Reservoir
This case study presents the first field deployment of acoustic fracturing analysis to evaluate perforation efficiency and implement real-time interventions during pressure pumping.
As several commercial-scale projects are gearing up in the US, developers expect the next few years to reveal whether lithium extraction from brines can become a big business.
This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
