evolved as well. Low-salinity waterflooding, originally thought to apply only in certain sandstone reservoirs, appears to be able to unlock additional reserves also for some carbonate formations, although the fundamental mechanisms are different.

Acidizing/stimulation

Smart Liner Matrix-Acid Stimulation—A Cost-Effective Performance-Enhancement Technique for Carbonate Reservoirs

Carbonate reservoirs require effective acid stimulation to improve well productivity. For long horizontal wells, a complicating factor has previously been the difficulty of controlling acid placement along the reservoir section. The Smart Liner concept uses a number of small holes spaced in such a way so as to distribute the acid evenly along the reservoir interval.
