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.

BKV Corp. has combined bullhead and liner refracturing methods to create an approach called the hybrid expandable liner system. -
The nearly $60-billion deal will see ExxonMobil more than double its Permian Basin output to over 1.3 million BOED.
-
Permian producers are looking for new places and ways to sustain production in the giant basin.
-
The latest deal from Denver-based Civitas Resources brings its spending total this year to almost $7 billion.
-
This paper presents a physics-assisted deep-learning model to facilitate transfer learning in unconventional reservoirs by integrating the complementary strengths of physics-based and data-driven predictive models.
-
As production dynamics evolve over the full life cycle of a tight-oil play, a single artificial lift method may not be the most cost-effective solution.
-
The authors of this paper present an artificial-lift timing and selection work flow using a hybrid data-driven and physics-based approach that incorporates routinely available pressure/volume/temperature, rate, and pressure information.
-
This paper focuses on characterization of fracture hits in the Eagle Ford, methods to predict their effects on production, and mitigation techniques.
