Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
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.

Calgary's Strathcona Resources is adding 35,000 BOE/D in a deal that will boost its total output to 185,000 BOE/D. -
The authors of this paper describe the characterization of fractures in the Mesozoic sandstones of the Phra Wihan Formation exposed at the southern part of Uttaradit Province in Thailand.
-
This paper proposes a multidomain approach to tackle petrophysical and geomechanical aspects of a fracture system governing the carbonate layer of an exploration well in Kuwait to assess producibility and qualification for stimulation.
-
This paper proposes a data-driven proxy model to effectively forecast the production of horizontal wells with complex fracture networks in shales.
-
The trend in fracturing designs has been longer stages with more perforation clusters, which save time and money. But there are a couple of companies testing whether shorter is better for production.

This paper describes treatment of deep gas wells experiencing halite deposition by installation of a velocity string that creates synergy between gas-well deliquefication and halite management.
-
This paper describes a customized solution using a thixotropic organically crosslinked polymer as a treatment design for a subhydrostatic and highly aromatic offshore gas well.

Part 3 of this series looks at the importance of performance analysis and how to generate the economic benefit for solving conformance or sweep efficiency problems. The economic elements of this review are very basic, but they will help you to determine a more-accurate understanding of the true economic benefit.
