Enhanced recovery
The objective of this microfluidic investigation is to identify and test two novel applications for magnetic fluids in porous media for subsurface oilfield applications.
This paper describes a study to design and implement an enhanced oil recovery project via a huff ’n’ puff using Y-grade injectant.
This study compares water-based chemicals that can be used for enhancing the oil recovery of shale-oil reservoirs, including surfactants, nanoparticles, and ketones.

Injecting gas plus water proved more effective and less costly than gas-only injection in the Bakken. -
The authors of this paper develop an assay method to determine effective scale-inhibitor concentration.
-
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.
