The RTA/PTA Workshops have been the gold standard for industry and academic collabration. This discussion covers the last 5 years of advancement in the field and ways to implement new and emerging innovations.

CCS/CCUS will play a critical role in reducing CO2 emissions for a variety of industries. But what is actionable today, and how do we de-risk our projects to ensure we meet our goals? Pressure transient testing in CCS projects is essential for reservoir characterization, leakage detection, storage capacity estimation, performance assessment, model calibration, and regulatory compliance. This session will discuss applications of PTA in various aspects of subsurface CO2 storage projects.

In this session managers will explain how they use the results of PTA, RTA and DCA to shape their decision making and what challenges they see currently. This session provides a context on the “state of the usage” as a backdrop for the rest of the workshop. The session will include interactive Q&A so the audience will be able to ask questions of the panelists.

Technical analysis and decision making are connected through economic value metrics. The session will showcase different cases where rigorous well performance analysis and its corresponding economics resulted in value adding business decisions

About 15 years ago, deep neural networks have brought a renewed interest in machine learning methods. Since then, it has been understood that the architecture of a neural network is critical to its performance and that it can be tweaked for a variety of problems. Over the past 5 years, new architectures have led to dramatic progress in the performance of machine learning methods for image, language and physics-based problems. This session will highlight a few cutting-edge projects that pertain to production forecasting using advanced machine learning methods.

The shale revolution has moved from discovery, demonstration and deliverability to development. This phase brings new challenges: how to optimize field development in the face of changing reservoir conditions.

Completion operations monitoring and diagnostics tools play a crucial role in analyzing wellbore conditions, understanding well interactions and optimizing production. In this session, we will cover a range of diagnostic tools such as offset well pressure monitoring, fiber optics distributed sensing, microseismics, machine learning-based approaches, integrating surface pressure data, and advanced analytics combined with geomechanical modeling. These tools aim to optimize reservoir contact and production by analyzing various data sources and employing innovative techniques.

This session will illustrate the implementation of rate and pressure analysis for the improvement of operational strategies and decision making for unconvention reservoir development. Examples of these strategies include early time flowback optimization, improved well performance forecasting, development planning, well spacing and artificial lift optimization.

This session will begin with a comprehensive review of key concepts covered in the previous day's sessions. This session will then dive into the intricacies of Bottom Hole Pressure calculations, a critical aspect of reservoir characterization and well performance evaluation.

A Field Development Plan encompasses the production expectations corresponding to a given development strategy, sequenced in a chronologically and operationally achievable order. Additionally, it considers other production impacts such as expected child production degradation, LPO associated to FDIs, as well as planned and unplanned downtime. This sessions introduces cases of study highlighting how physically robust production forecasts have significant impact over the Full Field Development plan and resulting project economics.
