The authors use machine-learning methods combined with geomechanical, wellbore-trajectory, and completion data sets to develop models that predict which stages will experience difficulties during completion.

A pilot project validates the use of an advanced polymerflooding technology on the Alaska North Slope.

The authors demonstrate that alternating injection of polymer and water is effective and economical for heavy oil fields, even offshore.

A study of a field case concludes that well spacing can be optimized by combing the information extracted from uncertainty and the interpolated maximum net present value.

This paper considers transportation safety and risk evaluation of liquefied natural gas, with emphasis on accidental release and vapor flame.

The paper describes the steps that have already been taken to create an industry-wide group that includes operators, class regulators, and service providers to agree on the primary challenges and to encourage development of practical solutions in a cost-efficient way.

Offset well-pressure measurements in the Permian Basin are analyzed to evaluate if a fracturing job is overstimulated.

Globally, the International Energy Agency forecasts a recovery in global demand for natural gas in 2021 led by growth in the Asia Pacific region as emerging markets recover. The US will continue to play a significant role as one of the largest producers and contributors to natural gas supply growth.

The paper describes the operator’s first implementation of fishbone stimulation technology, establishing a precedent for other fishbone candidate wells.
