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

The Permian Basin operator said the purchase ‘checks all the boxes’ it looks for in an acquisition.

Seven facilities design and public engagement principles are identified as key elements for the future oil and natural gas production facilities for the DJ Basin, and maybe even as a guide for other North American onshore shale basins.

The deal upon closing at year-end would expand Marathon’s position in the south Texas shale play by 130,000 net acres.

Billionaire-founder boosts his original offer made in June to secure the deal.

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.

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

The authors of this paper demonstrate that future produced-water management and scale-mineral control may need to consider the sequential exposure effect of steel, cement, and shale on fluid chemistry and mineral precipitation.

The South China Sea test could lead to a multibillion-barrel find.

This paper presents a work flow that has been applied to crossdipole sonic data acquired in a vertical pilot well drilled in the Permian Basin.
