... Abstract Over the last 20 years many biotechnologies have been proven as a viable means to mitigate the impact of the fossil fuel industry. Recent advances in research have lead to the development and field implementation of innovative treatment technologies such as bioventing, bioslurping...

.... Recognizing the increased focus (internationally and domestically) on quality assurance, quality control, continuous improvement and service product standardization Canadian Fracmaster Ltd. has undertaken to implement and registrar in the IS0-9000 program. At the mid-point of1996 it was decided to include...

... Abstract The implementation is given for an efficient streamline method that is regularly employed where minimal modeling effort is desired or where the problem is not practical for traditional finite-difference simulation. Two streamline methods are described with full details given for one...

... of the project are to characterize the Cypress Sandstone through an integrated geologic and engineering approach; to identify facies-defined waterflood subunits: to design and implement an enhanced oil recovery program utilizing CO 2 ; and to transfer technology to oil and gas operators. Although results from...

... reserves, a single well gas flood was implemented to maximize the oil recovery and, at the same time, to minimize the capital investment. However, it is well known that this type of flood is risky, often with premature injected gas breakthrough at the producing interval causing extremely poor or even...

... Abstract Many organizations which have implemented Total Quality Management (TQM) are finding that the process has either stalled or is not working as well as originally envisioned. This can be particularly evident in an engineering environment where the uniqueness of engineers...

... information identifies critical in situ processes; second, such data validates assumptions made under conditions of extreme uncertainty; third, monitoring data can be used to control in situ processes. This paper reviews available methods, implementation, nature and precision of the data expected from...

... Abstract Production logs play a significant role in the implementation, evaluation and surveillance of enhanced recovery schemes. Maximizing scheme efficiency through the refinement of depletion strategies, improvements on completion effectiveness, and problem well diagnosis is based...

... immediate implementation of a full-scale recovery project. Therefore, a field pilot test was planned and a pilot location was chosen to be in a prolific part of the West willmar field. Pilot Characteristics The pilot site is 15 ha in area and surrounded by four existing producing wells as shown...

... fourfold since the system was first implemented. Due to the large volume of data which required annual review, we became concerned both from a manpower and technical viewpoint with our procedure of assessing reserves. We could not expeditiously enter new data or update existing information as it became...

... Abstract This paper highlights an integrated scheme of engineering studies implemented in the Heyburn Field since January, 1970 to optimize injection and production operations. The field was discovered in 1955 and waterflood operations initiated in 1964. To minimize declining oil production...
