DEEP completed a “Southeast Saskatchewan Geothermal Project Pre-Feasibility Study” in  September, 2014, drilled their first exploration well in December 2018 and completed testing on the discovery well in summer 2019. Subsequent activities include the drilling and testing of one step out exploration well and three appraisal wells including the world’s first horizontal geothermal well to […]

Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a critical mitigation technology in the fight to reduce global emissions and CO2 utilization through Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is an influential economic driver. This study presents a method and techno-economic model that considers reservoir suitability for CO2-EOR and price conditions at which CO2 projects become feasible and […]

Abstract: In unconventional reservoirs, a "frac hit" is the infill-to-parent well communication during hydraulic fracturing. In most shale plays, production from the parent-infill well system drops below original forecasts due to production degradation after fracture hits from offset wells.  This study reviews current methods to mitigate the production degradation and evaluates the effectiveness of these […]

Applications of Rate and Pressure Transient Analysis in Huff-n-Puff Gas EOR for Unconventional Reservoirs Gas injection huff and puff (HnP) has been successfully applied in parts of Eagle Ford over the past few years. The success is attributed to gas and oil miscibility achieved by injection of gas at high pressure and rate in a […]
