Reservoir
Three papers are highlighted as the primary contributions because of their broad industry relevance. They focus on improving formation particle-size characterization, expanding the application of openhole gravel packs in depleted and compartmentalized reservoirs, and advancing the understanding of capillary pressure in sand production.
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.

In this study, forward simulation is executed by a commercial reservoir simulator while external code is developed for backward calculations. -
Findings from two new SPE papers argue that the tight-rock sector needs to rethink longstanding assumptions about how hydraulic fractures form underground.
-
In this study, the authors propose the use of a deep-learning reduced-order surrogate model that can lower computational costs significantly while still maintaining high accuracy for data assimilation or history-matching problems.
-
This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating dynamic gas separation with existing gas-avoidance methods within the same electrical submersible pump string to address these issues.
-
The operator developed a solution that has kept the well at stable production for over a year after treatment.
-
The rise in China’s gas production, now exceeding that of Qatar and of Australia, is also limiting growth in its LNG demand.
-
The project with ExxonMobil used closed-loop drilling and digital well-construction technologies.
-
Smart Seismic Solutions plans to use 50,000 nodes to examine storage potential for the Greenstore CCS project.
-
Latest 5-year assessment puts undiscovered technically recoverable gas resources on the US Outer Continental Shelf at 218 Tcf.

SponsoredUnwanted 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.
