Nanotechnology has enormous potential in the oil industry, with numerous applications currently under investigation.

This paper describes the evaluation of a nanofluid containing nanomaterials with high adsorption capacity used for asphaltene inhibition in the volatile Cupiagua Sur oil field in Colombia.

Precise manipulation and control of matter at dimensions of 1–100 nm have transformed many industries including the oil and gas industry.

Historically, invert-emulsion drilling fluids are the preferred system for drilling offshore Cameroon. However, with a regulatory environment moving toward zero discharge, associated costs are rising.

This is the most exciting time for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in recent memory. At last, almost everyone is talking about increasing recovery factors, and improved oil recovery (IOR) and EOR are being considered natural components of reservoir management.

Foam simulation brings various numerical challenges. Some of these problems are largely cosmetic.

This paper discusses the process undertaken by the Clair Ridge project in getting RS enhanced oil recovery (EOR) adopted as a Day-1 secondary waterflood.

Factors such as hydraulic gradients in the horizontal completion, geologic and fluid variations in the reservoir, and well-placement issues can produce very poor steam conformance in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD).

Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) contain a significant amount of remaining petroleum reserves and are now being considered for water-alternating-gas (WAG) flooding as secondary or tertiary recovery.

Australian technology developer MezurX is touting its newly introduced flow, density, and mud monitoring system as a significantly better alternative to the widely used Coriolis meter.
