Enhanced recovery
This paper presents an autonomous, data-driven solution designed specifically for intermittent well optimization.
This work evaluates CO2-based fracturing as a sustainable development approach for shale gas reservoirs in the Burgos Basin of Mexico.
This paper describes an autonomous inflow-control technology for gas wells developed to detect and choke unwanted water production autonomously while allowing gas and condensate production.

An operator has launched a successful, limited-scope deployment of a nonparametric capability known as event detection and association (EDA). -
Production of low-viscosity liquids, including condensates, from tight reservoirs such as shales is severely restricted by the ultralow permeability of such formations, limiting production to a very small fraction, usually less than 5%, of the liquids in place.

A major heavy oil producer in California has agreed to test a device that is designed to reduce emissions of smog-producing gases and increase the efficiency of gas burners.
-
Demand for a better way to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from natural gas led to the creation of a new material at Rice University in Houston that does something unprecedented on the molecular scale, and might even change gas processing.
-
"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.
