Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.
This paper documents the testing, integration, and field deployment of a metal expandable packer used as an openhole toe isolation plug in a deepwater well under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions.
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.

This paper describes installation of autonomous inflow control valves in the Bretaña Norte field in Peru, enabling effective water control even though the trial well was placed in the flank, close to the oil/water contact.
-
This paper presents a workflow that combines probabilistic modeling and deep-learning models trained on an ensemble of physics models to improve scalability and reliability for shale and tight-reservoir forecasting.

The Energy & Environmental Research Center in North Dakota outlines the difficulty that the oil and gas industry faces in pinpointing sources of H2S production.
-
A new plan to secure electricity for the powerhouse of Texas oil and gas will cost billions of dollars to achieve.
-
New names and new deals continue to reshape the US shale sector.
-
This paper presents a novel modeling framework for predicting residual oil saturation in carbonate rocks. The proposed framework uses supervised machine learning models trained on data generated by pore-scale simulations and aims to supplement conventional coreflooding tests or serve as a tool for rapid residual oil saturation evaluation of a reservoir.

One hydraulic fracturing job can stimulate two wells, but economic success hinges on doing it in the right place for the right price.
