Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.

Over the past 75 years, drillers have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age when it comes to technological improvements in well construction methods. Yesterday’s crude wood and iron drilling techniques have given way to today’s video game-inspired controls and robotic assistance—much of which migrated from offshore applications. These advancements have driven costs… -
A new plan to secure electricity for the powerhouse of Texas oil and gas will cost billions of dollars to achieve.

This paper presents a novel modeling framework for predicting residual oil saturation in carbonate rocks. The proposed framework uses supervised machine learning models trained on data generated by pore-scale simulations and aims to supplement conventional coreflooding tests or serve as a tool for rapid residual oil saturation evaluation of a reservoir.
