CCS is touted as the solution to continued fossil fuel requirements, so cutting millions from costs and making wells hold more CO2 is vital to the process. Here’s how that can work. Reducing greenhouse gases, especially atmospheric CO2, has become top priority for every industry as the world deals with…
Dr. Geoffrey Thyne is an expert in increasing recovery by manipulation of water chemistry. Dr. Thyne began his career in 1979 as a research geochemist at the Arco Oil and Gas research facility in Plano, Texas. He received his PhD in Geology from the University of Wyoming in 1991 and taught at California State University-Bakersfield and the Colorado School of Mines until 2005. Dr. Thyne returned to the University of Wyoming in 2006 at the Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute where he was lead scientist for the DOE-funded Big Sky Carbon Storage Project in Wyoming. During his time at EORI, he became immersed in the possibilities of changing water chemistry to improve oil recovery, studying the process in the laboratory and the field. In 2012, Dr. Thyne left EORI and formed ESal in 2013.
Vladimir Ulyanov is an expert in quantitative economic and financial analysis, with more than five years of experience at various technological startups. At ESal, he is involved in evaluating tertiary oil recovery and carbon capture and storage projects.
Oil and gas operations are commonly found in remote locations far from company headquarters. Now, it's possible to monitor pump operations, collate and analyze seismic data, and track employees around the world from almost anywhere. Whether employees are in the office or in the field, the internet and related applications enable a greater multidirectional flow of information – and control – than ever before.
