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.
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.
The US supermajor is using one of its lowest-value hydrocarbon products to generate double-digit production increases in its most prolific US asset.

Using validated models, the authors provide a comparative analysis to determine the advantages of using natural gas foams relative to conventionally used slickwater, linear gel, and crosslinked fluid. -
A lot has been learned about shale, but those working to eke out oil from that ultratight rock still extract more value from data than physics.
-
Physics-based simulations plus machine-learning exercises are yielding a more comprehensive look at production volumes from unconventional assets.
-
Shale producers have learned in recent years that their fracture plugs may not be holding up as well as they thought. One of the first operators to realize the true scope of the issue is now sharing the pathway it took to solving it.

The acquisition adds 2 or 3 years to Enerplus Corporation's development inventory, it said of the cash deal that follows its purchase of Bruin E&P earlier this year.
-
Asian markets continue to represent the leading edge of global economic growth, and with many of the international oil companies divested from the region, Southeast Asian operators in particular see themselves well positioned for the future.
