Enhanced recovery
This paper presents an autonomous, data-driven solution designed specifically for intermittent well optimization.
This paper discusses waterflooding and field-development implications of subsea seawater treatment for improved oil recovery.
This work evaluates CO2-based fracturing as a sustainable development approach for shale gas reservoirs in the Burgos Basin of Mexico.
-
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.
-
Factors such as hydraulic gradients in the horizontal completion, geologic and fluid variations in the reservoir, and well-placement issues can produce very poor steam conformance in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD).
-
Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) contain a significant amount of remaining petroleum reserves and are now being considered for water-alternating-gas (WAG) flooding as secondary or tertiary recovery.
