The papers selected for this year’s feature collectively highlight the ongoing transformation of field-development planning across the oil and gas industry. A common theme among these papers is the integration of subsurface, drilling, facilities, and operational workflows into unified development frameworks.

This paper describes the potential of combined-cycle technology (use of a gas turbine and a steam turbine together to turn fuel into electricity) in offshore carbon-capture applications.

This study reviews subsurface microbial activity, biomineralization reactions, and mechanisms prevalent for bioremediating wells, stabilizing cements, and increasing trapping during CO₂ injection and storage.

Injection of CO₂ into depleted gas reservoirs, and even more so for saline aquifers, initiates a series of interconnected physical and geochemical phenomena. The geochemical process within silicate and carbonate reservoirs offers the potential to enhance storage by creating secure CO₂ reactions with rock/brine/additives.

This paper aims to showcase examples of how integrated analysis of surveillance data in the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli field has improved reservoir understanding and informed reservoir-management decisions.

This paper aims to optimize well trajectories in offshore reservoir development by applying a Pareto-based multiobjective approach.

This paper uses the structural-integrity-management framework to evaluate the current structural integrity of chosen platforms, highlighting their potential and limitations for carbon capture, use, and storage purposes based on in-service assessments.

This work applies fuzzy logic, a well-established artificial-intelligence technique, to quantitatively assess connectivity between injectors and producers in a giant presalt field in the Santos Basin of Brazil.

This paper presents a reduced physics-based model that accelerates the ability to screen infill-location optimization, using the fast marching method to maximize production for a reservoir with multiple realizations.

Within the oil and gas industry, the arena of offshore facilities is subject to the same emphases and initiatives as its terrestrial counterpart. This year’s selections reflect an emphasis on emissions reduction and facilities repurposing for carbon capture, use, and storage projects as well as advances in automation and unattended operations.
