This article from the SPE Integrated Reservoir Management Technical Section (IRMTS) addresses decisions that look stronger than they are and take longer to implement than the reservoir can afford.
This paper discusses waterflooding and field-development implications of subsea seawater treatment for improved oil recovery.
This paper presents an engineering solution tailored for shallow-water oilfield development in Bohai Bay, addressing the confluence of spatial constraints, marginal economics, and environmental conditions that have rendered such reserves stranded.

For those with an oil company to sell, an oil price of $100/bbl is not what it used to be. -
Using CO2 as the geothermal power fluid to generate electricity from low-temperature abandoned hydrocarbon wells can help reduce well costs and optimize energy production. In this paper, a previously developed coupled well/reservoir model is extended to study the effects of fluid properties on thermal output.

Nations coming together with common interests and approaches to energy is a hallmark of the modern times. Nations in South America and the Caribbean are also joining the trend via strategic energy alliances as disclosed by the presidents of Guyana and Suriname at a recent conference in Suriname, Paramaribo.

New Fortress Energy again taps the engineering giant for one of its modular LNG plants, this one using fixed platforms.
-
The supplemental environmental impact statement offers multiple ways forward for the stalled project.
-
QatarEnergy has selected Shell as its fifth and final international partner on the expansion project.

As the world tries to shift to renewable energy, the war in Ukraine has underscored the struggle for the minerals and metals required. The conflict illustrates that nations that pursue net-zero strategies will have to contend and account for “greenwalls,” energy-transition deterrents created by crises or geopolitical events.
