... or disposed of through various methods. A major question remains of whether to process the fluids at the surface on an FPSO or on a drilling or completion rig. FPSO cleanup presents advantages such as reduced total cost of ownership, easier fluid disposal facilities, recovery of liquid hydrocarbons...

... of water and hydrocarbon after an HF stimulation together with the complex transport mechanisms in shale nanopores exacerbate the nonlinearity of the transport equation, causing errors in type-curve analysis. Accordingly, we propose a new two-phase type-curve method to estimate HF properties, such as HF...

... by elevated downhole temperatures. While these technologies have matured over the last decade into readily available and economic offerings, our industry has lacked significant progress in materials which dissolve in hydrocarbons, while remaining unaffected by aqueous fluids. Motivated to bridge...

... of the energy industry's QI work was performed to support the exploration for hydrocarbons, the cost-effective hydrocarbon resource development, and hydrocarbon production monitoring. In recognition of the role hydrocarbon related CO 2 emissions play with accelerating global warming, the energy industry...

... Abstract Current offshore hydrocarbon detection methods employ vessels to collect cores along transects over structures defined by seismic imaging which are then analyzed by standard geochemical methods. Due to the cost of core collection, the sample density over these structures is often...

The DRA designed for this application was created specifically for the subsea applications, particularly multiphase applications located in environmentally sensitive areas. us government key technology qualification subsea...

... characterization, allowing to determine prospective intervals in a timely manner as a key task. The information from the lithological description was integrated into the geochemical profiles, where intervals of interest are related to hydrocarbon impregnations, fluorescence and visual porosity of each one...

...Introduction Produced water is always an inevitable byproduct of an oil and gas recovery process and is most often injected back to underground. Water injection is widely used across the oil and gas industry as a means of pressure maintenance for improving recovery of hydrocarbons ( Rochon et...
