Coreflood experiments reveal that alkali significantly reduces viscosity loss in polyacrylamide flooding systems by minimizing adsorption and improving polymer stability under shear stress. The findings position viscosity retention as a key screening criterion for successful alkali-polymer enhanced-oil-recovery applications.
This SPE technical section editorial synthesizes six technical themes shaping CO2 transport and storage and interprets them through a petroleum engineering capability lens.
The UAE project is expected to produce up to 345 MMscf/D by 2029, with expansion potential to 1 Bcf/D.

This paper describes the implementation of a one-way wave equation in slowness domain outputting gathers up to Nyquist frequency, which can be used to generate high-resolution seismic sections and amplitude-vs.-offset studies.
-
This paper describes a novel 6.75-in. logging-while-drilling geochemical tool developed for accurate lithology, mineralogy, well-placement, and geosteering applications in complex reservoirs.

This paper presents a self-supervised approach for training a seismic foundation model and demonstrates scenarios in which it is used for seismic data conditioning, interpretation, and inversion through six real-use cases.
-
This paper provides an overview of an operator’s application of 4D time-lapse seismic technology over approximately a decade and includes future perspectives.
-
Seismic technology continues to progress at a remarkable pace, driven by advances in artificial intelligence, imaging, interpretation, monitoring, and the expansion of seismic applications across the wider energy sector. One clear trend is the industry’s move toward high-frequency and ultrahigh-resolution seismic, which has pushed the limits of what can be resolved in…
