Reservoir
With the Vaca Muerta home to some of the world’s most-productive wells, and the Permian still going strong, if increasingly gassier, Rystad sees shale as resilient.
The agreement follows the discovery of 724 million BOE in unconventional oil and gas reserves in November.
Westwood links 2026 exploration outcomes to policies, with operators offshore Norway finding seven times more resources than those offshore the UK.

This paper presents a self-supervised approach for training a seismic foundation model and demonstrates scenarios in which it is used for seismic data conditioning, interpretation, and inversion through six real-use cases.
-
This paper provides an overview of an operator’s application of 4D time-lapse seismic technology over approximately a decade and includes future perspectives.
-
Seismic technology continues to progress at a remarkable pace, driven by advances in artificial intelligence, imaging, interpretation, monitoring, and the expansion of seismic applications across the wider energy sector. One clear trend is the industry’s move toward high-frequency and ultrahigh-resolution seismic, which has pushed the limits of what can be resolved in…

This paper describes rock-compressibility correlations for carbonated naturally fractured reservoirs in Mexico that considers a range of important geological and dynamic aspects.
-
This paper offers an exploration into the field applications of multiphase flowmeters (MPFMs) across global contexts and the lessons learned from implementation in a smart oil field that uses several types of MPFM.
