Reservoir
This article from the SPE Integrated Reservoir Management Technical Section (IRMTS) addresses decision timing across the reservoir cycle.
BP said it expects to keep the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) project in production into the 2040s by tapping into separate nonassociated gas reservoirs.
Xu outlines the thinking and theories that led his team to six world-class oil discoveries that total more than 100 million tons of proven geological reserves since 2021.

Entrepreneurial mindsets with the motivation to explore new materials, not limited to focusing on traditional hydrocarbon gas, carbon dioxide, and chemicals such as polymer and surfactant, are becoming more important for broadening prospects beyond the conventional EOR scene. -
This paper discusses a comprehensive hybrid approach that combines machine learning with a physics-based risk-prediction model to detect and prevent the formation of hydrates in flowlines and separators.
-
This paper explains that the discovery of specific pressure trends, combined with an unconventional approach for analyzing gas compositional data, enables the detection and prediction of paraffin deposition at pad level and in the gathering system.
-
This paper presents an approach to subsea hydrate-risk management based on the understanding that some crudes have induction properties that delay hydrate formation even when the pressure and temperature conditions reach the hydrate thermodynamic region.
-
Operators from across the region met in Muscat to share how lessons from pilot programs are shaping cost, scale, and technology priorities across the region.
-
A collaboration between a large independent and a technology developer used low-cost interventions to optimize production from unconventional wells.
-
SponsoredSince 1997, intelligent completions have transformed reservoir management, but adoption remains limited due to perceived complexity. The industry reached a pivotal moment with the development of next-generation technologies that address longstanding challenges and offer simpler operation solutions.
