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.

Several studies explored the possibility of improving both areal and vertical sweep efficiency in mature water-alternating-gas (WAG) patterns in the Magnus oil field. -
Foams have proved to be efficient at temporarily blocking high-conductivity layers and improving gas-injection conformance and sweep efficiency in predominantly matrix reservoir systems, at least in laboratory and field pilot tests.

When it comes to fracturing, experts argue about many things, but they agree that fractures do not look like lightning bolts, tree roots, or shattered glass.

A project to predict how much carbon dioxide injected into an oil field is likely to remain there forever set off the US Department of Energy (DOE) on a search for faster data analysis methods.

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.

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.
