Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This work applies fuzzy logic, a well-established artificial-intelligence technique, to quantitatively assess connectivity between injectors and producers in a giant presalt field in the Santos Basin of Brazil.
Disposal wells remain the lowest-cost solution for produced water, but concerns over seismicity and long-term sustainability are accelerating interest in alternatives.
With a strong presence across US shale in the Bakken, Anadarko Basin, Powder River Basin, and the Permian, Continental Resources is expanding into Argentina’s Vaca Muerta shale as the privately held E&P giant pursues international growth.

Permian producers are looking for new places and ways to sustain production in the giant basin.

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.
-
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.
-
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.

Diamondback Energy has agreed to spin off its water operations. Now, who’s next?
-
On a pro forma basis, the mineral and royalty arm of the Midland-based oil company owns interests covering more than 32,000 net acres in the Permian Basin.

SponsoredThe data that comes with mapping flow behavior at the stage level of unconventional wells was once accessible only through the installation of costly and intrusive diagnostic methodologies like fiber optic or running production logging. New-generation FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracer technology with subatomic spectroscopic measurement techniques now de…
