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.

The objective of this study was to establish an efficient optimization work flow to improve vertical and areal sweep in a sour-gas injection operation, thereby maximizing recovery under operation constraints.
-
The objective of this paper is to present a fundamentals-based model of three-phase flow consistent with observation that avoids the pitfalls of conventional models such as Stone II or Baker’s three-phase permeability models.
