A new method for enhanced oil recovery proposed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin is showing promising results in modeling studies—producing more oil, storing more carbon, and doing ...
SAN ANTONIO — June 23, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) have evaluated a promising approach to improve long-term carbon storage in depleted ...
Unconventional reservoirs typically yield less than 10% oil recovery. In the Permian basin, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) schemes include CO 2 injection, huff and puff, water injection, and, to a lesser ...
A study has shown that steamflooding distillation effects would improve crude recovery from thin reservoirs with less viscous crude. Steam distillation means that steam injection will cause some ...
A black powder of spherical carbon nanoparticles with specific properties can be synthesized using the hydrothermal method. Surface modifications can be achieved by chemically bonding organic ...
