The primary purpose of this study is to develop a method that overcomes the restrictions of rock-mechanics tests with respect to unconventional shale formations.

SPE’s technical directors are focused on problems that require working outside the bounds of their discipline.

An ongoing research project started nearly 3 years ago by the US Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is shedding new light on what really happens to foamed cement as it is pumped deep down offshore wells during completions.

The industry’s continued migration into deeper, hotter, and more unconventional oil and gas reservoirs carries the potential for significant financial rewards and major economic risks.

This paper focuses on the effects of injected-gas composition and fracture properties on oil recovery, concluding that cyclic gas injection in hydraulically fractured shale oil reservoirs is feasible for improving oil production substantially over primary production.

Initially, polymer flooding had not been considered as a viable enhanced-oil-recover (EOR) technology for Pelican Lake in northern Alberta, Canada, because of the high viscosity of the oil until it was considered in combination with horizontal wells.

Each year, the SPE/IADC Drilling Conference and Exhibition provides a place for producers, contractors, and service company professionals to meet, discuss, evaluate, and share ideas to advance drilling operations around the world.

Incorporating enhanced-recovery focus into field-management practices as early as possible is finally becoming the norm.

One of the key aspects of safety in mature fields is to maintain well integrity, which is associated directly with maximizing well productivity and minimizing risks to personnel and environment.

This work presents a methodology to construct a sector model for the Tengiz field that covers one-sixth of the field area to evaluate improved-/enhanced-oil-recovery (IOR/EOR) processes to increase oil recovery through the life of the field.
