Oilfield chemistry
This article is the second of a two-part series on produced-water management in the Gulf of Mexico and covers four themes: equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality.
Field examples of operators using chemical restimulation to boost production in aging unconventional wells as an alternative to acid treatments.
This work investigates a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to acidification for sheen control.
