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 paper sheds light on newer frontiers of tracer applications with unconventional uses to gain flow insights from an oil and gas reservoir. -
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…

Part 3 of this series looks at the importance of performance analysis and how to generate the economic benefit for solving conformance or sweep efficiency problems. The economic elements of this review are very basic, but they will help you to determine a more-accurate understanding of the true economic benefit.

This paper describes natural fractures and their effect on hydrocarbon productivity in the Vaca Muerta shale formation.
-
This paper describes efforts at the Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site 2 to collect a research data set to improve understating of spatial and temporal hydraulic fracture dimensions, proppant distribution, and reservoir depletion.
-
This study introduces a data-driven virtual viscosity meter as a tool to augment inline and laboratory viscosity measurements.
-
This paper presents an integrated system for fracturing optimization using real-time and historical data along with organizational knowledge and the challenges and key considerations of implementing such a system.
-
This paper describes the analysis of actual performance data for acid fracturing in a tight carbonate formation to investigate the ineffectiveness of the process.
