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.
Bridging the gap between foundational guidance and real-world application, SPE’s Oil and Gas Reserves Committee is advancing PRMS education with a new, peer-reviewed training initiative. This article highlights the evolution of the PRMS knowledge base and introduces the PRMS Training Master Slides—a modular, instructor-led framework designed to improve consistency, cl…
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.

The authors discuss the development of a deep-learning model to identify errors in simulation-based performance prediction in unconventional reservoirs. -
The authors of this paper compare case studies from the Bakken and the STACK plays to conclude that mineralogy, petrophysics, and reservoir-condition differences between basins cause differences in the effect of fracture-driven interactions.

Understanding the injected-water preferential paths is a key aspect of waterflood optimization in reservoirs characterized by strong vertical and areal heterogeneities. Devising specific work flows for such applications is important.
-
This paper discusses a waterflood optimization system that provides monitoring and surveillance dashboards with artificial-intelligence and machine-learning components to generate and assess insights into waterflood operational efficiency.
