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.
