Ready to explore the next big oil play?👀 In this 2024 URTeC paper coauthored with XCL, we dive into the emerging Uinta Basin unconventional oil play, analyzing its potential against established giants like the Permian and Williston Basins. Join us for the technical presentation on Wednesday, June 19th, 2024, as part of Theme 3: Emerging Plays and Challenges. Can't make it to the presentation?

In August last year, I presented the paper that I developed with the SAG/ANP G&G team at the First EAGE Conference on Deepwater Equatorial Margin: New Energy Frontier for South America. It was an extremely important event for Brazil's current situation, showing the potential of our Equatorial Margin and how we can explore it responsibly so that we can have a safe energy transition. The paper talks about the possibility of a petroleum system in deep-water turbidites in the Barreirinhas Basin. You can check the paper on my ResearchGate via this link: https://lnkd.in/dxR_C8q4

Water is a massive issue! Increasing net-oil is a massive focus! If you have questions and are curious to learn how to increase net-oil, tomorrow is the day to be attending the Reservoir & Production Mgmt. Conference in Stavanger as Ismarullizam, Øystein and Vidar will all be present. Check out the link below. SPE Stavanger Section

Investigation of the Geomechanical Behavior of Mowry Shale was published in the Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology. We would like to acknowledge the research supports from the School of Energy Resources. https://lnkd.in/gABQtmhb

New Video in my Basic Primer Series https://lnkd.in/eWe5_pT4 An overview of Petroleum Trap types A petroleum trap is a key part of the overall petroleum system Oil & Gas are buoyant and will float to the surface unless they are trapped by ponding Traps are a relative topographic high within the reservoir layer Traps come in a wide variety: Structural traps formed by tectonic deformation Stratigraphic traps formed by changes in sedimentary rock layering Only applies to conventional hydrocarbons – tight oil and gas (shale) do not need a trap as they are confined to the original source rock #petroleum #geology

Join me at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference next month for our discussion of Frac Protect methods, dynamics, and new techniques.

Exploring Pre-Salt Reservoirs: Insights from Petrobras 🌍We recently had the pleasure of hosting Rodrigo Surmas from Petrobras, who delivered an engaging lecture titled “SCAL and DRP Applications in Petrobras.” The session provided valuable insights into the challenges and advancements Petrobras has made in developing pre-salt carbonate reservoir fields—a critical area for both oil recovery and carbon capture. 🛢️ Rodrigo shared Petrobras’ perspective on addressing key challenges, including rapid RCAL and SCAL characterization, understanding relative permeability curves under laboratory and reservoir boundary conditions, and upscaling these properties to reservoir scale. These challenges are particularly significant for fields with CO2-rich reservoirs, where oil recovery efforts and carbon management strategies intersect. 👏 We are grateful to Rodrigo for sharing his expertise and offering a closer look at the innovative approaches Petrobras has taken to overcome complex reservoir challenges.
