Reservoir
As US shale potentially stares at a production plateau, operators and service providers are turning to smarter tools to extend the life of aging plays.
This paper provides guidelines for thermal modeling for carbon capture and storage projects in a depleted gas field.
The authors of this paper present an adaptive grid-coarsening approach based on constraints that honor reservoir structure and stratigraphy, preserve fluid volumes and contacts, and retain resolution near wells.

This paper describes a method with multitiered analysis to leverage machine-learning techniques to process passive seismic monitoring data, pumping and injection pressure, and rate for fracture and fault analysis. -
This paper describes an effort to use multiple technologies to better understand an Arkoma Basin reservoir and the interdisciplinary relationship between the reservoir’s subsurface hazards and a stimulation treatment.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between strain change and pressure change under various fractured reservoir conditions to better estimate conductive fractures and pressure profiles.

Recent technical papers have further shown the steady increase in the application of advanced seismic techniques and machine learning to mature to production “stranded” and “advantaged” hydrocarbon-bearing accumulations ; improve carbon capture, storage, and leak detection; and analyze naturally and artificially fractured reservoirs.
-
Well testing has enjoyed a recent uptick in activity and interest as operators continually realize the value in understanding and monitoring the dynamic performance of their reservoirs.

Uncertainty comes in all scales and dimensions. This challenges us to learn at all scales possible, from the fume hoods in the laboratory to magnificently exposed outcrops and through deep narrow boreholes that drill through subsurface reservoirs. The combined efforts often convert learnings to actionable intelligence.

Chevron has some new ideas on how to get more oil for less cost out of shale wells in their early years.

Casing deformations are common in the south-west shale regions of China and the Middle East, where the widespread use of 5.5-in., 26- and 26.8-lb/ft casing is the norm. In these regions, the majority of frac plugs are designed with an outer diameter (OD) of 4.055 in. or slightly larger, which frequently encounter restrictions resulting in the loss of bottomhole assemb…
