Using large-scale hydraulic-fracturing experiments on tight shale outcrops, three dominant regions controlling stage production were identified.

An analysis of thousands of fracturing treatments in major plays in the United States provides insights into how fracture designs have changed over time.

Production engineers are facing a new challenge when trying to select optimal well-production systems (in particular artificial lift) for important, relatively new resources: liquids-rich shale and deepwater subsalt applications.

This paper presents an integrated modeling approach for history matching and economic optimization of wells producing from liquids-rich shale reservoirs.

The number of subsea wells has increased steadily to more than 5,500 by the end of 2012.

This paper describes a methodology that deploys CLs on the inside of the tubing, reducing cost and ensuring continued effectiveness of SC-SSSVs.

This feature focuses on the development and trial evaluation of selected new technologies to improve recovery, reduce energy use and environmental impacts, and enhance the overall economics of in-situ extraction of heavy-oil and bitumen resources.

This paper presents a concept for recovery in Canadian oil sands that uses water injection to condition a reservoir interval sufficiently to relieve the overburden stress on the oil sand and increase its porosity and permeability.

To increase the production of a heavy-oil reservoir offshore Congo, a study of DHEH applications has been carried out with encouraging results.

Work conducted in the Surmont field of Alberta, Canada, provided an excellent starting point to optimize flow-control improvements to the SAGD process.
