... Abstract To attain an optimum Field Development Plan (FDP) in hydrocarbon reservoirs, well placement can be a cumbersome task. A major reason for this is the lack of sweet spot identification systems to direct the process of placing wells in optimum locations. To optimize well placement...

... flooding technologies, polymer flooding has entered into industrialized applications stage in sandstone reservoirs. Polymer flooding has been applied in Daqing oilfield and 13% incremental oil recovery on average has been obtained over the past few decades. Polymer flooding has been also successfully...

In addition, the logistics, infrastructure...

... Abstract Unwanted water production is becoming a matter of much concern in oil industry. The existence of an aquifer in a reservoir with thin producing layers and also in the situations that producing mechanism is relied on water, this issue becomes more noticeable due to water coning...

... Abstract The reservoir conditions of ZYQ Ng3 at Gudao oilfield are characterized as high water cut, high recovery percent and severe heterogeneity. To counteract the challenging reservoir conditions, branched preformed particle gel (B-PPG) was designed and synthesized which has dual features...

... Abstract Unconventional gas may be characterized as a natural gas which cannot be produced and processed in a conventional manner. Often this relates to the reservoir type or the gas composition. Shale, tight or sour gas reservoirs are a prominent examples. Up to 10% of the world's gas...

... Abstract Resources of 800 TCF and 27 BBO estimated for unconventional shale reservoirs together with more than 50 TCF of gas associated with tight rocks have generated great expectation in Argentina. Actually, the country is very active in developing this type of reservoirs. The formations...

... industry has been using hydraulic fracturing to commercially produce low to moderate permeability gas reservoirs. A successful fracturing treatment to achieve improved and sustained well productivity requires strategic planning from the very onset of the field development that includes geological...

... a significant accumulation of oil reserves. The formation is found in the Williston Basin of North America which straddles the border between Canada and the United States. At a subsea depth of 3,020 feet (5,050 ft in true vertical depth), this tight-oil reservoir has a porosity of 9% to 12%, permeability less...

... Abstract Santos Basin Pre-Salt Cluster, Deepwater Southeast Brazil, is a unique scenario due to the heterogeneous nature of its microbial carbonate reservoir, underlain by 2,000 m salt layer and distant 300 km from the coast. Other characteristics for development are the variable CO2 content...
