Reservoir characterization
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.

A challenging problem of automated history-matching work flows is ensuring that, after applying updates to previous models, the resulting history-matched models remain consistent geologically. -
This paper presents a work flow to match the history of reservoirs featuring complex fracture networks with a novel forward model.
-
Data volumes are growing at an exponential rate. How can high-performance computing solutions help operators manage these volumes? Will faster, stronger processors and cloud computing solutions be the answer?
-
This paper describes interpretation results of a 4D seismic-monitoring program in a challenging Middle East carbonate reservoir.
-
This paper discusses a project with the objective of leveraging prestack and poststack seismic data in order to reconstruct 3D images of thin, discontinuous, oil-filled packstone pay facies of the Upper and Lower Wolfcamp formation.

Production growth in the Permian Basin requires drill rigs running at a high pace. That is challenging companies to push well productivity.
-
Electromagnetic images can show where water flows during a hydraulic fracture. A test in the Anadarko Basin showed a fault there was a bigger hazard than expected.
-
Diagnostic fracture injection tests (DFITs) incur direct and indirect costs resulting from the tests themselves and the extended time required for the pressure falloff, which delays the completion of the well. The benefits, therefore, must outweigh the costs if the test is to be justified.
-
Using drilling data and a downhole acoustic signal, developers aim to assess unconventional fracture networks in real time and give engineers ability to customize each stage.
-
BP announced four discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico near existing platforms. It use advanced seismic imaging to identify resources in deepwater locations that can be developed cost effectively using platforms nearby.
