Reservoir
As Egypt’s largest oil and gas investor, Eni is ramping up its 2026–2027 drilling campaign with new investments cross the Mediterranean offshore, Nile Delta, Western Desert, and offshore Sinai to strengthen the country’s role as a regional gas and LNG export hub.
The industry is no longer short of measurements; the real challenge is converting them into timely reservoir decisions that protect value. That challenge is becoming more urgent as the industry depends increasingly on mature fields and existing infrastructure. The selected papers show how this need is being addressed across different producing regions.
This paper presents a case study from a mature field redevelopment project where pulsed neutron logging was integrated with advanced reservoir modeling to improve the understanding of fluid-contact dynamics and optimize new horizontal well placement.

Although principal-component analysis (PCA) has been applied widely to reduce the number of parameters characterizing a reservoir, its disadvantages are well-recognized. -
As the role of reservoir-flow simulation increasingly affects existing operations and field-development decisions, it follows that rigor, fitness, and consistency should be imposed on the calibration of reservoir-flow models to dynamic data through history matching.
-
Nowadays, there is a wealth of history-matching methods. As a result, we observe that it is becoming a common industrial practice to generate multiple history-matched models, even for fairly complex problems with thousands of uncertainty variables and a large amount of data.

FEI is a maker of high-powered microscopes whose growth plan in exploration and production includes building a service company.
-
For more than 50 years pressure transient tests have been used to model conventional reservoir properties in wells all over the world. In unconventional reservoirs, it was first assumed this kind of test could not be done; however, a sensitive pressure gauge technology makes it possible.

SPE Distinguished Lecturer Joseph Frantz, Jr. says stakeholder opinions will shape the future of hydraulic fracturing.
-
Hybrid steam/solvent processes have gained importance as a thermal-recovery process for heavy oils in recent years.
-
An even temperature conformance along the length of the horizontal well is key in maximizing steam-assisted-gravity-drainage (SAGD) production rates.
-
The process of risk and uncertainty reduction in unconventional-drilling operations starts with improving techniques for pore-pressure modeling.

Downhole instrumentation of the Khazzan tight gas appraisal wells provides a rare opportunity to quantify reservoir pressure and temperature dynamics.
