Devon Energy

The deal significantly expands the company’s position in the Bakken Shale play of North Dakota.

This paper’s focus is a case study of an Eagle Ford refracturing project in which a range of completion designs were trialed with an approach using offset sealed wellbore pressure monitoring and fiber-optic strain.

Devon Energy along with petroleum engineering consulting and software firm Whitson and cloud computing company Snowflake developed a system to monitor the dynamics of 5,000 wells.

The authors of this paper describe a project in which Raleigh frequency-shift distributed strain sensing monitored during production in a far-field observation well was translated to an estimated pressure profile.

Data and AI will change our industry for the better. At the root of this change will be the empowerment of engineers to make better decisions.

The trend in fracturing designs has been longer stages with more perforation clusters, which save time and money. But there are a couple of companies testing whether shorter is better for production.

The large US shale producer has officially entered into the renewable energy sector with its largest venture investment yet.

From refracturing old wells to ones that don’t have to be fractured at all, notable producers argue that experiments are paying off.

The Oklahoma City-based tight-oil producer has agreed to acquire Validus Energy.

Devon, Shell, and SM Energy offer some of their latest learnings from recent independent subsurface diagnostics projects. Their work underscores why this arena of technology has become a cornerstone for hydraulic-fracture design in tight-rock reservoirs.
