Enhanced recovery
This paper discusses the effect of injected-polymer viscosity on various aspects of a project, from recovery to surface facilities, including both theoretical arguments and practical field experience—which do not always align.
This study leverages oil-fingerprinting technology and geochemical data to evaluate the fluid connectivity between a main field and its stepout wells.
This paper provides details of a pilot study conducted on multiple wells, showcasing the potential of a novel biotechnology in Bakken enhanced oil recovery.

The long, successful history of various metallurgies in EOR wells has been cited as sufficient to allow the same completions for CCS injection wells. The lack of actual data on the long-term performance of these alloys in EOR wells in combination with the more-stringent requirements for Class VI wells suggests otherwise. -
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.
