Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The events will be co-located 3–5 May 2027 at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.
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 paper describes the application of an underbalanced coiled tubing technology in tight sandstones, using an integrative approach that incorporates petrophysical, geophysical, and reservoir engineering data. -
The Houston-based independent will become the top producer in the Eagle Ford Shale with an output of 400,000 BOE/D and is eyeing 1,000 wells to refracture.
-
The acquisition of SilverBow Resources gives Crescent Energy a pro forma output of 250,000 BOE/D.
-
The new award accompanies the creation of an unconventional drilling subsidiary and potential equity deals with SLB and Patterson-UTI.
-
Losing drill-hungry independent and private companies in the region to robust M&A will mean an activity slowdown that is expected to impact volumes coming from the nation’s largest oil field.
-
Operators are turning the tide on the Lower Tertiary trend with increasingly large stimulations that are also pushing the limits of offshore technology.
-
Matthew Bryant has spent years trying to convince engineers that the API proppant testing standard has significant limitations. And he may well be right.
-
This paper describes the technical challenges of drilling and running casing in superlaterals in the Vaca Muerta unconventional play.
-
This paper describes a foamed cement solution designed and implemented to cement shallow intermediate casing strings in a heavy oil play in Northeast Alberta.
-
This paper describes the engineering design and operational execution practices that supported setting of a new extended-reach world record in a mature carbonate field offshore Abu Dhabi.
