Enhanced recovery
This work investigates the root cause of strong oil/water emulsion and if sludge formation is occurring within the reservoir using a robust integrated approach.
In this work, a perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory equation of state has been developed to characterize heavy-oil-associated systems containing polar components and nonpolar components with respect to phase behavior and physical properties.
This paper aims to present thoroughly the application of subsurface safety injection valves in extremely high-temperature environments.

In this paper, the effect of cold-water injection on pressure transient analysis (PTA) of geothermal reservoirs is studied by varying the temperature of the injected cold water from room temperature to reservoir temperature. -
The authors of this paper present an advanced dual-porosity, dual-permeability (A-DPDK) work flow that leverages benefits of discrete fracture and DPDK modeling approaches.
-
The authors of this paper present a machine-learning-based solution that predicts pertinent gas-injection studies from known fluid properties such as fluid composition and black-oil properties.

These papers underscore the industry’s shift toward more efficient practices, each contributing a crucial piece to the larger puzzle of EOR.
-
This paper presents a novel sustainable cost-effective method developed to scale up synthesis of Janus carbon nanoparticles from waste plastic feedstock by combined pyrolysis, chemical functionalization, and pulverization.

This paper presents a systematic review of the largest alkaline-surfactant-polymer flood project in the world, applied to the largest oil field in China.
-
In this paper, the authors evaluate the simultaneous optimization of CO2 storage and oil recovery using multiple injection strategies.

Oil is the bedrock on which modern society is built. The primary question remains: How can we continue to produce oil while minimizing its climate-harming byproducts? Thanks to the ingenuity of industry professionals around the world, new technologies are emerging that allow us to achieve this goal.
