Abstract: A chemical injection system for a resource extraction system includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to receive a first pressure from a first pressure sensor of the resource extraction system, receive a second pressure from a second pressure sensor of the resource extraction system, determine a flowrate of a produced fluid of the resource extraction system based on the first pressure and the second pressure, determine an ion concentration of the produced fluid, and adjust an injection rate of a chemical into the resource extraction system based on the flowrate of the produced fluid, the ion concentration of the produced fluid, or both.

Abstract: A method for analyzing data includes obtaining data objects from a data repository. The data objects include observational data related to one or more oil wells, oil fields, or a combination thereof. The method also includes classifying the data objects based on data contained therein using a machine-learning algorithm, and determining output data from the data objects after classifying the data objects. The output data represents one or more historical data analytics for the one or more oil wells, oil fields, or a combination thereof. The method further includes visualizing the output data including the one or more historical data analytics.

Abstract: A method of improving injectivity of fluid, particularly produced water, in enhanced hydrocarbon recovery is disclosed. The method includes introducing a fracturing fluid into the subterranean formation to create a fracture, and introducing proppant into the fracturing fluid to form a single layer of proppant in the fracture. The fracturing fluid can be formed from produced water. Alternatively, the produced water is introduced after a fracturing fluid, other than the produced water, has been introduced to create a fracture. By reducing the amount of proppant and by using much larger proppant, a larger flow path through the fracture is created, thereby increasing the injectivity of produced water.

Abstract: Herein is described a method of completing an interval of a cased well drilled through incompetent formation. This method includes a combination of three successive operations: zero-degree phasing perforation of a relatively small portion of the interval to be completed, consolidation of the formation zone around the perforations and injection of a propped fracturing fluid above fracture pressure to create a gap between the cement and the borehole and pack this gap with a proppant held by a proppant flowback-retention agent.
