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.

The authors demonstrate how artificial intelligence and machine learning can help build a purely data-driven reservoir simulation model that successfully history matches dynamic variables for wells in a complex offshore field and that can be used for production forecasting. -
The implementation of fishbone stimulation helped to more than double estimated well productivity and tripled the production rate in a tight carbonate reservoir well compared with conventional stimulation during initial testing.
-
When fracturing, simply shooting all the perforations at the same spot in the casing can offer increased production at a low cost.
-
The paper describes an end-to-end deep surrogate model capable of modeling field and individual-well production rates given arbitrary sequences of actions.
-
The latest success for the ExxonMobil-led consortium is also adding drillships to support a 15-well campaign in the Stabroek Block.
-
The all-stock transaction is expected to bolster the newly created operator's production profile to around 160,000 BOE/D.
-
Finding creative ways to drive down the CAPEX and discounted OPEX and define a realistic pathway and schedule to full-scale commercial operations is discussed.
-
Oil isn’t going away, but that misses the fact that a demand plateau will structurally change the industry for people and companies in the most geologically mature areas, especially the United States.
-
Operator will use polymerized water into reservoir to boost oil and gas recovery.
-
The paper evaluates the effect of different injection methods on oil recovery and CO2 storage potential in a depleted sandstone reservoir in the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
