Reservoir
Operators aren’t rushing to drill, even as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz drives oil prices up.
The paper describes the revalidation of a deepwater prospect that resulted in a no-drill decision.
The authors write that deployment of artificial-intelligence-based high-gas/oil ratio well-control technology enabled stabilization of well performance and maintenance of optimal production conditions.

The implementation of chemical EOR has proven successful but the method faces significant technical and financial challenges. -
Significant progress in cost reduction has been made in the industry following the price downturn, not only in the direct cost of construction and operations but also through a determined drive to simplify and streamline new projects in concepts selected for facilities and wells.
-
There is increasing interest in drilling the Austin Chalk formation, with hopes that the latest unconventional development methods can deliver a boom in a play that has seen several over a 90-year history.
-
This paper presents a critical review of the recent literature to determine the status of research and development and field application of nanotechnology in the oil field.
-
This paper will describe how one integrates a comprehensive methodology of data-mining techniques and artificial neural networks (ANNs) in reservoir-petrophysical-properties prediction and regeneration.

Three major finds have shattered assumptions about what is possible in the most explored parts of Alaska’s North Slope.
-
A fast, integrated reservoir modeling tool used by Eni at Norway’s Goliat field generated an ensemble of models that helped confirm the location of previously identified infill drilling targets and identify several new infill locations.
-
We report a novel type of viscosity modifier relying on the supramolecular assemblies that have pH-adjustable viscosities and robust tolerance against high temperatures and salinities, and are resistant to shear-induced degradation.
-
Technology that allows researchers to see stress forming inside rock samples may help unravel some of the mysteries associated with fracture behavior.

Getting a good well for a field test can make or break a new idea. A government backed research group in Saskatchewan is offering up to CAD 100,000 break on royalty payments to test ways to extend the life of conventional, heavy-oil fields.
