Enhanced recovery
This paper provides an account of the design, implementation, and operational insights from an enhanced geothermal system proppant stimulation targeting a volcanic, dry rock setting with an approximately 330°C bottomhole temperature.
This paper describes modeling work performed to design fracturing treatment and spacing for wells in the Project Cape enhanced geothermal system in Utah.
This paper reviews the simultaneous supercritical CO2/brine aquifer injection and water-alternating-gas methods for geologic carbon sequestration and proposes a novel integration with saltwater-disposal wells.

Entrepreneurial mindsets with the motivation to explore new materials, not limited to focusing on traditional hydrocarbon gas, carbon dioxide, and chemicals such as polymer and surfactant, are becoming more important for broadening prospects beyond the conventional EOR scene. -
This paper discusses a comprehensive hybrid approach that combines machine learning with a physics-based risk-prediction model to detect and prevent the formation of hydrates in flowlines and separators.
-
This paper explains that the discovery of specific pressure trends, combined with an unconventional approach for analyzing gas compositional data, enables the detection and prediction of paraffin deposition at pad level and in the gathering system.
