Petroleum and reservoir engineering remains at the forefront of ensuring economic extraction of hydrocarbon resources from increasingly complex geological formations. Recent decades have seen the ...

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 recent study using data from the Al-Khafji oil field, in the Arabian Gulf off Kuwait, shows how seismic attribute data can predict reservoir properties, such as porosity, and its lateral variations ...

Kuwait Oil Company’s (KOC) drilling and exploration teams have drilled 1,337 oil wells in the last three years. According to ...

Part of the solution to California’s ambitious decarbonization goals may, ironically enough, be found in the state’s oil patch. On a 560-acre plot of land in a dusty portion of the San Joaquin Valley, ...

At-a-Glance: Reservoir engineering is strongest at a handful of long-standing petroleum/energy engineering departments with deep simulation/EOR labs and tight operator links. Below are globally ...

Located in one of the country's most resource-rich states, the University of Wyoming's petroleum engineering program is taking bold steps to redefine the future of energy. Our program harnesses the ...

The work our faculty and students are conducting in UW's labs and research groups is changing the future of petroleum exploration and development. With deep expertise in several areas of petroleum ...
