Reservoir
This article from the SPE Integrated Reservoir Management Technical Section (IRMTS) addresses decision timing across the reservoir cycle.
BP said it expects to keep the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) project in production into the 2040s by tapping into separate nonassociated gas reservoirs.
Xu outlines the thinking and theories that led his team to six world-class oil discoveries that total more than 100 million tons of proven geological reserves since 2021.

Conflict‑driven price gains may be offset by higher costs, supply‑chain risks, and a limited appetite for new drilling activity. -
This paper introduces a novel steam-sensitive flow-control device designed to restrict the production of steam and low-subcool liquids while allowing higher mobility of oil-phase fluids.
-
This paper describes the operator’s initiative to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and recover additional hydrocarbon, monetizing it as sales gas, by integrating upstream and downstream gas facilities in a unified approach.
-
This paper demonstrates how the integration of multiphysics downhole imaging with machine-learning techniques provides a significant advance in perforation-erosion analysis.
-
This paper presents a workflow that leverages a multiagent conversational system to integrate data, analytics, and domain expertise for improved completion strategies.

Examples demonstrate how an Integrated Operations Center as a Service (IOCaaS) model, powered by artificial intelligence, reduced costs by 5% and increased production by 6% in Canada.
-
The authors propose a deep-learning-based approach enabling near-real-time CO2-plume visualization and rapid data assimilation incorporating multiple geological realizations for predicting future CO2 plume evolution and area-of-review determination.
-
This study integrates laboratory testing with reservoir simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of autonomous inflow-control valves in managing late-life steam-assisted gravity-drainage production challenges.
-
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology continues to advance rapidly, driven by improvements in numerical simulation, inflow-control technologies, fiber-optic monitoring, and real-time production optimization.
-
The three featured papers illustrate how emerging computational methods—ranging from gradient-based optimization to data-driven proxies—are reshaping reservoir characterization, uncertainty assessment, and real-time decision support across diverse subsurface applications.
