This paper reviews fracturing-program design, completion technology, real-time data collection, data integration, and lessons learned for the Pikka development on the North Slope of Alaska.

The paper describes a project in which extremely challenging stimulations were performed in a fractured tight carbonate in a complex strike/slip stress faulting regime with high tectonic stresses.

This study reveals how production-induced depletion and geomechanical stress changes influence child-well performance in the Midland Basin, combining coupled simulations and machine learning to guide optimal well spacing, timing, and placement for infill development.

This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for carbon-dioxide storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells.

The objective of this paper is to apply a developed workflow to determine the propped hydraulic fracture geometry in a horizontal multistage fractured well, incorporating production, pressure, and strain data.

This paper describes an automated workflow that helps mitigate sanding caused by excessive drawdown by determining the minimum tubinghead pressure.

Developing the theory of mechanical specific energy from the perspective of instantaneous drilling power rather than the compressive strength of the formation leads to an improved understanding of drill-bit mechanical efficiency.

The new lab expands the company's capabilities in the region by 20% by adding more than 30 testing stations.

A proposed integrated workflow aims to guide prediction and mitigating solutions to reduce casing-deformation risks and improve stimulation efficiency.

This paper describes a full-field and near-wellbore poromechanics coupling scheme used to model productivity-index degradation against time.
