Reservoir
Operators aren’t rushing to drill, even as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz drives oil prices up.
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.
The paper describes the revalidation of a deepwater prospect that resulted in a no-drill decision.

Initializing a reservoir simulator requires populating a 3D dynamic-grid-cell model with subsurface data and fit-for-purpose interrelational algorithms. In practice, these prerequisites rarely are satisfied fully. -
Recent industry activities have turned their focus to the areas of liquid-rich shale (LRS) and light tight oil (LTO) along with unconventional tight and shale gas.

Unconventional gas is poised to enter its Golden Age and to effect positive global change if it can meet three challenges. Consider the 7 billion people on Earth who use energy each day.

Many different completion techniques, such as vertical-well multiseam completions and multiple lateral wellbores drilled into a single coal seam, have been used to develop coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs.
-
This paper presents a pragmatic approach to frame, evaluate, and compare appraisal strategies in resource plays.

The M4-field reservoir is approximately 2000 m below sea level in a water depth of approximately 120 m. A carbon dioxide (CO2) geological-storage study was carried out to determine the feasibility of injecting and storing CO2 in the depleted M4 carbonate gas reservoir.

Exploration wells, unconventional plays, and development wells can benefit from NeoScope, a sourceless formation evaluation-while-drilling solution. Two case studies share how the technology mitigates the risks or logistic complications associated with chemical nuclear sources.
-
As oil companies have moved to more-marginal reservoir targets, application of conventional techniques has often yielded disappointing results, and tighter zones are often abandoned for more-promising target intervals.

A successful field trial in which foam was used as a gas-injection conformance enhancer was implemented in the Cusiana field in Colombia.
-
A number of hurdles need to be overcome to reach a successful action/reaction, problem-free status in EOR operations.
