The world produces vast volumes of carbon dioxide, and CO₂-EOR is one of the best-established techniques for increasing oil production. Despite this, its use remains limited because of economic, logistical, and operational challenges.
-
This paper presents a case study from a mature field redevelopment project where pulsed neutron logging was integrated with advanced reservoir modeling to improve the understanding of fluid-contact dynamics and optimize new horizontal well placement.
-
This paper illustrates a case study from a greenfield oil development in Sarawak that is planned for a fit-for-purpose development scope to create value and develop oil resources in a phased manner within 4 years of project framing.
-
The papers selected for this year’s feature collectively highlight the ongoing transformation of field-development planning across the oil and gas industry. A common theme among these papers is the integration of subsurface, drilling, facilities, and operational workflows into unified development frameworks.
-
This paper aims to optimize well trajectories in offshore reservoir development by applying a Pareto-based multiobjective approach.
-
This paper presents a reduced physics-based model that accelerates the ability to screen infill-location optimization, using the fast marching method to maximize production for a reservoir with multiple realizations.
-
This article from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section offers new insights to how the upstream industry can benefit from the emergence of quantum computing.
-
With a strong presence across US shale in the Bakken, Anadarko Basin, Powder River Basin, and the Permian, Continental Resources is expanding into Argentina’s Vaca Muerta shale as the privately held E&P giant pursues international growth.
-
Equinor, Aker BP, and Vår Energi will combine resources and expertise to pursue some of the largest remaining exploration opportunities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
