The authors discuss the development of a deep-learning model to identify errors in simulation-based performance prediction in unconventional reservoirs. -
The authors of this paper compare case studies from the Bakken and the STACK plays to conclude that mineralogy, petrophysics, and reservoir-condition differences between basins cause differences in the effect of fracture-driven interactions.

In this second part of a two-part series on advances in artificial lift, we’ll look at the state of optimization and a trio of techniques and technologies under development or new to the market. Look for quarterly reviews of specific types of lift in upcoming issues in the new year.
-
This paper describes a high-density high-pressure/high-temperature brine-based drilling fluid that provides long-term stability and solids-suspension properties for extended periods of time.
-
Understanding the injected-water preferential paths is a key aspect of waterflood optimization in reservoirs characterized by strong vertical and areal heterogeneities. Devising specific work flows for such applications is important.
-
This paper discusses a waterflood optimization system that provides monitoring and surveillance dashboards with artificial-intelligence and machine-learning components to generate and assess insights into waterflood operational efficiency.
