Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Conflict‑driven price gains may be offset by higher costs, supply‑chain risks, and a limited appetite for new drilling activity.
This paper introduces a novel steam-sensitive flow-control device designed to restrict the production of steam and low-subcool liquids while allowing higher mobility of oil-phase fluids.
This paper demonstrates how the integration of multiphysics downhole imaging with machine-learning techniques provides a significant advance in perforation-erosion analysis.

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. -
This paper presents a multidisciplinary view of the evolution of a development project for the central area of Sururu and the method applied to address challenges and propose solutions.
-
One hydraulic fracturing job can stimulate two wells, but economic success hinges on doing it in the right place for the right price.
-
This paper assesses the potential of augmented depletion development in four US plays: Bakken, Eagle Ford, Midland, and the Anadarko Basin.
-
Rig counts are down since 2023, but well productivity is marching forward.
-
The deal comes only weeks after the private equity firm purchased a natural gas-fired plant operator.
-
Based on 6 years of firsthand experience, refrac experts share some of their biggest insights into where the US market is headed and how to identify the best candidates.
-
The new frontier of production improvement combines surveillance techniques and analysis to determine which variables boost output.
-
The KRI has become a significant player in the oil and gas industry. The authors use production data from key fields to explore the factors influencing both individual fields and overall production. An overview of the challenges and milestones in the region’s oil and gas sector from 2014 to 2023 enhances understanding of its evolution, current status, and future oppor…
