Horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing have enabled shale development. In the next stage of shale recovery, the focus will be more effectgive development to achieve greater production with fewer wells and fewer total resources.

Exploration wells, unconventional plays, and development wells can benefit from NeoScope, a sourceless formation evaluation-while-drilling solution. Two case studies share how the technology mitigates the risks or logistic complications associated with chemical nuclear sources.

The demand for more and more oil and gas has prompted the industry to seek new areas of hydrocarbon deposits, and the development of subsea completions has kept pace.

For the past 17-plus years, it has been my privilege to serve as your JPT Technology Editor. After growing up in the oil patch as the son of a sales engineer for a major service company, I have spent all but a couple of years of my adult life as an oily.

A mobile system has been developed that mixes consistent solutions of powder-based friction reducers (FRs) at the wellsite and adds them to hydraulic fracturing fluid.

This is the teaser.

This paper discusses scaling up the high-resolution geological model and specific problems encountered by the study team in the Greater Burgan field.

Initializing a reservoir simulator requires populating a 3D dynamic-grid-cell model with subsurface data and fit-for-purpose interrelational algorithms. In practice, these prerequisites rarely are satisfied fully.

High-reliability gas lift flow-control devices (GLFCDs) enable gas lift for wells with the potential for H2S in the produced gas and where casing is not qualified for H2S service.

Artificial-lift reliability is strongly influenced by how well the equipment is selected, designed, and operated for its particular application. The required artificial-lift knowledge is more than simply entering data into a software program or taking one class on the subject.
