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.

A growing chorus of suppliers, researchers, and service companies is persuading US operators to re-examine their use of slickwater in shale plays and consider displacing it with carbon dioxide and nitrogen. -
DuPont is ramping up the commercial-scale implementation of its microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) method after nearly a decade of development and testing of what it says is a low-risk way to improve production from mature fields.
-
After a year of field testing, a new type of biopolymer developed by Wintershall, Germany’s largest oil and gas producer, is showing promise as an effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) tool in one of the country’s longest producing oil fields.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Some operators are returning to their North American mature unconventional shale wells to refracture, or restimulate, the rock to accelerate production and enhance ultimate recoveries.
-
The number of subsea wells has increased steadily to more than 5,500 by the end of 2012.
