Field examples from the Bakken Shale and Permian Basin illustrate the benefits of deploying polymer-coated and uncoated scale inhibitors in unconventional wells. -
Interfacial tension keeps oil and water separate by resisting the mixing of their molecules at the surface. Learn how industry experts measure this force to diagnose fluid behavior.
-
The SPE Reservoir Advisory Committee has updated its "state of the reservoir technical discipline" document. The new edition is available for free download.

The test marks a milestone in the Poseidon CCS project, which aims to store carbon dioxide in the depleted gas reservoir below the Leman development in the southern North Sea.
-
The company credited its theory of shale oil enrichment for the significant increase in the quantity of proven reserves at the field.
-
In this study, a deep-neural-network-based workflow with enhanced efficiency and scalability is developed for solving complex history-matching problems.
