In the past, most wells have been drilled using conventional methods, but the landscape is changing as economic ­pressures have forced the drilling industry to re­focus.

Early field tests suggest chemical treatments may be able to significantly increase production from unconventional formations.

After 3 tough years of cost cuts and downsizing, the oil industry is seeing signs of new life in a lower-price environment.

The objective of the complete paper is to present an integrated work flow that can be used to build P90, mean, and P10 type wells, which represent the range of potential outcomes for the geologic subset in an unconventional resource play.

One E&P company has found that implementing and sustaining a portfolio process require technical solutions and application of best practices for three critical elements: production forecasting, project modeling and economic evaluation, and portfolio management and decision making.

a holistic view of technology maturation that addresses both technical and nontechnical risks. The definition of success is expanded to include the establishment of successful, commercially viable, and sustainable solutions that meet end-user needs and requirements.
