Reservoir
Operators aren’t rushing to drill, even as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz drives oil prices up.
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 paper describes the revalidation of a deepwater prospect that resulted in a no-drill decision.

To increase the production of a heavy-oil reservoir offshore Congo, a study of DHEH applications has been carried out with encouraging results. -
Work conducted in the Surmont field of Alberta, Canada, provided an excellent starting point to optimize flow-control improvements to the SAGD process.

Research into whether CO2 can be used to coax billions more barrels of oil from unconventional formations is beginning to show promise.
-
Tests showing increased recoveries in the Bakken formation using CO2 could have significant implications for the upstream oil and gas industry.
-
Tight gas reservoirs and shale gas reservoirs are economically viable hydrocarbon prospects that have proved to be successful in North America.

This is the most exciting time for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in recent memory. At last, almost everyone is talking about increasing recovery factors, and improved oil recovery (IOR) and EOR are being considered natural components of reservoir management.
