Reservoir characterization
After 5 years of in-depth diagnostic research, the Oklahoma City-based operator shares more insights on fracture behavior.
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.

This study describes application of the iterative ensemble Kalman smoother application to a low-permeability coalbed methane field in Australia. -
This work evaluates and compares the performance of rate normalization and pressure deconvolution for both synthetic and tight-oil examples.
-
The authors describe an approach to achieve reliable estimation of field gas initially in place.
-
The COVID-19 pandemic naturally has affected SPE meetings, causing many to be rescheduled or postponed indefinitely, but SPE papers continue to be a crucial source of technical knowledge. The selected papers explore simple and complex innovative approaches toward reservoir characterization to work around the absence of certain data.
-
The authors describe an integrated multiscale data methodology involving machine-leaning tools applied to the Late Jurassic Upper Jubaila formation outcrop data.
-
The authors develop a collocated finite-volume method to study induced seismicity as a result of pore-pressure fluctuations.
-
This paper describes the application of a synthetic seismic-catalog-generation method followed by application of a neural network on a seismic data set for an oil-producing field in the North Sea.
-
This paper describes an integrated work flow developed for 3D seismic reservoir characterization of deep and thin layers without sufficient well data in a South China Sea formation.
-
The author writes that careful calibration of a common, simple rock physics model can provide valuable insights into reservoir and seal elastic properties.
-
Two well-test logging operations have been carried out for the first time in a conventional carbonate reservoir in safe operating conditions and with repeatable results.
