Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.

Flowback (or cleanup) of fracturing treatments can have a profound influence on well productivity in unconventional reservoirs. The process of cleanup crosses many discipline boundaries. -
This paper presents a pragmatic integrated work flow used to optimize development and guide critical development decisions in the Black Hawk field.
-
This paper discusses fracture stimulation in the first joint-venture shale-gas project with foreign companies in China.
-
In 2010, exploration of gas-rich and possibly liquid-rich shale reservoirs began in northern Mexico. A two-stage integrated workflow was developed to achieve set objectives.
-
Used extensively by the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, the mechanical-vapor-recompression (MVR) process is viewed as a reliable method for recovering demineralized water from concentrated brines. This paper reports on performance of an advanced MVR system in north-central Texas.
-
The paper assesses the technology implications of migrating LNG floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) concepts to inshore service.
-
This paper presents an integrated modeling approach for history matching and economic optimization of wells producing from liquids-rich shale reservoirs.
-
Tight gas reservoirs and shale gas reservoirs are economically viable hydrocarbon prospects that have proved to be successful in North America.
-
Reserves- and resources-evaluation methods in unconventional reservoirs are different from those for conventional reservoirs.
-
Three observations have resulted from horizontal-well development in the Sulige tight gas field.
