This paper presents the results of a comprehensive study performed to improve understanding of deep bottom-up water injection, which enabled optimizing the recovery of a heavy oil field in South Oman.

The future of the heavy-oil business in Alaska looks more promising than ever after a 2-year pilot delivers technical and economic success.

The authors of this paper develop an assay method to determine effective scale-inhibitor concentration.

The authors of this paper use a pattern-review technique in a complex brownfield as a tool to understand reservoir connectivity and dynamic fluid movements across the field.

The authors of this paper describe a fiber-optic diagnostic method based on Rayleigh frequency shift that provides new insights about the characteristics of the near-wellbore region during production.

The paper investigates estimation of optimal design variables that maximize net present value for life-cycle production optimization during a single-well CO2 huff ‘n’ puff process in unconventional oil reservoirs.

Two new wells will add 20,000 BOED to the field’s overall production volumes.

Rodolfo Camacho-Velázquez identifies areas of opportunity for future reservoir engineers related to the technical challenges of increased production and recovery of complex conventional and unconventional reservoirs, the application of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies in reservoir subdisciplines, and the energy transition.

Natural gas delivered as LNG to growing economies in Asia has a strong role to play in achieving net zero in carbon emissions, and most of that gas will come from unconventional resources.

Schlumberger and Russia’s Gazprom Neft have agreed to jointly develop software and promote other upstream services to be commercialized across Russia and internationally.
