Unconventional/complex reservoirs
As Africa’s top oil producer, Libya is ramping up momentum—offering 22 exploration areas and welcoming BP back to Tripoli with a major deal.
This study aims to thoroughly assess the influence of various completions, fracturing stimulation, and intrinsic reservoir properties affecting the productivity of 10 major unconventional plays while uncovering insights and trends unique to each play
This paper introduces new methods to perform reliable permeability and saturation-dependent relative permeability measurements in organic-rich mudrock core samples using a pressure-decay setup.

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…

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.
