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.
Bridging the gap between foundational guidance and real-world application, SPE’s Oil and Gas Reserves Committee is advancing PRMS education with a new, peer-reviewed training initiative. This article highlights the evolution of the PRMS knowledge base and introduces the PRMS Training Master Slides—a modular, instructor-led framework designed to improve consistency, cl…
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.

Geochemical parameters such as total organic carbon (TOC) provides valuable information to understand rock organic richness and maturity and, therefore, optimize hydrocarbon exploration. This article presents a novel work flow to predict continuous high-resolution TOC profiles using machine learning. -
The US onshore business is looking flat at the moment, though these sorts of predictions are prone to sudden shifts.

As the demand for energy continues to increase, so does the sociopolitical demand that these resources be produced in a sustainable way. This reflective thought has defined this month’s selection of technical papers, each speaking to a different facet of this feature’s theme: unconventional reservoir development for a sustainable energy transition.

This paper describes natural fractures and their effect on hydrocarbon productivity in the Vaca Muerta shale formation.
-
The authors of this paper describe a solution using machine-learning techniques to predict sandstone distribution and, to some extent, automate the process of optimizing well placement.
