Permanent downhole gauges (PDGs) can provide a continuous record of flow rate and pressure, which provides extensive information about the reservoir. In this work, a machine-learning framework based on PDG data was extended to two applications: multiwell testing and flow-rate reconstruction.

The development of multilateral wells and long-reach wells has become important to maximizing recovery for many fields. These technologies are often applied in offshore environments, where large reservoir areas are drained from one or more platforms.

This paper describes an “active” monitoring technique that uses a direct search method to optimize the sequence of interval-control-valve (ICV) positions during a routine multirate test in an I-well.

The authors present a geology-driven deep-learning estimated-ultimate-recovery (EUR)-prediction model for multistage hydraulically fractured horizontal wells in tight gas and oil reservoirs.

Automated particle-size analyzers are something you will not see on most drilling rigs, but some think this outside-the-oil-field technology will play a big role in the future of the drilling sector.

The future of technology in the global energy industry will be driven by cost pressures, the scope of government regulation, and increased digitization

With the recent drop in oil prices, operators are shifting to optimization of existing assets with minimal costs. For mature floods (water, chemical, and CO2), one low-cost optimization strategy is the intelligent adjustment of well-rate targets.

To survive in the current low-price environment, exploration and production (E&P) companies must better handle the complexities inherent in their projects through practices that promote capital effectiveness and collaboration.

This work demonstrates cement design that includes evaluating cement-sheath mechanical integrity in intercalated salts.

A great benefit of being the SPE president is the chance to interact with students and young professionals around the world. Many are anxious about the future. I have been asked if this is the worst time ever in the oil business, a question that made me smile.
