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 paper describes the stimulation of a horizontal water-injection well with a limited-entry-liner completion in an onshore carbonate reservoir using a large volume of viscoelastic diverter-acid fluid system ahead of the main acid stage. -
This paper describes the application of an underbalanced coiled tubing technology in tight sandstones, using an integrative approach that incorporates petrophysical, geophysical, and reservoir engineering data.

The exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons from tight or shale formations have revolutionized the global energy landscape, unlocking vast oil and gas reserves previously considered inaccessible. This article intends to explore the complexities of hydrocarbon extraction from tight and shale reservoirs.

This paper describes a hydraulic fracturing pilot project using a technique that generates higher fracture conductivity to reduce the drawdown during production and improve connection through laminations.
-
This paper presents a case study of a North African oil field producing from two Ordovician sands with differing permeabilities where significant benefit was achieved by fracture stimulating one or both intervals in two wells.

This paper details a successful pilot to improve long-term well performance using acid stimulation aided by a tailored metal oxide nanoparticle-based fluid in the Wolfcamp A formation.
-
In this paper, the authors propose polymer-assisted water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection as an alternative method to reduce gas mobility while reducing the mobility of the aqueous phase and, consequently, improving WAG performance.
-
The authors of this paper study the effect of solids particles on oil/water separators and on produced-water treatment.
