Reservoir characterization
The SPE Reservoir Technical Discipline and Advisory Committee invite their Reservoir members worldwide to participate in a new survey aimed at assessing the current state of reservoir engineering across industry and academia. Deadline is 21 July 2025.
The trio introduced an innovative mud drilling system designed for horizontal reservoirs with extreme inclines of up to 102° and depths reaching 11,000 ft.
Potential subsurface locations for carbon dioxide storage must meet benchmarks that warrant effective, safe, and economic storage functions.

An area of great interest to those researching flowback is the interaction of water and salt inside the shale reservoir. After a well is stimulated, the flowback fluids tend to show a rising concentration of salt that falls back to near zero over time. -
Pulled directly from the reservoir rock, core samples provide critical data used to determine how exploration should proceed. Until recently, core analysis remained old school, however, there is an ongoing transition to bring the process of core description into the digital age.
