A key parameter in tracing tests is the selection of the molecules used as water tracers.
Many previous tests have failed because of improper selection of these molecules. To …

Reservoir monitoring is one of the key factors in the management of oil and gas resources.
In particular, the evaluation of the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method through reservoir …

The application of interwell tracer tests is becoming increasingly important to the petroleum
industry. Interwell tracer tests, as a proven and efficient tool, have been used to investigate …

The article substantiates the conditions for effective water and gas impact on productive
formations of the Upper Jurassic and Achimov deposits of the Vyintoy oil field: for the UJ …

Gelled polymer treatments applied in injection and production wells are used to alter fluid
flow in oil reservoirs so that oil production is increased and water production is decreased. A …

We are developing new classes of barcoded advanced tracers, which, compared to present
commercial offerings, can be optically detected in an automated fashion. The eventual goal …

Abstract Cyclic Water Injection (CWI) has been proposed as a technique to improve water
sweep in stratified and fractured reservoirs. This recovery process takes advantage of the …

Abstract Enhanced Oil Recovery pilot testing aims at reducing uncertainty ranges for
parameters and determining operating conditions which improve the economics of full-field …

Currently, the use of gas methods to increase oil recovery is underexplored. However, the
experience of applying these methods, both in Russia and abroad, indicates their high …

This paper presents an in depth study for a field-wide application of Maximum Reservoir
Contact (MRC) wells along with smart well completions complemented by openhole …
