Reservoir
This study demonstrates how routinely acquired downhole temperature data allows for direct estimation of fluid saturations and delivers more accurate reservoir volume assessments, particularly in aquifer-supported systems.

In unconventional plays, comparing the effect of different completion designs or well-management strategies on well performance remains a challenge because of the relatively brief production history and lack of long-term field analogs of these plays. -
With multistage operations becoming the industry norm, operators need easily deployable diversion technologies that will protect previously stimulated perforations and enable addition of new ones. This paper reviews several aspects of the use of in-stage diversion.
