The most common fallacy in the quest for the optimum stimulation treatment in shale plays
across the country is to treat them all just like the Barnett Shale. There is no doubt that the …

An emerging method to increase the recovery of oil from subsurface reservoirs is the
application of measurement and control techniques to better control the multiphase flow in …

This is a noncritical survey of key literature in the field of real-time production optimization of
oil and gas production. The information flow used for optimization of the system is described …

A novel correlation identifying inefficient drilling conditions is presented using experimental
and field data. Historically, Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE) has been used to improve the …

Well architecture advances from conventional wells to horizontal. Then multilateral wells,
which have maximized reservoir contact, have been paralleled by advances in completion …

This paper studies closed-loop reservoir management (CLRM) from a control perspective.
The purpose is to provide new insight to develop further the concept of CLRM. First …

Abstract Water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection is a well known enhanced-oil-recovery
(EOR) method in the oil industry. In a previously published paper, we concluded that the …

Focusing on vertical multi-layer superimposition of unconventional natural gas reservoirs in
coal-bearing strata, research on the co-production of tight gas and coalbed methane from a …

In the development of naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs), the existence of natural fractures
induces severe fingering and breakthrough. To manage the flooding process and improve …

Gas resources play a key role in nowadays energy supply and provide 24% of the diverse
energy portfolio. Water encroachment is one of the main trapping mechanisms in gas …
