Insights from an ongoing industry study on North American shale wells help explain what frac hits, or fracture-driven interactions, are doing between offset wells, and why.
The Great Crew Change is all but over, Gen Xers are now managing Baby Boomers, and the oil and gas industry is morphing into the energy industry. Is this the end of an era or a new start for petroleum engineering education?
Shell’s sibling solutions for its Vito and Whale deepwater US Gulf developments are proving the “design one, build two” model can work.
“Where is Shell based?” The answer to that is likely to get simpler very soon.
Over the past 30 years Caspian nations such as Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan have built thriving economies on oil and gas wealth led by global energy companies and a handful of megaprojects. As times change, that model may need to be reassessed.
The national oil company plans to tap into what is claimed to be the world's largest single-site solar power plant and the region's first nuclear power plant to decarbonize its operations.
Mixing dry polymer powder and water to make friction reducer as needed during fracturing can cut the cost of the additive and the testing of whether a drastically simplified recipe performs as well as more-complex mixes.
ExxonMobil has drilled a horizontal well with a rig billed by Nabors as the first fully automated land rig. The big question now is whether ExxonMobil will come back for more after this three-well test.

SponsoredWellbore deformation can occur at any stage in the life of a well. Whether a result of changes in temperature, pressure or tectonic forces, wellbore deformation may result in serious downhole issues such as restricted access for interventions or the loss of well integrity that may ultimately lead to premature well abandonment and significantly reduced economic perform…

SponsoredExtended reach wells provide access to otherwise inaccessible areas, improve production and reduce footprint. Advancements in completion technology allow producers to eliminate coiled tubing, perforation guns and milling out operations to lower project risks, costs, and environmental impact.
