From Diagnostics to Dynamics: Reservoir Analysis in Unconventional Systems

Thursday, 22 October

1400 - 1700

Room 362 ADBE

Technical Session

This session presents physics-based interpretation and modeling approaches for unconventional and fractured reservoirs, covering flow diagnostics, fracture network characterization, thermal and multiphase processes, and recovery mechanisms. The papers highlight advances in rate-transient analysis, pressure and tracer interpretation, DFN modeling, temperature-based flow quantification, and stimulation strategies, with emphasis on reducing uncertainty and improving field-scale prediction.
