Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Operators are turning to new gas lift and nanoparticle-fluid technologies to drive up production rates.
Optimization of water-alternating-gas (WAG) processes is critical for maximizing both oil recovery and carbon-sequestration efficiency in CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. Conventional optimization using simulation models can be cumbersome because of the vast design space and high uncertainty. In this study, a deep-learning model, the temporal fusion transform…
The $1.3-billion deal targets DJ Basin assets producing 35,000 BOEPD, and Japex aims to increase that output to 50,000 BOEPD around 2030.
