... of the largest oil producer in the US suggests that it’s making progress on its goal to double the oft-cited and oft-derided 10% recovery factor of shale resource plays. What Woods clued the outside world into is ExxonMobil’s optimism around drilling extra-long horizontal wells (17,500-ft laterals vs. the more...

... buildup structure at 3850 m subsea. Tengiz produced oil has a specific gravity of 47 °API with approximately 13% of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and 3% CO 2 in produced gas. At initial reservoir conditions, the GOR was 2,242 scf/STB and oil viscosity was 0.22 cp. At the time of writing, the production...

...Blake Wright In the oil-rich Permian Basin of west Texas and southern New Mexico, water serves as catalyst and crutch, ally and enemy, asset and liability. It’s water that allows producers to fracture high-potential wells in the region and get robust volumes of oil to flow back to the wellhead...

However, the original UDWI concept was challenged early in development when the following geological surprises were encountered during drilling of the initial development wells: - The structure was significantly higher than...

The quantity of oil produced is estimated at 15,000 STB/D, which will require a separator that has the capacity of holding a liquid rate of approximately 20,000 STB/D. The authors find that this developmental plan is cost-effective. Introduction Field X...
