EOR/IOR

This study investigates the potential for in-situ hydrogen generation from hydrocarbons using in-situ combustion, with particular emphasis on the role of kerogen content and heating mode.

This study presents applications involving the use of calcium carbonate particles for conformance improvement for CO2 water-alternating-gas injection in the operator’s Permian enhanced-oil-recovery projects.

This work presents a detailed laboratory-based evaluation integrated with field-pilot test results of a cyclic natural gas liquids-injection project in the Middle Bakken.

Case studies from Devon Energy, ConocoPhillips, and others show how clever engineering and technology are being used to improve recovery and asset value.

SPE Journal is seeking submissions for a special issue on sustainable enhanced oil recovery (EOR), highlighting innovations that boost oil recovery while reducing CO2 emissions and environmental impact. The Call for Papers opens on 15 October 2026.

The deal hands Diversified nearly 500 gross operated wells producing 68,000 BOE/D.

A new licensing deal with ZL Chemicals will make Chevron’s unconventional EOR technology available to other tight-oil producers.

This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.

This paper details a new enhanced oil recovery method piloted successfully by several operators in the Bakken and recently implemented in the Midland play of the Permian Basin.

This paper describes the use of encapsulated polymer technology to address the issues of shear degradation and injectivity integrity faced in the application of polymer flooding in an offshore development context.
