The chief operating officer of Chesapeake Energy tells the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference that small wins can pave the path to big achievements.

The second major deal in the US proppant industry this year will see US Silica go forward as a private company.

A 44-well development tests what ConocoPhillips has learned about maximizing the value of the wells by figuring out how they drain the reservoir.

Chevron has some new ideas on how to get more oil for less cost out of shale wells in their early years.

Casing deformations are common in the south-west shale regions of China and the Middle East, where the widespread use of 5.5-in., 26- and 26.8-lb/ft casing is the norm. In these regions, the majority of frac plugs are designed with an outer diameter (OD) of 4.055 in. or slightly larger, which frequently encounter restrictions resulting in the loss of bottomhole assemb…

This paper adds to ongoing research in hydrogen storage, focusing on efficient extraction of hydrogen to be stored potentially in depleted unconventional formations.

A recent wave of megadeals is weighing on the mind of many oil and gas executives in Texas, New Mexico, and Louisiana.

A case study presented at ATCE took medical science to a new low—into the depths of the Permian Basin for application to downhole reservoir drainage diagnostics.

The authors of this paper analyze a robust, well-distributed parent/child well data set using a combination of available empirical data and numerical simulation outputs to develop a predictive machine-learning model.

In this paper, example machine-learning models were trained using geologic, completion, and spacing parameters to predict production across the primary developed formations within the Midland Basin.
