Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This paper documents the testing, integration, and field deployment of a metal expandable packer used as an openhole toe isolation plug in a deepwater well under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions.
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.

This paper proposes a multidomain approach to tackle petrophysical and geomechanical aspects of a fracture system governing the carbonate layer of an exploration well in Kuwait to assess producibility and qualification for stimulation. -
This paper proposes a data-driven proxy model to effectively forecast the production of horizontal wells with complex fracture networks in shales.

As the demand for energy continues to increase, so does the sociopolitical demand that these resources be produced in a sustainable way. This reflective thought has defined this month’s selection of technical papers, each speaking to a different facet of this feature’s theme: unconventional reservoir development for a sustainable energy transition.

This paper describes natural fractures and their effect on hydrocarbon productivity in the Vaca Muerta shale formation.
-
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.
