A pilot project validates the use of an advanced polymerflooding technology on the Alaska North Slope.

The market may be different from what we have previously experienced, but the path to a successful digital transformation is durable and the core principles of success have not changed.

This paper outlines an approach to history matching that uses artificial intelligence with an artificial neural network and data-driven analytics. The approach has been used to mitigate history-matching challenges in a mature, highly geologically complex field offshore Malaysia.

Oil major sells its holdings in Egypt’s Western Desert.

The paper describes the operator’s first implementation of fishbone stimulation technology, establishing a precedent for other fishbone candidate wells.

A study of a field case concludes that well spacing can be optimized by combing the information extracted from uncertainty and the interpolated maximum net present value.

In the 2020 Completions Technology Focus, I stated that digitization will forever change how the most complex problems in our industry are solved. And, despite another severe downturn in the upstream industry, data science continues to provide solutions for complex unconventional well problems.

Offset well-pressure measurements in the Permian Basin are analyzed to evaluate if a fracturing job is overstimulated.

The authors use machine-learning methods combined with geomechanical, wellbore-trajectory, and completion data sets to develop models that predict which stages will experience difficulties during completion.
