Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Industry leaders champion collaborative solutions as essential for overcoming fracturing limitations.
The main goal of this research work was to determine subseismic faults and fracture corridors and their characteristics, including density and orientation, for a Paleocene fractured carbonate reservoir.
The authors write that, by wireline formation testing of a sandstone formation adjacent to a sand/shale laminated reservoir in the Weizhou shale-oil region of the Beibu Gulf, key reservoir information can be directly obtained.

A 44-well development tests what ConocoPhillips has learned about maximizing the value of the wells by figuring out how they drain the reservoir.
-
The authors of this paper propose a hybrid approach that combines physics with data-driven approaches for efficient and accurate forecasting of the performance of unconventional wells under codevelopment.
-
Despite tens of thousands of potential candidates and the proven upsides, the unconventional industry has largely overlooked refracturing—possibly due to the way it’s discussed.
