Unconventional/complex reservoirs
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 presents a novel approach to predict reservoir porosity by conditioning seismic data, calibrating seismic impedance inversion, and tailoring rock-physics analysis.
