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.

This work evaluates CO2-based fracturing as a sustainable development approach for shale gas reservoirs in the Burgos Basin of Mexico. -
This paper describes an autonomous inflow-control technology for gas wells developed to detect and choke unwanted water production autonomously while allowing gas and condensate production.
-
This case study presents the first field deployment of acoustic fracturing analysis to evaluate perforation efficiency and implement real-time interventions during pressure pumping.
-
As several commercial-scale projects are gearing up in the US, developers expect the next few years to reveal whether lithium extraction from brines can become a big business.
-
This paper discusses waterflooding and field-development implications of subsea seawater treatment for improved oil recovery.
-
This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
-
This paper details the design and implementation of a subsea multiphase pump solution deployed in the Atlanta field designed to maximize reuse of existing subsea and topside equipment.
-
This paper describes an emergency-response system deployed on artificial islands that manages complex challenges, enhances safety protocols, and improves operational efficiency in high-risk offshore environments.
-
This work presents an evaluation for carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects in the UAE for two wells in a saline water aquifer with respect to caprock integrity and water sampling.
-
This work introduces an analytical model for nonisothermal CO2 injection that accounts for both Joule-Thomson cooling and interformation heat exchange.
