Unwanted water production can erode well performance and asset economics if left unmanaged. Interwell’s precision water shutoff approach, grounded in diagnostics and engineered isolation, helps operators identify water-entry points, protect hydrocarbon flow, and restore sustainable well performance in mature and complex wells.
More than 150 researchers will work on the Libra Rocks project, which aims to unlock insights that could improve recovery and reservoir management in one of Brazil’s largest offshore oil fields.

Enhanced oil recovery processes, particularly offshore, create challenges for produced water treatment. This option reviews technology options and current applications. -
This paper describes an all-in-one system that combines nodal-analysis and numerical-simulation models to calculate the effect of intelligent-completion components—such as swell packers, internal control valves, and inflow-control devices—on lateral production profiles.

The Kitan oil field consists of three subsea intelligent wells. The intelligent completions were modeled in detail using commercial dynamic-simulation software to establish a sound and safe operating procedure for the well cleanup and well test.

Drilling, completing, and fracturing of unconventional-formation wells in North America have become commonplace for producing natural gas. It is less common to drill, complete, and fracture treat multiple lateral branches from a single main wellbore.
-
A test-case study (Norne E-segment), based on field data of an offshore Norway brownfield, was organized to evaluate and compare mathematical methods for history matching and strategies for optimal production or enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
-
A nonlinear orthogonal-matching pursuit (NOMP) for sparse calibration of reservoir models has been proposed. Sparse calibration is a challenging problem because the unknowns are the nonzero components of the solution and their associated weights.
-
Reservoir simulation is essential in the decision-making process for the development and management of petroleum reservoirs. A simulation model can predict the reservoir behavior under various operating conditions.
-
Changing the salinity of injection water could make the difference in getting more out of existing wells.
-
Using low-sal water for flood can add 30% to the amount of oil that can be recovered from a reservoir. What is the theory behind it?
-
A recent webinar discussed current technologies to enable reuse of produced water in gas and oil shale developments.
