Enhanced recovery
This paper describes the operator’s initiative to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and recover additional hydrocarbon, monetizing it as sales gas, by integrating upstream and downstream gas facilities in a unified approach.
This paper introduces a novel steam-sensitive flow-control device designed to restrict the production of steam and low-subcool liquids while allowing higher mobility of oil-phase fluids.
This study integrates laboratory testing with reservoir simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of autonomous inflow-control valves in managing late-life steam-assisted gravity-drainage production challenges.

This study presents a novel approach to screen thermally stable surfactants at high pressures and high temperatures for the explicit purpose of wettability alteration in the operator’s Eagle Ford acreage.
-
This paper presents a novel sustainable cost-effective method developed to scale up synthesis of Janus carbon nanoparticles from waste plastic feedstock by combined pyrolysis, chemical functionalization, and pulverization.

This paper presents a systematic review of the largest alkaline-surfactant-polymer flood project in the world, applied to the largest oil field in China.
-
In this paper, the authors evaluate the simultaneous optimization of CO2 storage and oil recovery using multiple injection strategies.

Oil is the bedrock on which modern society is built. The primary question remains: How can we continue to produce oil while minimizing its climate-harming byproducts? Thanks to the ingenuity of industry professionals around the world, new technologies are emerging that allow us to achieve this goal.

SponsoredThe Wyoming Gas Injection Initiative (WGII) makes available $22 million of matching funds from the State of Wyoming to implement, in close collaboration with oil and gas operators and Dow, multiple field pilot projects in the State of Wyoming. The Initiative will fund projects over a 3- to 5-year period to support developments with significant potential to enhance wel…
