Production
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 work introduces an analytical model for nonisothermal CO2 injection that accounts for both Joule-Thomson cooling and interformation heat exchange.
This guest editorial examines how the most commonly used and cited methane emissions metric can create a misleading picture of upstream gas-handling performance for both the public and industry professionals.
