Reservoir characterization
This paper introduces new methods to perform reliable permeability and saturation-dependent relative permeability measurements in organic-rich mudrock core samples using a pressure-decay setup.
The authors of this paper present a workflow designed to achieve maximum integration between analytical and modeling activities in carbon capture and storage projects.
The SPE Reservoir Technical Discipline and Advisory Committee invite their Reservoir members worldwide to participate in a new survey aimed at assessing the current state of reservoir engineering across industry and academia. Deadline is 21 July 2025.

This study leverages oil-fingerprinting technology and geochemical data to evaluate the fluid connectivity between a main field and its stepout wells. -
This paper extends an integrated two-scale continuum model that contemplates mass, momentum, and energy changes to study the acid-stimulation process in complex carbonate acid-stimulation systems with the development of fracture and vug networks.

The company’s new Retina imaging system creates high-resolution borehole images at the drill bit.
-
The authors of this paper describe reservoir-fluid-geodynamics processes that explain the reasons behind varying oil compositions and properties within and across different reservoir compartments.
-
Interfacial tension keeps oil and water separate by resisting the mixing of their molecules at the surface. Learn how industry experts measure this force to diagnose fluid behavior.
-
The SPE Reservoir Advisory Committee has updated its "state of the reservoir technical discipline" document. The new edition is available for free download.

This work investigates the root cause of strong oil/water emulsion and if sludge formation is occurring within the reservoir using a robust integrated approach.
-
In this work, a perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory equation of state has been developed to characterize heavy-oil-associated systems containing polar components and nonpolar components with respect to phase behavior and physical properties.
-
The paper describes a parameter inversion of reservoirs based on featured points, using a semi-iterative well-test-curve-matching approach that addresses problems of imbalanced inversion accuracy and efficiency.
