Reservoir
In a study that applied alternative carbon carrier technology to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scenarios, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found that the new method recovered up to 19.5% more oil and stored up to 17.5% more carbon than conventional EOR methods.
This study assesses the advantages, constraints, and necessary enhancements of both passive and active electromagnetic techniques in the context of carbon capture and storage.
This paper presents a novel workflow with multiobjective optimization techniques to assess the integration of pressure-management methodologies for permanent geological carbon dioxide storage in saline aquifers.

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.

This paper presents a mathematical analysis of how incorrect estimates of initial reservoir pressure may affect rate-transient analysis in ultralow-permeability reservoirs.

As we continue to advance the capability in the laboratory environment to test downhole condition measurements experimentally, the tools we are using appear to be bridging the subsurface characterization with the production results. Continued focus on unconventionals is complemented with a renewed focus on conventional research as well.

The key element of hydraulic-fracture modeling is the prediction of the generated fracture geometries. Research conducted over the years has trickled down predictive software. Nevertheless, the ability to design optimal fracture treatments is hampered, as we cannot “see” the subsurface.

In this work, novel physics-based models and machine-learning models are presented and compared for estimating permanent-downhole-gauge measurements.

The paper describes a method to match reaction kinetics from coreflooding experiments.

For those with an oil company to sell, an oil price of $100/bbl is not what it used to be.
