Oil Patch Bits: EOR projects boost recovery of oil and gas fields

Schlumberger said Dec. 10 that it has made a multiyear research technology cooperation agreement focusing on improving the recovery factor of oil and gas reservoirs and extending the life of existing oil and natural gas fields.

The combination of Schlumberger formation evaluation and reservoir characterization knowledge with the subsurface laboratory and reservoir expertise of Shell will result in the development of better tools and methods to obtain improved field data, better and more efficient numerical models, and enhanced field development methods. The research collaboration is an expansion of the joint work on several fronts that Shell and Schlumberger already conduct together, and it will initially focus on two specific projects: reservoir surveillance for enhanced oil recovery projects, and digital rock for detailed numerical modeling of reservoir rocks.

The key target of the cooperation is to shorten development cycles, increase production and enhance ultimate oil and gas recovery. As part of this joint cooperation agreement, Schlumberger and Shell research scientists will work closely together in several research facilities in the U.S., UK, Russia, Oman and the Netherlands.
