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.
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.

This paper discusses a prescriptive analytics framework to optimize completions in the Permian Basin. -
An ultrahigh-density high-resolution data set from the Hammerfest Basin is now available from PGS. The area is thought to contain around half of the undiscovered resources on the Norwegian continental shelf, according to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.

SponsoredDeveloping a reservoir with current capex constraints requires innovative technology to provide reliable reservoir production insight. This article describes how chemical tracer technologies can be integrated into reservoir development plans to reduce risk, minimize capex, and maximize ROI.
