Surfactant-Alkaline Flooding is a combined Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique that integrates both surfactant and alkaline flooding methods

Drilling a well follows a sequence that is planned before the rig arrives: well design, rig selection, drilling of successive […]

Alkaline Flooding is an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique that involves injecting alkaline agents into a reservoir to improve oil recovery.

Pre-drilling work covers everything done before spud: defining the well objectives, collecting offset and site data, designing the well, choosing […]

Surfactant Flooding is an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique that involves injecting surfactants into a reservoir to improve oil recovery

Drilling optimisation adjusts weight on bit (WOB), rotary speed (RPM) and hydraulics to drill each interval at the lowest cost […]

Polymer Injection is an Enhanced Oil Recovery technique used to improve the efficiency of waterflooding by increasing the viscosity of the injection.

The usual measure for comparing bits and drilling practices is cost per foot (or per metre). It combines the bit […]

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technologies are methods used to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil reservoir.

Bit evaluation answers two questions: how to run the bit in the hole, and what to run next time. On […]
