Oilfield chemistry feed

This article is the second of a two-part series on produced-water management in the Gulf of Mexico and covers four themes: equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality.

Field examples of operators using chemical restimulation to boost production in aging unconventional wells as an alternative to acid treatments.

This work investigates a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to acidification for sheen control.

The paper aims to address the challenges and opportunities in managing produced water and its contaminants in the petroleum industry.

The USGS has said up to 19 million tons of lithium resource is contained in the briny waters of the Smackover formation in Arkansas.

This study explores the potential of locally produced surfactants for enhanced oil recovery in high-temperature and high-salinity reservoir environments.

Machine learning and a decade of gas composition records helped the operator identify wells that were most likely to produce paraffins.

This first of a two-part series provides guidelines for designing and operating advanced produced-water systems on offshore platforms, covering fluid characterization, chemical treatment, equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality.

This study aims to optimize the use of rhamnolipid biosurfactants for enhancing the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil.

This study proposes graphene nanoplatelets as a preflush system to extend the lifetime of a conventional scale-inhibitor squeeze treatment.
