The tie between US crude output and key indicators such as rig counts and the number of new wells has significantly weakened.

High-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) resources continue to be a focus of efforts to apply new technologies that maximize productivity while addressing concerns related to capital expenditure, operating expenses, and high drilling costs. These cost-effective technologies will only grow in importance in exploiting HP/HT and ultra-HP/HT fields.

This paper provides insights into the technical and economic viability of repurposing oil and gas wells for geothermal energy production for direct heating.

The Research Council of Norway’s $118,000 grant will support development of longer fishbone laterals to raise production while lowering carbon footprints.

New studies examine whether two innovative well designs should have a bigger role to play in the race to get more value out of tight rock reservoirs.

This paper addresses the challenges related to well control and the successful implementation of deep-transient-test operations in an offshore well in Southeast Asia carried out with the help of a dynamic well-control-simulation platform.

The authors of this paper propose an artificial-intelligence-assisted work flow that uses machine-learning techniques to identify sweet spots in carbonate reservoirs.

This paper describes an effort to use multiple technologies to better understand an Arkoma Basin reservoir and the interdisciplinary relationship between the reservoir’s subsurface hazards and a stimulation treatment.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between strain change and pressure change under various fractured reservoir conditions to better estimate conductive fractures and pressure profiles.

Fracturing companies can’t connect to the electric grid fast enough as they seek to reduce emissions, save costs.
