Stakeholder Issues Play Key Role in Shale Future

As the shale revolution changes the map of oil and natural gas development and shifts the balance of production between regions, public acceptance is an increasing challenge.

Oman Champions EOR in the Middle East

Although famous for its abundant oil fields, generations of production in the Middle East is putting sharper focus on ultimate recovery from these fields.

Wellbore Strengthening: The Mechanical Option

Before many of the new chemical and nanoparticle technologies for wellbore strengthening arrived to the marketplace, casing while drilling (CWD) was used for more than a decade to mechanically achieve the same end.

Oil Tests at Extreme Conditions Yield New Data for Reservoir Modeling

Drilling in the extremely deep waters of the US Gulf of Mexico has revealed huge oil reservoirs, and gaps in the industry’s capabilities.

Simulation of Residual Oil Saturation Through Tuning of Equilibrium Constants

Conventional miscible- or near-miscible-gasflood simulation often overestimates oil recovery, mostly because it does not capture a series of physical effects tending to limit interphase compositional exchanges.

Designing an Optimized Surfactant Flood in the Bakken

The Bakken’s ultratight, largely oil-wet nature limits the potential of waterflooding. As an alternative, an optimally spaced well-to-well surfactant-flooding technology is proposed.

EOR Performance and Modeling-2016

Limited design capability, few number of field tests, and lack of monitoring and control were the reasons most EOR projects did not perform in the past. All those are history now.

EOR-Feasibility Study for a Large Carbonate Field in Kuwait

This study provides technical analysis of the viability of enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) processes; the results indicate the potential for significant improvement in recovery efficiency over continued waterflooding.
