In the last two decades, development of directional and horizontal drilling has led to the upcoming of multilateral well technology in the oil and gas industry. This ability to drill multiple laterals from a single bore ...

Low salinity waterflooding is an improving oil recovery technique that is highly mentioned nowadays as it is cost-efficient and environmentally friendly. The technique involves injecting water with lower salinity compared ...

In petroleum exploration and production industry, tracer is a compound added to injected fluids, and can be easily detected even in a trace amount. Fluorescein sodium, a chemical tracer that can illuminate upon receiving ...

Low Salinity Waterflooding (LSWF) is one of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques that are often mentioned nowadays. Several studies showed that injecting low salinity water leads to Multi-component Ion Exchange (MIE) ...

Water injection is a process to maintain reservoir pressure and at the same time to sweep remaining hydrocarbon in reservoir when forces provided by primary recovery is not adequate. Recent studies concluded that injecting ...

Polymer Flooding is one of the most well-known methods in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology which can be implemented after either primary or secondary recovery. Polymer can lower the mobility ratio of the displacement ...

Horizontal and multilateral wells have gained a lot of attention since it can improve well productivity comparing with conventional well. The major benefits are to save cost by decreasing a total number of wells and increase ...

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) miscible flooding is widely performed to improve oil recovery. This technique recovers oil through miscibility mechanism between CO₂ and reservoir fluid. Since CO₂ is less dense compared to reservoir ...

Gas and water flooding are known as improved oil recovery method. Implementation of these IOR for volatile oil reservoir is essential to oil recovery and project economic. Different IOR schemes provide different mechanisms ...

Water injection is a process to maintain reservoir pressure and to sweep remaining hydrocarbon toward a production well when primary recovery is not adequate. Recent studies suggested that injecting Low Salinity Brine (LSB) ...
