Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Operators are turning to new gas-lift and nanoparticle-fluid technologies to drive up production rates.
The authors of this paper apply a deep-learning model for multivariate forecasting of oil production and carbon-dioxide-sequestration efficiency across a range of water-alternating-gas scenarios using field data from six legacy carbon-dioxide enhanced-oil-recovery projects.
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.
