Reservoir
Operators are turning to new gas-lift and nanoparticle-fluid technologies to drive up production rates.
This paper addresses the difficulty in adjusting late-stage production in waterflooded reservoirs and proposes an integrated well-network-design mode for carbon-dioxide enhanced oil recovery and storage.
This work presents the development of fast predictive models and optimization methodologies to evaluate the potential of carbon-dioxide EOR and storage operations quickly in mature oil fields.
