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.

The paper describes a parameter inversion of reservoirs based on featured points, using a semi-iterative well-test-curve-matching approach that addresses problems of imbalanced inversion accuracy and efficiency. -
This paper aims to present thoroughly the application of subsurface safety injection valves in extremely high-temperature environments.
-
These three papers leverage machine learning and hybrid methods to tackle challenges in forecasting, optimization, and reservoir characterization.
