Reservoir
The technology has passed its first phase of qualification, with 84 nodes placed on the seafloor at a depth of 2,000 m to acquire 4D seismic data in the pre-salt Santos Basin.
Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.
This article from the SPE Integrated Reservoir Management Technical Section (IRMTS) addresses decision timing across the reservoir cycle.

As the announcement of carbon sequestration projects becomes the norm, it’s time we look at what we know from a technical angle about how these projects need to be run based on the industry’s experience with enhanced oil recovery. -
The two companies have teamed up in an attempt to cut downhole costs with a project that aims to extract more information from reduced data-acquisition programs.
-
Producers in the biggest US oil basin have signaled that they intend to seize on $100/bbl oil prices.

This paper summarizes the integrated technical learnings from the successful application of the installation of autonomous outflow control technology in a new long horizontal injector well.
-
This study describes application of the iterative ensemble Kalman smoother application to a low-permeability coalbed methane field in Australia.
-
This paper will cover the most-common types of horizontal multistage fracturing completion systems, with a primary focus on unconventionals.
-
Heavy oils are characterized by high density, high viscosity, and high-heavy-fraction components. Because of high viscosity and lower API gravity than conventional crude oil, primary recovery of some of these crude oil types requires thermal stimulation of the reservoirs.
-
New research from Hess offers compelling evidence that two layers of tight rock can be treated as one and how passive wells can become oil producers.
-
This paper describes how a better understanding of the connection between the well and the reservoir through use of fiber-optic sensors can improve reservoir simulation models, decision-making, and well-performance evaluation.
-
This work evaluates and compares the performance of rate normalization and pressure deconvolution for both synthetic and tight-oil examples.
