Having a high water cut reduces the economic viability of oil production. Water production
increases, as less-viscous water tends to flow through high-permeability zones, leaving …

Excess water production is a common problem in mature and hydrocarbon rate declining oil
and gas fields. Increased water production rates reduce oil and gas production, increase the …

The goal of this work is to screen and evaluate laboratory mixtures of existing commercial,
environmentally friendly sodium silicate chemicals that can be used for water management …

Geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a means of reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. Key to the successful implementation of this technology is the ability to prevent …

Most mature reservoirs in China are facing severe conformance problems causing
excessive water production, high water cuts, and low recovery factors due to the severe …

L-Ⅲ reservoir belongs to Weizhou 11–1 Oilfield in South China. The reservoir temperature is
high, about 140° C. In addition, the distance between oil well and water well is large and the …

We present a novel advanced EOR screening approach, adding to an existing technical
screening toolkit powerful new practical discriminators based on:(1) Operational complexity …

Carbon capture and storage is a key technology to abate CO2 emissions. One of the
challenges towards ensuring the efficiency and the security of CO2 storage in reservoirs …

Silicate gels have been used in the oil industry mainly for near-well treatments to combat
unwanted water production. This technology could be used for mitigating unwanted …

Monitoring of a well and the surrounding reservoir performances is a crucial component in
evaluating on-going and planning future well and field operations. This is carried out at all …
