Abstract Central element of MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas Plc. (MOL) US strategy is to increase the hydrocarbon production at Hungarian oil and gas fields using technologies that are more efficient. The main goals of this activity are to increase the recovery factor in fields depleted with extensive water ...
Abstract The goal of this work is to develop surfactant systems that can improve oil flow from shale wells after fracturing or re-fracturing. Surfactants can reduce oil-water interfacial tension and wettability of the shale, which in turn can improve water imbibition, increase oil relative permeability ...
Abstract The objective of this research was to develop a surfactant formulation for EOR in an oil-wet, high-salinity, fractured dolomite reservoir at ~100°C. A key requirement was achievement of interfacial tension (IFT) sufficiently low to spontaneously displace oil from the matrix by buoyancy. The ...
Abstract Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques involving surfactants such as surfactant floods, foam floods, and wettability alteration have been studied to recover remaining oil after primary and secondary floods. In these processes, a surfactant solution is injected to promote one (or more) of the ...
Abstract While synthetic polymer floods are being deployed in mild temperature and low salinity fields, many oilfields (harsh conditions) remain inaccessible due to performance limitations, and concentration requirements, which adversely affect project economics. Historically, biopolymers have been ...
Abstract This paper summarizes BP's Alaskan viscous oil resource appraisal strategy to de-risk viscous oil resource progression with a goal to improve recovery factor by 10%. A key to recovery improvement is application of improved oil recovery/enhanced oil recovery (IOR/EOR) methods. However, even ...
Plug-and-perf multizone fracturing remains a dominate completion method in the Haynesville shale. Removing the composite frac plugs (CFP) utilizing coiled tubing (CT) remains a challenging operation with increased risks due to extreme well environments. Operations completed using older, conventional ...
A high CO2 carbonate gas field offshore Sarawak, Malaysia is scheduled for development. Fines migration is typically not a serious formation damage mechanism in typical carbonate formation due to the absence ofmigratory authigenic clays. However, these reservoirs (subdivided in S3, S2, S1 formation) ...
Abstract Most carbonate reservoirs have fractures which have a detrimental effect on sweep efficiency during oil recovery. The objective of this research is to block the big fractures with polymeric particles and divert the injection fluid into the matrix for better sweep efficiency during CO2 floods. ...
Abstract During the low oil price period, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) embarked on an intensified approach to prioritize the production enhancement and idle well reactivation (PE/IWR) activities in its Malaysia operations. To monetize the remaining reserves from these 2,000 active and idle strings, ...
Abstract Oil recovery using Smart Water technology (SWF) can be maximized by optimizing the composition of injected water. Brine optimization is also believed to improve Polymer Flooding (PF) performance. The present study aims to assess and define the potential impact of combining Smart Water with ...
Abstract Injection of sea water (SW) into oil reservoirs for pressure maintenance or sweep can in some cases cause reservoir souring, sulphate scaling and formation damage. Change of injection water from SW to desulphated sea water (D-SW) may reduce these problems. The objective for the presented study ...
Abstract The Devonian Duvernay Formation in Alberta, characterized as a carbonate-siliceous source rock, is ramping up to be one of the largest and most prolific shale oil plays in Canada. In the southern part of the Duvernay Shale Basin (i.e. East Shale Basin), tight limestone beds are interbedded ...
The global acceptance of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development marked a new era in global development. Natural resources are essential for the attainment of most of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Why, how, when and where they are discovered, produced, consumed, recovered and re-consumed ...
Almost all industries consume energy for their operations, with the current climate change scenario companies need to achieve excellence in terms of energy efficiency through a proper Energy Management. The core business of the company is to produce Crude Oil &Associated Gas assisted by injecting ...
Abstract Currently, synthetic additives are widely used in drilling fluid, but these additives have hazards, such as, toxicity, difficult to degradation, leakage and volatilization caused great influence to wellsite environment. Environmentally friendly drilling fluid has been appeared around for decade. ...
Abstract Produced water chemical compositional data are collected from a carbonate reservoir which had been flooded by North Seawater for more than 20 years, so there is an opportunity to analyse the large amount of produced water data collected, understand the brine/brine and brine/rock interactions ...
Oman arguably has some of the best solar resources in the world. However, unlike growth in photovoltaic (PV) trends seen elsewhere, there has been very little penetration of PV or establishment of PV-related businesses, to date. Key reasons for this include: a market absence for solar demand largely ...
Abstract Formation of sulphate and carbonate scale is well understood within the hydrocarbon extraction industry with injection of incompatible water such as seawater into reservoir with significant concentration of barium, strontium and calcium. To overcome this challenge chemical inhibition has been ...
AbstractObjectives/Scope Organizational resilience is an enterprise's capability to respond rapidly to unforeseen challenges, even chaotic disruption. It is the ability to bounce back with speed and effectiveness. Much of the organizational resilience literature focuses on crisis management, specifically ...
