In this paper, an energy-based 3D fracture-reconstruction method is proposed to derive the complex fracture network from microseismic data in a shale gas reservoir.

The authors write that, by wireline formation testing of a sandstone formation adjacent to a sand/shale laminated reservoir in the Weizhou shale-oil region of the Beibu Gulf, key reservoir information can be directly obtained.

This paper presents a novel workflow for using electromagnetic resistivity-based reservoir mapping logging-while-drilling technologies for successful well placement and multilayer mapping in low-resistivity, low-contrast, thinly laminated clastic reservoirs.

This paper presents a complete digital workflow applied to several greenfields in the Asia Pacific region that leads to successful deep-transient-testing operations initiated from intelligent planning that positively affected field-development decisions.

This study introduces a cleanup- and flowback-testing approach incorporating advanced solids-separation technology, a portable solution, equipment automation, improved metallurgy, and enhanced safety standards.

In this paper, the authors propose a regression machine-learning model to predict stick/slip severity index using sequences of surface measurements.

A Shell partnership with YPF marks a significant milestone for the Argentina LNG export facility, raising new questions about the nation’s potential to unlock the economic power of its vast shale reserves.

The authors make the case that data science captures value in well construction when data-analysis methods, such as machine learning, are underpinned by first principles derived from physics and engineering and supported by deep domain expertise.

Regional pore-pressure variations in the Leonardian- and Wolfcampian-age producing strata in the Midland and Delaware basins are studied using a variety of subsurface data.

Global offshore decommissioning projects hear the starting gun in Australia and the North Sea, but will the race be a marathon or a sprint?

Greenhouse gases are woven into every stage of a well’s life, which presents challenges that demand creative solutions that do not require too much capital.

From optimizing drilling performance to enhancing worker safety, computer vision can change how the industry works.
