Unconventional/complex reservoirs
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.
This paper presents findings reinforcing the argument that acid fracturing is a strong alternative stimulation method to improve productivity in the Austin Chalk formation.

The nearly $60-billion deal will see ExxonMobil more than double its Permian Basin output to over 1.3 million BOED. -
Permian producers are looking for new places and ways to sustain production in the giant basin.
-
The latest deal from Denver-based Civitas Resources brings its spending total this year to almost $7 billion.
-
The authors of this paper present an artificial-lift timing and selection work flow using a hybrid data-driven and physics-based approach that incorporates routinely available pressure/volume/temperature, rate, and pressure information.
-
This paper presents a physics-assisted deep-learning model to facilitate transfer learning in unconventional reservoirs by integrating the complementary strengths of physics-based and data-driven predictive models.
-
This paper focuses on characterization of fracture hits in the Eagle Ford, methods to predict their effects on production, and mitigation techniques.
-
As production dynamics evolve over the full life cycle of a tight-oil play, a single artificial lift method may not be the most cost-effective solution.
