This paper describes a full-field and near-wellbore poromechanics coupling scheme used to model productivity-index degradation against time.

The authors of this paper write that computationally coupled models enable swift, accurate, and engineered decision-making for optimal asset development.

The authors of this paper describe a model-driven work flow developed for hydraulic fracturing design and execution that could be a resource for other shale plays with similar challenges worldwide.

This paper presents a case study of integrated geomechanical and reservoir simulation with a developed fracture conductivity calculation work flow to evaluate well spacing and completions design.

This paper describes the building of a geomechanical model for an offshore field that integrated drilling, geology, petrophysics, and reservoir data to play a major role in the drillability and deliverability of the reservoir.

The coupled geomechanical and dynamic flow simulation work flow described in this paper relies on a multidisciplinary approach to meet future peak gas demands and support clean-energy initiatives.

The goal of this paper is to improve the understanding of uncertainties affecting well performance and reservoir connectivity in an offshore Malaysian field.

The key element of hydraulic-fracture modeling is the prediction of the generated fracture geometries. Research conducted over the years has trickled down predictive software. Nevertheless, the ability to design optimal fracture treatments is hampered, as we cannot “see” the subsurface.

This paper provides a comprehensive study for offshore carbon-dioxide (CO2) storage projects, identifying critical elements for estimation, injection, containment, and monitoring of CO2 plumes.

Rodolfo Camacho-Velázquez identifies areas of opportunity for future reservoir engineers related to the technical challenges of increased production and recovery of complex conventional and unconventional reservoirs, the application of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies in reservoir subdisciplines, and the energy transition.
