horizontal wells

This paper presents a case study of a tool-free fishbone fracture stimulation technology using sand jetting and acidizing in openhole wells, providing a technical solution for low-permeability and complex-lithology carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East.

This paper presents a novel approach to overcoming extended-reach limitations in coiled tubing interventions by using a split-string system, demonstrating measurable improvements in reach and operational speed in laterals exceeding 3 miles.

A Chinese operator in the Sichuan Basin used high‑frequency pressure monitoring to evaluate frac performance in unconventional wells.

Operators aren’t rushing to drill, even as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz drives oil prices up.

The US Department of Energy and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will convert a horizontal Utica Shale gas well into an enhanced geothermal system. Building directly on horizontal drilling and completion practices developed in the Utica, the project will include evaluation of optimal well orientation, lateral placement, and spacing.

Oman is embarking on a renewed effort to deploy the latest hydraulic fracturing technologies and techniques, tailored to its unique reservoirs and challenges.

The operator estimates discovering more than 96 million BOE of recoverable volumes with its latest Norwegian North Sea exploration activity.

This study aims to thoroughly assess the influence of various completions, fracturing stimulation, and intrinsic reservoir properties affecting the productivity of 10 major unconventional plays while uncovering insights and trends unique to each play.

The authors of this paper write that autonomous outflow-control devices can positively affect matrix acidizing by providing the best possible conformance.
