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.
-
Shale operators are working harder to get as much out of new wells as they did from older ones nearby.
-
Rising oil production in the Permian Basin has created an opportunity for midstream companies to acquire and expand pipeline infrastructure to handle a predicted spike in produced water.
-
Technical Directors have a range of things to work on for 2018 that add value at a time when resources are scare.
-
Cyberattacks are an increasing threat globally to businesses and organizations, very much including the oil and gas industry, with operating activity of all kinds exposed as well as information technology networks.
