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.

Calgary's Strathcona Resources is adding 35,000 BOE/D in a deal that will boost its total output to 185,000 BOE/D. -
Operators share emissions-mitigation research insights amid calls to accelerate to meet 2030 goals.

Part 3 of this series looks at the importance of performance analysis and how to generate the economic benefit for solving conformance or sweep efficiency problems. The economic elements of this review are very basic, but they will help you to determine a more-accurate understanding of the true economic benefit.

The authors of this paper describe the characterization of fractures in the Mesozoic sandstones of the Phra Wihan Formation exposed at the southern part of Uttaradit Province in Thailand.
-
This paper describes treatment of deep gas wells experiencing halite deposition by installation of a velocity string that creates synergy between gas-well deliquefication and halite management.
-
This paper proposes a data-driven proxy model to effectively forecast the production of horizontal wells with complex fracture networks in shales.
-
This paper describes a customized solution using a thixotropic organically crosslinked polymer as a treatment design for a subhydrostatic and highly aromatic offshore gas well.
-
The trend in fracturing designs has been longer stages with more perforation clusters, which save time and money. But there are a couple of companies testing whether shorter is better for production.
-
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.
