Reservoir
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 presents a novel approach to predict reservoir porosity by conditioning seismic data, calibrating seismic impedance inversion, and tailoring rock-physics analysis.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.

This paper presents the mitigation of drilling challenges encountered in the Niger Delta through a technique that relates shale resistivity to shale porosity and vertical effective stress to predict pore pressure. -
The authors integrated azimuths and intensities recorded by fiber optics and compared them with post-flowback production-allocation and interference testing to identify areas of conductive fractures and offset-well communication.
