Enhanced recovery
In a study that applied alternative carbon carrier technology to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scenarios, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found that the new method recovered up to 19.5% more oil and stored up to 17.5% more carbon than conventional EOR methods.
This paper presents a novel workflow with multiobjective optimization techniques to assess the integration of pressure-management methodologies for permanent geological carbon dioxide storage in saline aquifers.
This paper reviews lean construction management processes adopted in the Apani Field development, from facility design to construction management and drilling-location preparation.

For companies working to maximize production and profits, one of the biggest questions has been, and continues to be, how manyu wells to drill per square mile. -
The number of subsea wells has increased steadily to more than 5,500 by the end of 2012.

This paper presents a concept for recovery in Canadian oil sands that uses water injection to condition a reservoir interval sufficiently to relieve the overburden stress on the oil sand and increase its porosity and permeability.
-
To increase the production of a heavy-oil reservoir offshore Congo, a study of DHEH applications has been carried out with encouraging results.
-
Work conducted in the Surmont field of Alberta, Canada, provided an excellent starting point to optimize flow-control improvements to the SAGD process.
-
Research into whether CO2 can be used to coax billions more barrels of oil from unconventional formations is beginning to show promise.
-
Tests showing increased recoveries in the Bakken formation using CO2 could have significant implications for the upstream oil and gas industry.
-
This is the most exciting time for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in recent memory. At last, almost everyone is talking about increasing recovery factors, and improved oil recovery (IOR) and EOR are being considered natural components of reservoir management.
-
Foam simulation brings various numerical challenges. Some of these problems are largely cosmetic.
-
This paper discusses the process undertaken by the Clair Ridge project in getting RS enhanced oil recovery (EOR) adopted as a Day-1 secondary waterflood.
