The biggest sand haul ever reported by service provider Enercorp is a reminder that proppant flowback is a mounting challenge for shale producers. -
A big jump in the tax incentives offered for putting CO2 in the ground, hopefully forever, has set off a mad rush to sequester CO2. But is that really the best option?

To evaluate performance of a range of blended inhibitors, a trial was run on a North Sea produced water system which was applying monoethanolamine (MEA) phosphonate-type scale inhibitor as well as novel cleaning programs to counter a high carbonate saturation ratio in the heater. The objective was to find an improved scale inhibitor formulation that would outperform M…

The framework and success of future opportunities is reliant on the data used to quantify them, and this is something of which all mature fields have plenty. As they have delivered value throughout their life, the uncertainty associated with them reduces, and the new ideas discussed here come to light.
