The US Department of Energy and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will convert a horizontal Utica Shale gas well into an enhanced geothermal system. Building directly on horizontal drilling and completion practices developed in the Utica, the project will include evaluation of optimal well orientation, lateral placement, and spacing.
An asset swap with PDVSA helps consolidate the supermajor’s heavy-oil operations in the country.
Co-owner Chevron confirmed the find at the Bandit prospect offshore Louisiana and suggested it may become a subsea tieback to existing faciltiies operated by Occidental Petroleum.

Finding creative ways to drive down the CAPEX and discounted OPEX and define a realistic pathway and schedule to full-scale commercial operations is discussed.
-
Oil isn’t going away, but that misses the fact that a demand plateau will structurally change the industry for people and companies in the most geologically mature areas, especially the United States.

The paper evaluates the effect of different injection methods on oil recovery and CO2 storage potential in a depleted sandstone reservoir in the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
-
Our industry has been the custodian of subterranean reservoirs. We are the experts in managing and developing them. Why not use that expertise to find solutions for climate change by capturing and removing carbon and being part of the solution?
-
Case studies demonstrate how an autonomous outflow-control device prevents growth and excessive fluid injection into thief/fracture zones and maintains a balanced or prescribed injection distribution.
-
This paper presents recent results from a rigorous pilot-scale demonstration of natural-gas foam over a range of operating scenarios relevant to surface and bottomhole conditions with a variety of base-fluid mixtures.
