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.

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. -
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 natural fractures and their effect on hydrocarbon productivity in the Vaca Muerta shale formation.
-
The authors of this paper describe a solution using machine-learning techniques to predict sandstone distribution and, to some extent, automate the process of optimizing well placement.
-
This study catalogs global gas/oil ratio data to identify currently produced light crude oils that could be rendered carbon neutral through the direct-air-capture mechanism.

As the demand for energy continues to increase, so does the sociopolitical demand that these resources be produced in a sustainable way. This reflective thought has defined this month’s selection of technical papers, each speaking to a different facet of this feature’s theme: unconventional reservoir development for a sustainable energy transition.
