Enhanced recovery
As the industry accelerates carbon capture, use, and storage initiatives, modeling innovations for carbon-dioxide injection and enhanced oil recovery have become critical for optimizing recovery and ensuring secure storage. Recent studies highlight a shift toward data-driven and hybrid approaches that combine computational efficiency with operational practicality.
Operators are turning to new gas-lift and nanoparticle-fluid technologies to drive up production rates.
This paper addresses the difficulty in adjusting late-stage production in waterflooded reservoirs and proposes an integrated well-network-design mode for carbon-dioxide enhanced oil recovery and storage.

Water handling is becoming increasingly important as a technical and economic tool for improved oil recovery and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. A global series of workshops to address these issues has been planned. -
In this paper, the authors report results from experiments as well as modeling of water/oil-emulsion rheology that can form during alkaline/surfactant/polymer injections for enhanced recovery.

The Polymer injection project on the Dalia field, a high permeability sandstone reservoir deep offshore Angola, is a world first in both surface and subsurface aspects. A phased approach was used to manage risks, along with development of new monitoring approaches.
