Bakken shale

The authors of this paper compare case studies from the Bakken and the STACK plays to conclude that mineralogy, petrophysics, and reservoir-condition differences between basins cause differences in the effect of fracture-driven interactions.

Billionaire-founder boosts his original offer made in June to secure the deal.

The authors write that child-well performance increases with spacing and decreases with infill timing and that the parent cumulative production at child-well completion is an effective indicator of child-well performance.

Injecting gas plus water proved more effective and less costly than gas-only injection in the Bakken.

Cryptocurrency is not the only game in town when it comes to using natural gas at the wellhead to reduce flaring. There are self-driving cars, the coming “metaverse,” language processing, chat bots, and more, all of which require advanced computing and a lot of energy. The demand is driving an expansion of services for Crusoe Energy.

New research from Hess offers compelling evidence that two layers of tight rock can be treated as one and how passive wells can become oil producers.

A study in North Dakota found that respiratory illness increased as far as 60 miles away from flaring of natural gas.

The principles behind unconventional wells lead to production profiles very different from conventional wells. High initial-production rates drop to much lower rates in a matter of months or a few years. How many in the US are currently considered low-production-rate wells?

When it comes to produced water from US shale plays, it’s either recycle and reuse or throw it away—and both are easier said than done.

Selling reservoirs’ empty pore space may become a new, big business.
