Regulators told some injection well operators close to the epicenter of a magnitude 4.0 earthquake that they will have to shut down their operations indefinitely.

The authors of this paper compare case studies from the Bakken and the STACK plays to conclude that mineralogy, petrophysics, and reservoir-condition differences between basins cause differences in the effect of fracture-driven interactions.

The previous wells in the program have exceeded type curve estimates.

The Oklahoma Corporation Commission approved an emergency order that allows oil producers to stop or reduce production without losing their leases for nonproduction.

Under the agreement, the Oklahoma City independent will monetize half of its working interest in 133 undrilled locations in the form of a $100-million drilling carry during the next 4 years.

Oklahoma regulators forced an oil and gas producer to reduce operations on a well used for disposing salt water following a large earthquake that set off a series of seismic activity in the state.

Oklahoma is tightening its rules for hydraulic fracturing after studying a new cluster of earthquakes in one of the hottest US regions for drilling.

An advisor at Newfield Exploration takes a closer look at the company’s water management operations in the Oklahoma STACK, as well as the lessons learned in its development.
