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.
Casing deformation has emerged as a major challenge in China’s unconventional oil and gas fields, prompting the development of new solutions to address the issue.

This paper details new technologies and work flows implemented for Australian offshore wells to improve drilling efficiency while managing associated risks. -
The paper demonstrates the application of an interpretable machine-learning work flow using surface drilling data to identify fracable, brittle, and productive rock intervals along horizontal laterals in the Marcellus shale.

E&P independent Energean has awarded Halliburton a contract to provide services for drilling up to five wells offshore Israel in collaboration with Stena Drilling.

New case studies from this year's Offshore Europe were a reminder of how sustaining subsea reservoirs as they age often calls for determined and innovative engineers.
-
The obsession with better hydraulic fracturing has steadily pushed on shale production in year one, but the decline remains steep. Chemistry could help explain, and perhaps extend, the short productive life of these wells.

Traditionally, wireline or logging-while-drilling formation-testing technology has been the most accepted means of reservoir fluid characterization. But when those fluids are contaminated by mud filtrate, acoustic data can be used for fluid characterization during downhole sampling to successfully track and quantify small changes in oil compressibility.

This paper discusses the field implementation of a downhole chemical methodology that has positively affected overall productivity for a mature Kuwait field.

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of two modeling-based approaches of fluid tracking for condensate allocation and gas usage.

This paper describes a technique used to derive stresses for a gas-storage field and then calibrate the 1D mechanical earth model of the field.
