Enhanced recovery
This paper presents a novel reservoir engineering/reservoir simulation approach—a data-driven interwell-connectivity model augmented as a digital twin—to predict reservoir dynamics and optimize operations in the Changqing oil field of China.
This paper presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.

"Smart water" is needed for effective waterflooding in carbonate reservoirs. A novel water-ionic technology, comprising nanofiltration and reverse-osmosis membrane-based processes, was identified for optimization in this study. -
Refracturing older unconventional wells is likely to reward those willing to investigate the reasons why production declines and what can be done to restore it, according to George King, distinguished engineering adviser at Apache Corp.

Angola’s Block 17 is nearing the end of one era of development and the beginning of its next.
-
In this paper, a strategy for designing a novel small-molecule CO2 thickener is detailed.
-
This paper investigates the use of gelling CO2/water emulsions, stabilized by silica nanoparticles, to control the mobility of CO2.
-
This study presents experimental results on the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) as an enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) agent in preserved, rotary sidewall reservoir core samples with negligible permeability.

Two alkali/surfactant/polymer (ASP) floods became operational in the Taber area of Alberta, Canada, in 2006 and 2008.
-
A successful pilot test of polymer flooding was conducted in the San Jorge Gulf basin.
-
This paper is a detailed examination of Pleistocene-to-Upper-Miocene turbidite reservoirs in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico under water injection.
-
Enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) methods have been increasingly positioned into the mainstream of project planning these past years as conventional, highly productive, and large reservoirs have become more difficult to find.
