... Abstract Unconventional wells have been known to revolutionize the oil and gas industry in the last decade. The downhole diagnostics play an essential part in understanding the well completion and reservoir performance. Main objectives for the downhole surveys can include: – Assessment...

... of the Frio Formation that were selected based on their optimal reservoir quality (porosity, permeability, and water saturation).The connecting zones between intervals of interest were modeled as well (in less detail) to assess the heat flow vertically among targets. The properties were initially upscaled...

... Abstract Some of the underperformance encountered in the petroleum industry is attributed to cognitive biases in project assessments (estimates or forecasts). It has been shown in the literature that if biases are reduced, portfolio profitability is increased. We will demonstrate that biases...

... Abstract Reliable fluid saturation assessment in organic-rich mudrocks has been a challenge for the oil and gas industry. Composition and spatial distribution of rock components have a significant impact on electrical resistivity and, thus, on hydrocarbon reserves estimates. Clays are typically...

...-downs later. Introduction Estimating reserves is an important process in most companies, as these estimates can have a large impact on company valuation. An estimate of reserves is inherently a probabilistic assessment; the different reserves categories (1P, 2P, 3P) quantify the uncertainty...
