Enhanced recovery
This paper discusses the effect of injected-polymer viscosity on various aspects of a project, from recovery to surface facilities, including both theoretical arguments and practical field experience—which do not always align.
This study leverages oil-fingerprinting technology and geochemical data to evaluate the fluid connectivity between a main field and its stepout wells.
This paper provides details of a pilot study conducted on multiple wells, showcasing the potential of a novel biotechnology in Bakken enhanced oil recovery.

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.

A North Dakota Supreme Court decision changed the rules for leasing pore space from landowners and their rights to compensation. This decision and the US Inflation Reduction Act, which significantly increases tax incentives for operators’ carbon capture and storage projects, is likely to spur other states to clarify their laws regulating pore space.

The paper describes the components of an all-electric system, how it fits within a subsea application, and how it compares with traditional electrohydraulic systems.
-
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.
-
This paper discusses the challenges presented by factors such as infrastructure, types of primary energy, and investment.
-
This paper illustrates efforts undertaken to evaluate high-viscosity friction reducers and crosslinked gel products, their successful field application, and the importance of maintaining an effective field/laboratory/field cycle.
