Enhanced recovery
This paper presents the application of degradable particulate-diverter technology to improve oil production by effectively diverting stimulation treatment fluids away from high-water-cut, high-permeability, high-temperature producing intervals or zones.
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.
Through continuous technological innovation, creative juices are flowing in the enhanced oil recovery society of both industry and academia, whose scope is spreading further outward to target unconventional reservoirs and emerging concepts beyond the conventional ones.
