Although principal-component analysis (PCA) has been applied widely to reduce the number of parameters characterizing a reservoir, its disadvantages are well-recognized.

As the role of reservoir-flow simulation increasingly affects existing operations and field-development decisions, it follows that rigor, fitness, and consistency should be imposed on the calibration of reservoir-flow models to dynamic data through history matching.

Nowadays, there is a wealth of history-matching methods. As a result, we observe that it is becoming a common industrial practice to generate multiple history-matched models, even for fairly complex problems with thousands of uncertainty variables and a large amount of data.

Decline-curve analysis (DCA) is arguably the most commonly used method for forecasting reserves in unconventional reservoirs. This paper discusses its basic theory and application, together with the potential pitfalls of using simple empirical production-forecasting methods in complex reservoirs.

In its pursuit to enhance recovery from major producing reservoirs, the company is emphasizing high-impact technologies to achieve breakthroughs.

The necessity to cut costs amid low oil prices has pushed shale operators to use well data more effectively to get the most value out of their fracturing stimulation treatments.

This paper describes the design, testing, and execution of a unique deepwater completion system that adapts a known multistage ball-drop system used in onshore unconventional reservoirs.

To the casual observer of completions and hydraulic fracturing, it might appear that multifractured horizontal wells are a relatively recent concept that materialized just as we required them for unconventionals.
