Unconventional/complex reservoirs
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.
By integrating experimental and mathematical modeling approaches, this work aims to advance the understanding of sand-detachment dynamics and formation instability under varying saturation conditions.

In striving to boost production of shale gas and tight oil, China is trying enhanced-hydraulic-fracturing technology and real-time data analysis in the Sichuan shale basin. In Daqing’s tight-oil fields, an alternative fracture-completion strategy and post-stimulation flowback technology has been tested.
