Enhanced recovery
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
This paper presents findings reinforcing the argument that acid fracturing is a strong alternative stimulation method to improve productivity in the Austin Chalk formation.

The first acid job dates to 1895. Challenges remain, however, when it comes to lithology, coverage, penetration, and management of reaction products. These themes remain a focus for stimulation engineers.
-
In Part 2 of a series of articles, the author focuses on generating a connection between the problem types and various methods of trying to solve these problems.
-
In Part 1 of a series of articles, the author highlights candidate selection and problem clarification. This section describes how the success rate of solving conformance problems is improved by reducing assumptions and improving your problem understanding prior to executing a solution.
