The year, marked by a fatal accident in February, finished with a decrease in accidents and spills.

Industry leaders champion collaborative solutions as essential for overcoming fracturing limitations.

Three graduate students have received the 2025 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition Outstanding Graduate Student Award.

Analysts at Enverus Intelligence Research and Rystad Energy report that US shale consolidation has largely run its course.

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.

The authors of this paper present a novel joint-domain full waveform inversion framework optimizing travel-time accuracy in both data and model domains.

The main goal of this research work was to determine subseismic faults and fracture corridors and their characteristics, including density and orientation, for a Paleocene fractured carbonate reservoir.

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.

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 proposes a methodology for preventing drillstring fatigue and failure in deep wells with large shallow doglegs.

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.

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.
