Reservoir
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.
This year’s selected papers showcase meaningful advances across condensate‑rich tight gas, tight sandstones, and coalbed methane reservoirs, each contributing new tools for improving predictability and field-development efficiency.

This work demonstrates that a carefully engineered wireline perforation strategy can address the challenges of long-interval high-pressure/high-temperature completions with large intrareservoir-pressure differentials safely and effectively.
-
This paper describes modeling work performed to design fracturing treatment and spacing for wells in the Project Cape enhanced geothermal system in Utah.
-
Oman is embarking on a renewed effort to deploy the latest hydraulic fracturing technologies and techniques, tailored to its unique reservoirs and challenges.

The award comes as a contract release purchase order under a long-term agreement that simplifies ongoing efforts to maintain mature field production in Saudi Arabia.
-
With the Vaca Muerta home to some of the world’s most-productive wells, and the Permian still going strong, if increasingly gassier, Rystad sees shale as resilient.
-
The agreement follows the discovery of 724 million BOE in unconventional oil and gas reserves in November.
-
Westwood links 2026 exploration outcomes to policies, with operators offshore Norway finding seven times more resources than those offshore the UK.
-
The purchase includes approximately 260 producing wells and expands Caturus’ footprint in the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk.
-
The asset sale to an undisclosed buyer includes 360,000 net acres in Oklahoma.
