horizontal wells

US shale producers have stepped up their use of simultaneous fracturing techniques to cut costs and accelerate well delivery.

This paper highlights nontraditional methods to cure oil-based-mud losses in horizontal wells drilled in unconventional plays.

In the Marcellus, Repsol is slicing and dicing legacy data to evolve its completions strategy, while in the Permian, ExxonMobil is mastering the 4-mile lateral drillout using lessons learned.

Industry leaders champion collaborative solutions as essential for overcoming fracturing limitations.

Turnwell said it achieved a new well delivery time as it begins a massive contract to develop the UAE’s unconventional gas resources.

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.

This study highlights the strategic implementation of coiled tubing to convey perforating guns in extended-reach wells, overcoming the lockup effect through the deployment of downhole tractors and real-time monitoring tools.

This study introduces a detailed model to capture the physics and chemistry of acid flow in complex horizontal wells completed in carbonate formations.

This paper details a successful pilot to improve long-term well performance using acid stimulation aided by a tailored metal oxide nanoparticle-based fluid in the Wolfcamp A formation.
