The events will be co-located 3–5 May 2027 at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.
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.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.

If design A yields the same 90-day production at 10% lower cost in a series of wells than design B wells, is design A the better one? Using pressure-based fracture measurements, the separability of variables between two completion designs can be evaluated. -
A downhole compressor solution based on advanced magnetic technologies completed its first field trials in an unconventional gas well. It resulted in a 62% increase in gas production and significant increase in liquid production compared to using a rod pump previously in the well

When engineers went searching for clues on how fractures move beneath the surface, they expected to uncover important learnings. They did not know they were on the path to a new invention.

Proper lateral and vertical well spacing is critical for efficient development of unconventional reservoirs. Much research has focused on lateral well spacing but little on vertical spacing, which is challenging for stacked-bench plays such as the Permian Basin.

Reviewing a myriad of papers presented at different conferences during the past year, I can group the current trends in heavy-oil operations and research into two major categories: Process optimization and use of chemicals as additives to steam and water.

Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) performance in bitumen-recovery projects in Alberta is affected by geological deposits, reservoir quality, and operational experience.
-
Although polymer flooding has become a promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique, no field tests have been performed to date in Alaska’s underdeveloped heavy-oil reservoirs.
-
The complete paper explores the use of multilevel derivative-free optimization for history matching, with model properties described using principal component analysis (PCA) -based parameterization techniques.
-
This paper discusses a prescriptive analytics framework to optimize completions in the Permian Basin.

An ultrahigh-density high-resolution data set from the Hammerfest Basin is now available from PGS. The area is thought to contain around half of the undiscovered resources on the Norwegian continental shelf, according to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.
