Unconventional/complex reservoirs
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 study integrates laboratory testing with reservoir simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of autonomous inflow-control valves in managing late-life steam-assisted gravity-drainage production challenges.

Operators share emissions-mitigation research insights amid calls to accelerate to meet 2030 goals. -
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.

As the demand for energy continues to increase, so does the sociopolitical demand that these resources be produced in a sustainable way. This reflective thought has defined this month’s selection of technical papers, each speaking to a different facet of this feature’s theme: unconventional reservoir development for a sustainable energy transition.
