Reservoir
Three papers are highlighted as the primary contributions because of their broad industry relevance. They focus on improving formation particle-size characterization, expanding the application of openhole gravel packs in depleted and compartmentalized reservoirs, and advancing the understanding of capillary pressure in sand production.
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.

This paper discusses a comprehensive hybrid approach that combines machine learning with a physics-based risk-prediction model to detect and prevent the formation of hydrates in flowlines and separators. -
This paper explains that the discovery of specific pressure trends, combined with an unconventional approach for analyzing gas compositional data, enables the detection and prediction of paraffin deposition at pad level and in the gathering system.
-
This paper presents an approach to subsea hydrate-risk management based on the understanding that some crudes have induction properties that delay hydrate formation even when the pressure and temperature conditions reach the hydrate thermodynamic region.

Operators from across the region met in Muscat to share how lessons from pilot programs are shaping cost, scale, and technology priorities across the region.
-
A collaboration between a large independent and a technology developer used low-cost interventions to optimize production from unconventional wells.

SponsoredSince 1997, intelligent completions have transformed reservoir management, but adoption remains limited due to perceived complexity. The industry reached a pivotal moment with the development of next-generation technologies that address longstanding challenges and offer simpler operation solutions.
