Approach Resources Inc. is an independent oil and natural gas company headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.

Wireline continuous coring (WCC) has been adapted from the mining industry for unconventional resources. This paper is aimed at identifying and addressing complications experienced in the use of WCC.

A new multilayer boundary‑detection service has been introduced to resolve the geological uncertainty associated with horizontal wells in Bohai Bay. Geosteering and real time reservoir characterization were used to reduce the uncertainty.

Saturation-height functions (SHFs) play a key role in reservoir description and in quantifying oil in place. The functions must compare well with other sources of water saturation (Sw), such as core measurements and well-log interpretations. This study reconciles different sources of Sw.

Successful rejuvenation of two declining fields was enabled through innovation in both engineering and procurement strategy.

The deepwater industry uses technology qualification (TQ) as a tool to determine which safety barriers are needed, and what level of testing is required. Even without failure data from the field, a method has been developed to quantify the integrity of various components.

Intervention and workover operations can significantly affect the structural integrity and fatigue life of subsea-wellhead systems. Methodologies for wellhead-fatigue analysis have improved, but have yet to account for thermal effects along the well. This study analyzes those thermal effects.

Industry operations are shifting toward high-temperature (HT) downhole settings, expensive tubular metallurgy, and extended reach wells, while health, safety, and environmental requirements become stricter.

Energy outlooks by companies, government agencies, and private industry groups identify long-term energy trends and develop projections on supply and demand based on factors such as technological advancement, population trends, the global economy, and policy issues.

The first wells used to search for oil were drilled more than 150 years ago.
