Reservoir
Operators aren’t rushing to drill, even as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz drives oil prices up.
The paper describes the revalidation of a deepwater prospect that resulted in a no-drill decision.
The authors write that deployment of artificial-intelligence-based high-gas/oil ratio well-control technology enabled stabilization of well performance and maintenance of optimal production conditions.

In this work, the authors perform automatic decline analysis on Marcellus Shale gas wells and predict ultimate recovery for each well. -

Partitioning interwell tracer tests (PITTs) have been used to estimate remaining oil saturations (ROSs) during waterflooding.

This paper reviews the design and implementation of a full-field interwell tracer program for a giant onshore oil field in Abu Dhabi.

For nearly a decade, Saudi Aramco has been studying how altering the chemical makeup of seawater injected into its reservoirs can increase production. The result is "smart water" that can boost the sweep effectiveness of a waterflood.

Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) is the most common fiber-optic measurement used for steam-assisted-gravity-drainage reservoir monitoring.

In this study, the authors demonstrate a reliable, cost-effective methodology that empowers shale operators with reservoir data on every well.

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, are building replica core samples using 3D printers and installing sensors inside them as they go. Their goal is to directly monitor pore-scale flow behavior from the inside of these so-called “smart rocks.”

The tedium of identifying small faults in often murky seismic images pushed Dustin Dewett, an associate geophysicist for BHP Billiton, to develop a better way to use the tools at hand.

In this study, samples of flowback water and downhole shales are analyzed to investigate the mechanisms controlling the chemistry of flowback water.
