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.

The deal adds over 1,000 potential drilling locations and almost doubles oil production for Houston-based Magnolia.
-
Average output reached 13.6 million BOPD, extending a period of sustained growth that has kept the US at the forefront of global oil production.
-
A report commissioned by Havtil, the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority, calls for better dialogue regarding pore-pressure uncertainty and higher-end drilling techniques like managed pressure drilling as methods to reduce the risk of well-control events.
-
The events will be co-located 3–5 May 2027 at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.

This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
-
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
-
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.
