In organic shales, hydraulic fracturing is important for optimizing the production of horizontal wells. For a standalone lateral, the propped surface should be maximized to increase production. In the case of a pad, well spacing is an additional factor.

The rapid growth of unconventional oil and gas production in the past decade is largely a result of advances in horizontal drilling techniques that allow longer laterals to reach deeper into the formation.

I think it is safe to say that the engineers and companies involved, in either building or using sand-control systems, have made significant strides and have added critical learnings to our industry.

An efficient removal of drilling fluid is essential to successful cementing operations.

It was established that improving the reliability of the TH-connector system has a direct effect on the unintervened life of the ESP electrical system.

Flowback (or cleanup) of fracturing treatments can have a profound influence on well productivity in unconventional reservoirs. The process of cleanup crosses many discipline boundaries.

The new approach joins well performance from production-system analysis and true valve performance from the VPC database to form an integrated system performance tool.

This paper describes the use of a root-cause-failure-analysis (RCFA) process to improve artificial-lift-system performance in a project in Chad.

Saudi Aramco has begun moving toward the production phase of its ambitious plan to develop its enormous hoard of unconventional gas resources.

The digital repository of our valuable SPE papers was first launched as the SPE ­eLibrary in 1997 and subsequently was updated as OnePetro in 2007. This great collection has become a valuable resource for our global industry.
