horizontal wells

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.

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.
