Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This paper describes an alternative lower-completion concept for developing Lower Wilcox reservoirs referred to as high-angle multifractured well design.
The technology to desalinate and reuse produced water for cooling AI data centers in the Permian Basin exists, but addressing cost challenges remains critical to widespread adoption.
The leaders of US oil and gas companies in Texas and neighboring states cite regulatory uncertainty, tariffs, and volatile prices as drags on activity.

This paper explains how an operator’s projects in the Vaca Muerta have become more-efficient and cost-effective by increasing production and reducing well-delivery-cycle time while fostering the long-term sustainability of the project. -
This paper describes the potential, challenges, and opportunities of using a modified steam-assisted gravity drainage configuration in the Mukhaizna heavy oil field in suboptimal operating conditions.
-
This study aims at understanding the effect of a surfactant known as a high-temperature emulsifying agent as an additive to the steam-assisted gravity drainage process and the possibility of forming oil-in-water emulsions.
-
This paper describes the implementation of a hybrid technology of cyclic steam stimulation and foam into the heavy oil field development plans of the Middle Magdalena Valley basin in Colombia.
-
This paper’s focus is a case study of an Eagle Ford refracturing project in which a range of completion designs were trialed with an approach using offset sealed wellbore pressure monitoring and fiber-optic strain.

SponsoredExpanding its portfolio of high-tier technologies, TAQA develops a high-performance perforation-plugging patented product.
-
This paper presents the mitigation of drilling challenges encountered in the Niger Delta through a technique that relates shale resistivity to shale porosity and vertical effective stress to predict pore pressure.
-
The authors integrated azimuths and intensities recorded by fiber optics and compared them with post-flowback production-allocation and interference testing to identify areas of conductive fractures and offset-well communication.
-
Devon Energy along with petroleum engineering consulting and software firm Whitson and cloud computing company Snowflake developed a system to monitor the dynamics of 5,000 wells.
