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.
