Abstract: A methodology using an interwell connectivity model for hydrocarbon management is disclosed. The interwell connectivity model may include interwell connectivity metrics indicative of fluid interconnectivity amongst pairs of wells and may be used as predictive or prescriptive for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). As predictive, the interwell connectivity model may be used to determine an effect of gas injection into the reservoir on one or more aspects of EOR, such as reservoir pressure or production rates. As prescriptive, the interwell connectivity model may be used to improve or optimize various stages of EOR, such as during drilling or construction of the extraction site, during primary depletion, or during one or more huff-and-puff cycles.

Abstract: A method of the present disclosure for fracturing a subterranean formation (e.g., an unconventional formation) may include: injecting a fracturing fluid into the subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to hydraulically fracture the subterranean formation. Said fracturing fluid may comprise an aqueous fluid and a zwitterionic surfactant at a concentration of less than or equal to a critical micelle concentration.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide for the estimation of the maximum reservoir pressure at which fluid can be injected into a reservoir before causing conductivity increase due to fracture/fault reactivation. An exemplary method includes computing the maximum reservoir pressure for the location of interest prior to fracture/fault reactivation at a given depleted reservoir pressure based on a computed probability of non-exceedance for a field or laboratory estimate of the maximum reservoir pressure prior to fracture/fault reactivation and a computed pressure distribution including a range of potential maximum reservoir pressures for the location of interest prior to fracture/fault reactivation at the given depleted reservoir pressure. The method also includes outputting the computed maximum reservoir pressure as the estimated maximum reservoir pressure for performing a fluid injection operation for the location of interest.

Abstract: A method involves performing an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operation. The method includes injecting a gas stream into a well via a first channel. The method also includes injecting enhanced oil recovery chemicals (EROCs) into the well via a second channel. The second channel is different from the first channel. An end of the first channel and an end of the second channel are positioned to facilitate static mixing of the gas stream with the EROCs to form an enriched gas stream in a subsurface region. The enriched gas stream facilitates the EOR operation.

Abstract: A method involves detecting parameters corresponding to a hydraulic connection between wells in a reservoir. Such method includes injecting carbonated water into a CO2 injection well. The method further includes identifying a presence of the carbonated water around a CO2 recipient well. The method also includes determining at least one parameter corresponding to the hydraulic connection between the CO2 injection well and the CO2 recipient well based on the presence of the carbonated water around the CO2 recipient well.
