Reservoir
As Africa’s top oil producer, Libya is ramping up momentum—offering 22 exploration areas and welcoming BP back to Tripoli with a major deal.
This study aims to thoroughly assess the influence of various completions, fracturing stimulation, and intrinsic reservoir properties affecting the productivity of 10 major unconventional plays while uncovering insights and trends unique to each play
This paper introduces new methods to perform reliable permeability and saturation-dependent relative permeability measurements in organic-rich mudrock core samples using a pressure-decay setup.
-
The authors describe a casing-leak-repair alternative to allow continued hydraulic fracturing of an unconventional formation. -
The authors describe coiled tubing operations that used a riser on a monohulled vessel already performing riserless interventions.
-
The paper describes the development of an alkaline/surfactant/polymer formulation for the Mangala field in India, which involved more than 30 corefloods.
-
In this paper, a comparison is presented of the range of production outcomes for Clair Phase 1 and Clair Ridge, including the potential downsides of relying on natural fractures.
-
This paper presents a novel mathematical model for design and evaluation of fluoroboric acid treatments that takes into account the chemical kinetics and equilibrium aspects of important reactions and fluid flow inside the reservoir rock.

The rise in energy consumption and increasing demand for energy security worldwide warrants the need to increase global hydrocarbon production. Current circumstances dictate focusing on low-cost and low-carbon EOR barrels to secure energy supply in the shorter term while continuing to develop innovative technologies and strategies for enhancing production in the longe…

The first acid job dates to 1895. Challenges remain, however, when it comes to lithology, coverage, penetration, and management of reaction products. These themes remain a focus for stimulation engineers.
-
In Part 2 of a series of articles, the author focuses on generating a connection between the problem types and various methods of trying to solve these problems.
