unconventional resources

Major increases in hydrocarbon production require both incremental and revolutionary technologies, industry leaders said during the SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference.

Big projects are expected to add oil and gas to the energy mix in some regions while maturing basins contribute to drops in other areas.

Field results highlight how rethinking tubing-anchor-catcher design can reduce gas interference and support late-life production.

The $100-billion project is widely considered the largest unconventional development outside of the US and is noted by Aramco as the largest nonassociated gas development in the kingdom.

A new tubing-conveyed tool combines wellbore cleanout with multi-tracer deployment for production diagnostics and reservoir monitoring.

The leaders of US oil and gas companies in Texas and neighboring states cite regulatory uncertainty, tariffs, and volatile prices as drags on activity.

The SPE International Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition opens with calls to adapt technology while addressing regional realities.

Nearly 90% of investment since 2019 has gone to replacing lost production, with $570 billion in spending projected for 2025.

This comprehensive study on microbial control in unconventional facilities allows for the integration of molecular microbiology, chemical treatments, and production engineering to develop specific strategies to control microbial communities and reduce corrosion rates that affect the integrity of the facilities.

Tight oil and gas producers in the US are pulling back faster than expected as oil prices stagnate and produced water management constraints grow.
