01  Acid Stimulation Waterway 5
Session Chairpersons Michael Fuller - Chevron ETC, Reza Barati - University of Kansas
Acid Stimulation remains a trusted method for productivity enhancement in all economic conditions, and the success of these treatments closely depends on the chemistry of those blended fluids and their interaction with reservoir rocks. The current session includes a series of presentations on acid stimulation chemistry, including studies on acid diversion modelling and effectiveness; next generation fluids for acid fracturing; novel additive chemistry; and the development of delayed acid formulations.

03  Inorganic Scales I Montgomery Ballroom
Session Chairpersons Julie Fidoe - ChampionX, Amy T. Kan - Rice University
While our understanding of the factors that influence inorganic scale formation and control are constantly improving, more extreme environments for hydrocarbon recovery continue to emerge. The associated environmental challenges include physical and chemical properties such as high pressures/temperatures, high total dissolved solids and large ranges of pH, and location (eg deepwater wells with complex subsea architectures). Unconventional long reach horizontal wells are also now adding to the challenge of reducing operational costs and improved sustainability. In this session, presentations will investigate topics such as the impact of flow conditions within production tubing on scale formation and the impact of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) polymers on scale formation and inhibitor retention during squeeze treatments. Developments in scale prediction modeling of complex systems, improved understanding of brine compatibility within the Bakken, and evaluation of halite inhibition testing methods will also be discussed.

L01  Keynote Luncheon: Opportunities in Oilfield Chemistry for a Sustainable Oil and Gas Future Town Center South
Speaker(s) Martin Poitzsch - Aramco Americas
We are excited to have Dr. Martin Poitzsch, Reservoir Engineering Technology Leader, Aramco Americas, join us to discuss sustainability as it relates to our industry. Dr. Poitzsch will start off with a tribute to the late Dr. Hisham Nasr-El-Din. Dr. Nasr-El-Din was a professor and holder of the John Edgar Holt Endowed Chair in petroleum engineering at Texas A&M University, as well as a recipient of several SPE awards and honors. Following the tribute, Dr. Poitzsch’s presentation will shed light on the sustainability needs of our current environment in regard to climate change and reduction of CO2 emissions. Carbon capture, storage and sequestration, as well as CO2-EOR are key examples of upstream to net zero emissions. There are many major opportunities for oilfield chemists and engineers to introduce efficiencies and technologies in upstream operations to achieve that objective.

05  Chemistry of Enhanced Oil Recovery I Waterway 6-8
Session Chairpersons Katherine Hull - Aramco Americas, Samuel Lewis - Halliburton
Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) along with other Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) techniques are more attractive options when commodity prices are low. Running a successful chemical EOR/IOR program requires a more detailed design including the geochemistry of the rock-fluid environment as well as understanding of the phase behavior and interfacial phenomena. The underlying mechanisms for chemical EOR/IOR processes become even more complex under high salinity, high divalent ion concentration and high temperature reservoir conditions. The papers presented in this session review pore scale to pilot scale which cover the application of a variety of novel products including nanoparticles, surfactants and polymers.
