Unwanted water production can erode well performance and asset economics if left unmanaged. Interwell’s precision water shutoff approach, grounded in diagnostics and engineered isolation, helps operators identify water-entry points, protect hydrocarbon flow, and restore sustainable well performance in mature and complex wells.
More than 150 researchers will work on the Libra Rocks project, which aims to unlock insights that could improve recovery and reservoir management in one of Brazil’s largest offshore oil fields.

Members of SPE continue to share valuable and useful information through the more than 90 papers on reserves and asset management presented at various meetings, symposiums, and workshops this past year. -
The Guidelines for Application of the Petroleum Resources Management System (AG) document was issued in November 2011.

Reserves- and resources-evaluation methods in unconventional reservoirs are different from those for conventional reservoirs.

A carbonate field developed by Petroleum Development Oman is one of the largest fields in the Sultanate of Oman and has been running for more than 4 decades.
-
An integrated-asset-model (IAM) approach has been implemented for the Alpine field and eight associated satellite fields on the western Alaskan North Slope (WNS) to maximize asset value and recovery.
-
A variety of low-cost technologies can result in an increase in production in mature oil and gas fields, although the increase is usually temporary and not always economical.
-
Three observations have resulted from horizontal-well development in the Sulige tight gas field.
-
The North American shale-gas boom has highlighted the differences that a few years and a few thousand miles can make.
-
Natural-gas production from tight and shale-gas reservoirs will be increasingly important in China as the country shifts from coal-based energy to cleaner energy sources.
-
Gas in tight sand and shale exists in underground reservoirs with microdarcy or even nanodarcy permeability ranges; these reservoirs are characterized by small pore throats and crack-like interconnections between pores.
