Enhanced recovery
This work investigates the root cause of strong oil/water emulsion and if sludge formation is occurring within the reservoir using a robust integrated approach.
In this work, a perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory equation of state has been developed to characterize heavy-oil-associated systems containing polar components and nonpolar components with respect to phase behavior and physical properties.
This paper aims to present thoroughly the application of subsurface safety injection valves in extremely high-temperature environments.

Pilots and papers are plentiful, but the shale sector has no big enhanced oil recovery projects to speak of. It may just have to stay that way for a while.

This study proposes a hybrid model that combines the capacitance/resistance model, a machine-learning model, and an oil model to assess and optimize water-alternating-gas (WAG) injectors in a carbonate field.
