This paper studies the effect of salinity and hardness on partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide rheology in sandstones with relevance to polymer flooding models and simulations.
The traditionally Oklahoma-centric producer adds new acreage in west Texas and New Mexico through a pair of purchases.
As Africa’s top oil producer, Libya is ramping up momentum—offering 22 exploration areas and welcoming BP back to Tripoli with a major deal.

This paper describes a novel distributed quasi-Newton derivative-free optimization method for reservoir-performance-optimization problems. -
A North Dakota Supreme Court decision changed the rules for leasing pore space from landowners and their rights to compensation. This decision and the US Inflation Reduction Act, which significantly increases tax incentives for operators’ carbon capture and storage projects, is likely to spur other states to clarify their laws regulating pore space.
-
The complete paper builds on existing tools in the literature to quantify the effect of changing well spacing on well productivity for a given completion design, using a new, simple, intuitive empirical equation.
-
This paper describes a development plan for an oil field discovered in a remote offshore environment in the Niger Delta that uses a probabilistic approach to estimate the STOOIP using low, mid, and high cases.
-
The authors of this paper describe a project that integrates carbonate stratigraphic forward models of outcropping formations and reservoir-modeling work flows.
-
SponsoredQuickly identify the right strategies for a well or pad to overcome operational challenges. Explore cost-effective, easy-to-use solutions that help operators achieve better production rates with less manpower.
-
The Oklahoma City-based tight-oil producer has agreed to acquire Validus Energy.
-
Devon, Shell, and SM Energy offer some of their latest learnings from recent independent subsurface diagnostics projects. Their work underscores why this arena of technology has become a cornerstone for hydraulic-fracture design in tight-rock reservoirs.
-
The paper describes the components of an all-electric system, how it fits within a subsea application, and how it compares with traditional electrohydraulic systems.
-
This paper presents a work flow that has been applied to crossdipole sonic data acquired in a vertical pilot well drilled in the Permian Basin.
