completions design

One hydraulic fracturing job can stimulate two wells, but economic success hinges on doing it in the right place for the right price.

The new frontier of production improvement combines surveillance techniques and analysis to determine which variables boost output.

Operators tell an audience at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference how a hybrid expandable liner system and machine-learning-based analysis improve the bottom line.

BKV Corp. has combined bullhead and liner refracturing methods to create an approach called the hybrid expandable liner system.

This paper describes an intelligent completion design installed in two deepwater wells with dual-zone stack-pack sand-control lower completions and the installation of an intermediate string to isolate the reservoir in each zone.

This paper compiles recommendations from a broad range of sources into a single document to aid future intelligent-completion installations and operations.

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

Advanced machine-learning methods combined with aspects of game theory are helping operators understand the drivers of water production and improve forecasting and economics in unconventional basins.
