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 Permian Basin operator said the purchase ‘checks all the boxes’ it looks for in an acquisition. -
Seven facilities design and public engagement principles are identified as key elements for the future oil and natural gas production facilities for the DJ Basin, and maybe even as a guide for other North American onshore shale basins.
-
The deal upon closing at year-end would expand Marathon’s position in the south Texas shale play by 130,000 net acres.
-
Recent studies have reignited the question of whether US oil and gas companies are ignoring the opportunity to refracture large swaths of maturing assets.
-
This paper describes the deployment of an ultradeep electromagnetic directional-resistivity instrument to map injection-water movement.
-
In this second part of a two-part series on advances in artificial lift, we’ll look at the state of optimization and a trio of techniques and technologies under development or new to the market. Look for quarterly reviews of specific types of lift in upcoming issues in the new year.
-
This paper describes a high-density high-pressure/high-temperature brine-based drilling fluid that provides long-term stability and solids-suspension properties for extended periods of time.
-
Billionaire-founder boosts his original offer made in June to secure the deal.
-
The Permian Basin operator said the purchase translates to more than a decade of additional inventory.
-
In this first part of a two-part series, we look at how the artificial-lift sector has adapted to producing unconventional resources. The second part of the series to publish in November will crack open the lift toolbox to take a deeper look at the techniques and technologies under development or new to the market.
