shale gas

This paper describes natural fractures and their effect on hydrocarbon productivity in the Vaca Muerta shale formation.

A pair of innovative field development strategies are helping tame the wild, wild Permian Basin.

In this second part of a two-part series on advances in artificial lift, we’ll look at the state of optimization and a trio of techniques and technologies under development or new to the market. Look for quarterly reviews of specific types of lift in upcoming issues in the new year.

This paper describes a high-density high-pressure/high-temperature brine-based drilling fluid that provides long-term stability and solids-suspension properties for extended periods of time.

Whether its onshore or offshore, China is OK with drilling deeper to secure new gas reserves.

In this first part of a two-part series, we look at how the artificial-lift sector has adapted to producing unconventional resources. The second part of the series to publish in November will crack open the lift toolbox to take a deeper look at the techniques and technologies under development or new to the market.

To combat rising prices ahead of winter, the UK will subsidize household energy costs and work to expand domestic energy supplies across the board.

In response to sustained global demand, the development of gas production technology continues unabated. The chain starts with enabling production from an ever-wider range of resources, including source rock (shale), coal-seam gas, deep offshore gas, contaminated gas, and methane-hydrate sediment or by maximizing recovery from existing reservoirs by enhanced-gas-recov…

The paper provides insights on diffusion in organic matter to correct a primary source of underestimation of gas production in shale-gas models.

A study of a limited number of decommissioned oil and gas wells in England found no evidence of methane leaks, including four wells found to be leaking in an earlier study.
