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.

This work demonstrates that molecular diffusion may be a viable oil-recovery mechanism in fractured reservoirs during injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). -
In this paper, two different EGR methods are investigated and systematically compared in terms of efficiency.
-
In this study, the authors use measured CO2/brine relative permeability data available in the literature to study the behavior of the data obtained for various rocks.
-
This paper introduces a new carbon dioxide (CO2) -hybrid fracturing-fluid design that intends to improve production from ultratight reservoirs and reduces freshwater usage.
-
The combination of technology advances and world politics results in oil supply-and-demand cycles that have occurred repeatedly over the past 100 years and that have affected and will continue to affect our careers.
-
A normal five-spot polymer-flooding pilot has been conducted at the Mangala field, one of the largest onshore fields in India, and results are encouraging
-
Several studies explored the possibility of improving both areal and vertical sweep efficiency in mature water-alternating-gas (WAG) patterns in the Magnus oil field.
-
Foams have proved to be efficient at temporarily blocking high-conductivity layers and improving gas-injection conformance and sweep efficiency in predominantly matrix reservoir systems, at least in laboratory and field pilot tests.

What a difference a year can make! Back in June 2014, when the EOR Operations feature last appeared in JPT, Brent was trading at more than USD 100/bbl.
