Reservoir
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.

If optimized to scale, fast fission reactors could play a role in reducing emissions in field operations by producing carbon-free electricity. -
Oil production from thin-oil-rim fields can be a challenge considering early gas breakthrough and high gas/oil ratio. This study evaluates the performance of autonomous inflow control valves (in comparison with inflow control devices and sand screens) and their effectiveness in improved oil recovery in such fields.

As the biggest US companies grow bigger, the advantage of scale becomes clearer.
-
A 44-well development tests what ConocoPhillips has learned about maximizing the value of the wells by figuring out how they drain the reservoir.
-
This paper explains how an operator’s projects in the Vaca Muerta have become more-efficient and cost-effective by increasing production and reducing well-delivery-cycle time while fostering the long-term sustainability of the project.
-
This study aims at understanding the effect of a surfactant known as a high-temperature emulsifying agent as an additive to the steam-assisted gravity drainage process and the possibility of forming oil-in-water emulsions.
-
This paper describes the implementation of a hybrid technology of cyclic steam stimulation and foam into the heavy oil field development plans of the Middle Magdalena Valley basin in Colombia.
-
This paper’s focus is a case study of an Eagle Ford refracturing project in which a range of completion designs were trialed with an approach using offset sealed wellbore pressure monitoring and fiber-optic strain.
-
The authors of this paper propose a hybrid approach that combines physics with data-driven approaches for efficient and accurate forecasting of the performance of unconventional wells under codevelopment.
