Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This paper presents the methodology for developing drill-in organophilic clay-free invert-emulsion-fluid technology that enhances well production through fundamental geological studies and fluid testing.
This study presents applications involving the use of calcium carbonate particles for conformance improvement for CO2 water-alternating-gas injection in the operator’s Permian enhanced-oil-recovery projects.
This work presents a detailed laboratory-based evaluation integrated with field-pilot test results of a cyclic natural gas liquids-injection project in the Middle Bakken.

Part 3 of this series looks at the importance of performance analysis and how to generate the economic benefit for solving conformance or sweep efficiency problems. The economic elements of this review are very basic, but they will help you to determine a more-accurate understanding of the true economic benefit.

As the demand for energy continues to increase, so does the sociopolitical demand that these resources be produced in a sustainable way. This reflective thought has defined this month’s selection of technical papers, each speaking to a different facet of this feature’s theme: unconventional reservoir development for a sustainable energy transition.
