The adoption of emerging technologies is essential for all businesses, and even more important for well-­established industries because of the perpetual threat of disruption from competitors.

Considering the significant weight of drilling costs in upstream ventures, saving even a few hours of drilling could lead to substantial cost savings on the overall capital expenditures (Capex). Thanks to the big data revolution, cost optimization still has strong potential in drilling operations.

YPF has followed an unconventional path up the learning curve to develop the Vaca Muerta, which could be the first big ultratight play developed outside North America.

Añelo is a small town in an arid, sparsely populated area with a new supermarket, police station, bank, skate park, hotel, and hospital. In the past decade the population has roughly tripled to 7,000, and in 5 years, it is expected to nearly triple again to 20,000.

Crude prices may be rebounding, but undergraduate enrollment in US petroleum engineering programs continues to dive. Will there be a shortage of young, qualified PE graduates in the coming years?

Halliburton Chief Executive Officer Jeff Miller discusses the service company giant's outlook for North American unconventionals and the overall health of the oil and gas industry.

After Gustavo Astie, executive manager for ­unconventionals at YPF, presented what he thought was an aggressive growth plan for the coming year to YPF management, he was asked: Would it be possible to go faster?

A drive down a gravel road in the Loma Campana follows the steep early learning curve in the Vaca Muerta.

It is easy to fixate on what it will take to extract huge volumes of oil and gas from the nearly impermeable rock within the Vaca Muerta.

The complete paper presents a numerical work flow to simulate the effect of flow-induced fines migration on production decline over time in deepwater reservoirs.
