huff and puff
-
SponsoredMesser and Nissan Chemical recently introduced a new Huff ’n’ Puff process that combines CO2 or N2 gas and nanoparticles for synergistic multi-spectrum recovery enhancement from aging, depleted wells. -
This paper studies the technical and economic viability of this EOR technique in Eagle Ford shale reservoirs using natural gas injection, generally after some period of primary depletion, typically through long, hydraulically fractured horizontal-reach wells.
-
The Eagle Ford formation has produced approximately 2 billion bbl of oil during the last 7 years, yet its potential may be even greater. Using improved oil-recovery (IOR) methods could result in billions of additional barrels of production.
-
The low recovery rates observed in most shale reservoirs has prompted a number of research projects to develop new enhanced oil recovery methods.
