INEOS Energy and Shell have partnered to invest in Gulf of Mexico exploration, while Eni reported strong productivity from its Geliga 1 discovery in Indonesia. Santos is advancing its Agogo project in Papua New Guinea, and ConocoPhillips received approval to redevelop several previously producing oil fields in Norway’s Greater Ekofisk Area.
This paper details a new enhanced oil recovery method piloted successfully by several operators in the Bakken and recently implemented in the Midland play of the Permian Basin.
New insights from Chevron, Occidental Petroleum, and others at the SPE Improved Oil Recovery Conference highlight the different paths companies are using to squeeze more out of tight rocks.

The Mexican state oil company turns to the bit in a bid to add meaningful reserves from the deep Mexican Gulf. -
This paper explains how an operator’s projects in the Vaca Muerta have become more-efficient and cost-effective by increasing production and reducing well-delivery-cycle time while fostering the long-term sustainability of the project.

This paper describes the potential, challenges, and opportunities of using a modified steam-assisted gravity drainage configuration in the Mukhaizna heavy oil field in suboptimal operating conditions.
-
This paper describes the implementation of a hybrid technology of cyclic steam stimulation and foam into the heavy oil field development plans of the Middle Magdalena Valley basin in Colombia.
-
This paper’s focus is a case study of an Eagle Ford refracturing project in which a range of completion designs were trialed with an approach using offset sealed wellbore pressure monitoring and fiber-optic strain.
