Growth in the world economy requires an increase in global energy demand. And oil remained the worlds leading fuel, accounting for a third of global energy consumption (BPs Energy Outlook, 2017 edition). However, the amount of conventional light oils…
Lacustrine shale from Madongshan Formation in Liupanshan basin has been the important target strata for shale gas exploration in northwest China. However, the system cognition in generation, reservoir conditions and geological gas-in-place (GIP)…
Logging tools detecting underground oil and gas resources face a high temperature environment of 200. The downhole electronics are unable to bear such a high-temperature environment and thus require thermal management. For the multi-heat-source…

Market size and petroleum resources are widely regarded as the main drivers of foreign direct investment (FDI) both in the developed and developing countries. How accurate is this claim in African? We investigated this question using both the panel…
The gas in-place (GIP) content and the ratio of adsorbed/free gas are two key parameters for the assessment of shale gas resources and have thus received extensive attention. A variety of methods have been proposed to solve these issues, however none…
Gas-in-place (GIP) content and gas-adsorbed ratio are crucial parameters for resource potential assessment, sweet spot prediction, and production strategy optimization. Various methods have been proposed from different perspectives to evaluate these…
The smart field has drawn much attention for the field business functions to be tied into a smoothly operating system. However, its operation decisions still cannot meet the ever-increasing multiple data source requirements. This paper proposes a…
Development of the East Natuna gas field, the largest natural gas resources in Southeast Asia, is still highly challenging because of the presence of CO2, up to 72%. Reliable CO2 separation technology implementation with suitable CO2 handling methods…
The Xihu Sag in the East China Sea Basin is rich in natural gas resources, but the sources of its natural gas have always been controversial. The existing researches mostly adopt the source rock maturity for gas source correlation without any direct…
The precise chromatographic isolation of saturates is a common problem of the characterization of highly paraffinic petroleum based samples. Incomplete elution of high-molecular-weight saturates (HMWS) or contamination of saturates by aromatics can…
Nowadays, there is a significant increase in the share of unconventional oil reserves such as heavy and extra-heavy oils as well as natural bitumen among the total balance of extracted petroleum feedstock. In this regard, one of the most important…
Oil and gas reserves represent the most significant asset for any petroleum company. Without a common approach to classification, categorization and estimation petroleum in-place and recoverable volumes, it would be very difficult to know whether…
Evolving energy needs and the global energy transition call for proper evaluation of how Natural Gas could support a Decarbonisation path, considering Natural Gas well recognised contribution to GHG emission reduction approaching the ambitious Green…
