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.

SponsoredThe Wyoming Gas Injection Initiative (WGII) makes available $22 million of matching funds from the State of Wyoming to implement, in close collaboration with oil and gas operators and Dow, multiple field pilot projects in the State of Wyoming. The Initiative will fund projects over a 3- to 5-year period to support developments with significant potential to enhance wel…

Part 3 of this series looks at the importance of performance analysis and how to generate the economic benefit for solving conformance or sweep efficiency problems. The economic elements of this review are very basic, but they will help you to determine a more-accurate understanding of the true economic benefit.
