Supercritical CO2 Proposed Instead of Water for Hydraulic Fracturing
Scientists from Perm Polytechnic University, in collaboration with colleagues from China, have developed a method of enhanced waterless hydraulic fracturing. This could improve the efficiency of oil and gas production from unconventional reservoirs, according to a report from PNIPU obtained by the Devon news agency. Shale oil and gas deposits …
Labeled Water Will Help Model Complex Oil Deposits
Russian scientists have proposed to improve the accuracy of 3D models of carbonate reservoirs using the tracer method. Perm Polytechnic University scientists have developed an approach that increases the reliability of modeling complex oil deposits. It makes it possible to qualitatively assess the actual filtration flows through which the liquid …
A New Way to Increase the Production of High-Viscosity Oil Has Been Found
To do this, PNRPU scientists have created a three-dimensional model of the processes in the well. Perm Polytechnic University scientists have developed a technology that will reduce costs in the development of high-viscosity oil fields. To do this, they analyzed the extraction method using electric bottom-hole heating. The Devon News …
