Reservoir
Industry experts at URTeC assessed more than a decade of unconventional growth while discussing where productivity gains will come from next.
The technology has passed its first phase of qualification, with 84 nodes placed on the seafloor at a depth of 2,000 m to acquire 4D seismic data in the pre-salt Santos Basin.
Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.

Currently, there are few studies on smart waterflooding in tight and very tight oil reservoirs. This work examines smart-waterflood opportunities in such reservoirs. -
Previous studies demonstrate that Montney rock samples present a dual-wettability pore network. Recovery of the oil retained in the small hydrophobic pores is uniquely challenging.
-
While enhancing oil production from multizone, hydraulically fractured completions in tight reservoirs is not straightforward, recent studies have shown that applications such as gas injection and waterflooding have the potential to create significant improvement in oil recovery.

This paper presents the performance results from one of the waterflood pilots in the Viewfield Bakken.
-
Schlumberger’s new multifunction spectroscopy system builds on previous innovations to offer the first complete cased-hole formation evaluation and reservoir saturation monitoring capability that provides openhole-equivalent logging measurements.
-
The promise of getting 30% more oil production from shale wells has set off a race by companies trying to see if they can replicate what EOG has done. But the big question is: Can it add enough oil to increase the industry’s low average recovery rate?
-
Projections of future production in the Permian Basin may came up short because new wells drilled near older ones are likely to yield less.
-
A type curve is a quick way to answer a critical question—what does a typical well produce over time in a given place?
-
The authors present the results of a detailed experimental study in which underlying pore-level-displacement physics of two- and three-phase flow in a fractured rock sample is investigated with high-resolution X-ray microtomography techniques.
-
This paper discusses a crestal gas-injection project that was carried out in a supergiant heterogeneous-carbonate oil field.
