Reservoir
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 work presents an integrated multiphase flow model for downhole pressure predictions that produces relatively more-accurate downhole pressure predictions under wide flowing conditions while maintaining a simple form. -
This study describes a technique combining borehole acoustic reflection imaging with production logging in a horizontal well experiencing high water cut with the aim of enabling a mitigation plan.
-
The aim of this study is to address and discuss the reservoir engineering aspects of geological hydrogen storage.
-
The authors investigate the utility of applying unconventional technology to low- or variably producing carbonate reservoirs to increase estimated ultimate recovery and decrease development-scale variability.
-
The integration of artificial intelligence/machine learning with traditional workflows marks a turning point, unleashing the immense potential of these proven techniques to address our everyday challenges in reservoir simulation.
-
Unconventional reservoirs bear a unique perplexity in that, at every scale, they are different from their conventional counterparts and even one another. This month’s selection of papers is all about those differences.
-
The honor recognizes recipients for their lasting and significant contributions in the field of IOR.
-
By acquiring Eni’s two producing shallow-water assets, Hilcorp will become the largest offshore oil producer on Alaska’s North Slope.
-
The acquisition underscores the rapid rise of the unconventional oil play in northeastern Utah that producers claim offers better margins than the Permian Basin.
-
Pilots and papers are plentiful, but the shale sector has no big enhanced oil recovery projects to speak of. It may just have to stay that way for a while.
