... as a resource and the reduction in maintenance expenses associated with fuel burning, flare tip replacements, and general maintenance. By converting the continuous flares to maintenance flares, routine flaring was effectively eliminated, achieving zero routine flaring status. The study also emphasized...

... reducers are anionic and cationic HVFRs. Anionic HVFRs are typically pumped with freshwater, while cationic HVFRs are used with high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) produced water. Cationic friction reducers are believed to have better TDS tolerance, friction reduction performance, and proppant transport...

... on a sandstone surface for wettability change. The results showed the novel green additive provided strong inhibition to clays. The reduction in linear swelling and rise in capillary suction time showed the inhibition potential and water control potential of the biomaterial. Furthermore, mechanical properties...

... relative to adsorbed gas and the geomechanical factors were analyzed and geomechanical multipliers were generated and incorporated in the model. The geomechanical multipliers account for the impairments in hydraulic fracture conductivity and the reduction in the formation (matrix and fissure) permeability...

In the first attempt, the dominant parameters, including urea reaction kinetics, the stoichiometry of the decomposition process, the oil swelling effect, and the impact of IFT reduction on the relative...

... in branch lines that contributed to large slugging events. The optimization resulted in a reduction in labor costs for managing slugging issues such as compressor shutdowns and flooding the inlet separator as slugging events became smaller and less frequent. It also resulted in a sustained production...

.... This technology focuses on creating the most stimulated fracture surface area per volume of water injected, resulting in the same fracture surface area but with a large reduction in water injected. The reduction of the water leads to an improved well productivity index by minimizing water blockage around...

... Abstract Scale deposition is a common problem during oil production resulting in equipment corrosion, wellbore plugging, and production rate reduction. In unconventional reservoirs, the negative effect of scale formation and deposition becomes more pronounced as it severely damages...

... concentration of airborne respirable silica exceeds the permissible exposure limit by 20 times or more. This chemically inert technology can be applied by simply spraying the coating onto fracturing sand at concentrations as low as 0.05% by weight of proppant, with a reduction of 90% v/v of airborne dust...

... concentrations, no more improvements were obtained. Further, the results show the ability of nanosilica and nanotitanium to reduce the filtration volume and no filtration reduction based on nanoaluminum. However, all the nanoparticles enhance the mudcake structure, but differently, and prevent the spurt water...

... of water usage reduction and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. This has been done in cyclic steam stimulation (CSS), steamflooding, and steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). The range of success in these instances is highly variable. Additional oil/bitumen recovery is claimed in most cases...

... in instantaneous shut-in pressures (ISIP) before versus after the pill and overlays of treating pressure before and after the pill were also analyzed as metrics of diversion success, and it was found that 81% of test intervals met the success criteria for ΔISIP. Step-down tests indicated a reduction...

... Abstract Friction reducers (FRs) are crucial components in any slickwater fracturing fluid. Revising the previous literature showed that the majority of research focused on evaluating the friction-reduction performance of these chemicals. Another important aspect, which a few studies addressed...

... maintaining the desired concentration of HGS. Drilling mud density was reduced, as expected, and mud loss was minimized as a result. Overall costs were reduced because of less invert emulsion fluid loss, a reduction in the amount of lost-circulation material mixed compared to previous wells in the area...
