Enhanced recovery
This paper introduces a novel steam-sensitive flow-control device designed to restrict the production of steam and low-subcool liquids while allowing higher mobility of oil-phase fluids.
This paper describes the operator’s initiative to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and recover additional hydrocarbon, monetizing it as sales gas, by integrating upstream and downstream gas facilities in a unified approach.
This study integrates laboratory testing with reservoir simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of autonomous inflow-control valves in managing late-life steam-assisted gravity-drainage production challenges.

This paper outlines the importance of numerical rate transient analysis for dry gas wells, describing a simple, fully penetrating planar fracture model. -
This paper describes a data-driven approach for liquid-loading detection and prediction that harnesses high-frequency gas-rate and tubinghead-pressure measurements to identify the onset of liquid loading and correct critical rates computed by empirical methods.
-
This paper highlights an approach of using active hydrogen to stimulate hard-to-recover formations from candidate-well selection through pilot execution and evaluation.
-
The authors investigate the utility of applying unconventional technology to low- or variably producing carbonate reservoirs to increase estimated ultimate recovery and decrease development-scale variability.

By acquiring Eni’s two producing shallow-water assets, Hilcorp will become the largest offshore oil producer on Alaska’s North Slope.
-
Pilots and papers are plentiful, but the shale sector has no big enhanced oil recovery projects to speak of. It may just have to stay that way for a while.
-
This study proposes a hybrid model that combines the capacitance/resistance model, a machine-learning model, and an oil model to assess and optimize water-alternating-gas (WAG) injectors in a carbonate field.
-
This paper describes a hydraulic fracturing pilot project using a technique that generates higher fracture conductivity to reduce the drawdown during production and improve connection through laminations.

This paper presents a case study of a North African oil field producing from two Ordovician sands with differing permeabilities where significant benefit was achieved by fracture stimulating one or both intervals in two wells.
