The exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons from tight or shale formations have revolutionized the global energy landscape, unlocking vast oil and gas reserves previously considered inaccessible. This article intends to explore the complexities of hydrocarbon extraction from tight and shale reservoirs.

Rising natural gas production plus not enough takeaway capacity equals one big headache for west Texas producers

This paper describes a hydraulic fracturing pilot project using a technique that generates higher fracture conductivity to reduce the drawdown during production and improve connection through laminations.

This paper presents a case study of a North African oil field producing from two Ordovician sands with differing permeabilities where significant benefit was achieved by fracture stimulating one or both intervals in two wells.

This paper describes the stimulation of a horizontal water-injection well with a limited-entry-liner completion in an onshore carbonate reservoir using a large volume of viscoelastic diverter-acid fluid system ahead of the main acid stage.

This paper details a successful pilot to improve long-term well performance using acid stimulation aided by a tailored metal oxide nanoparticle-based fluid in the Wolfcamp A formation.

This study highlights the strategic implementation of coiled tubing to convey perforating guns in extended-reach wells, overcoming the lockup effect through the deployment of downhole tractors and real-time monitoring tools.

The authors present an efficient microfluidic platform to measure high-quality minimum miscibility pressure data of CO2 with various impurities faster and easier.
