The Texas Railroad Commission has tightened its guidelines on the permitting of disposal wells in the Permian Basin.
The company’s new Retina imaging system creates high-resolution borehole images at the drill bit.
This study combines preshear degradation, permeability, and oil presence effects to evaluate and improve polymer injectivity using acrylamido tertiary butyl sulfonate (ATBS) polymer in carbonate rock.

This paper describes a polymer-injection pilot in the Chichimene heavy oil field in Colombia.
-
This paper describes a project in the heavy oil Captain field in the UK sector of the North Sea in which reduced environmental impact dovetails with improved economics.
-
This paper presents a specialized workflow that aims to quantify the severity of condensate banking and subsequently optimize reservoir development strategies for a deep formation in the Permian Basin.
-
This paper describes numerical modeling studies of fracture-driven interactions using a coupled hydraulic-fracturing-propagation, reservoir-flow, and geomechanics tool.
-
A proposed integrated workflow aims to guide prediction and mitigating solutions to reduce casing-deformation risks and improve stimulation efficiency.
-
International agreements and national policies on environmental sustainability are changing the outlook for enhanced oil recovery globally. These changes are highlighted by both monetary and intellectual commitments by oil companies around the world.
-
This study investigates hydrate formation in a water-alternating-gas injection well under water-to-gas and gas-to-water changeover operations.
-
This case study outlines a methodology to optimize and control hydraulic fracturing parameters by achieving 100% cluster efficiency and overcoming formation leak-off.
