The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is the most active deepwater region in the world and provides some of the greatest challenges in scope and opportunity for the oil and gas industry. The complex geologic settings and significant water and reservoir depths necessitate high development costs, in addition to requiring innovating technology. The investment costs are substantial: because of the extreme water...

As an unconventional petroleum reservoir, the volcanic reservoir is essential for finding large-scale oil and gas reserves in deep sedimentary basins. Based on basin modeling, organic geochemistry, petrology, this study evaluates exploration potential of Carboniferous volcanic-petroleum system Jimsar Sag southeastern Junggar Basin. The source rocks area were developed Lower Songkharsu Formation...

Oilfield chemicals are utilized in treating reservoir formations, wellbore completions, drilling, and to enhance productivity, which exerts pressure on the formation. Pressure from these processes cause formation rock weaken, weakened begins detach, thereby producing sand as well fluid (petroleum). In petroleum industry, sanding poses major challenges with significant financial consequences. Th...

With the rapid development of China's society and economy, relevant industries get good opportunities, demand for oil is increasing. The production in oilfield increasing day by day. At present, most oilfields gradually enter middle late stage water injection exploitation, which increases exploitation difficulty reduces amount. In this paper, a comprehensive analysis waterflooding reservoirs re...

For the first time, polar organic compounds in extracted bitumen from Lower Triassic Montney Formation have been analyzed. This stratigraphic unit is one of most prolific low-permeability reservoirs Western Canada. However, its geochemical characterization a challenge due to low biomarker concentration liquids and frequent mixing gas/condensate hydrocarbons. Since typical biomarkers were not av...

Numerical reservoir simulation is an important tool that widely used in the petroleum industry for production forecast and decision-making processes. In a context of integrated system involving reservoir, wells, facilities, quality depends not only on models well productivity/injectivity but also boundary condition future extrapolation which, turn, characteristics. Both systems, are characteriz...
