The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas’ fourth-quarter energy survey shows that oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty are curbing enthusiasm heading into the new year.
A field test study examines micro turbine drilling in a clay formation that allows steel casing and formation to be drilled in a single operation.
Aurora Innovation and Detmar Logistics have inked a deal for 30 autonomous trucks that will begin hauling sand in the region next year.
-
Two US test sites have fractured hot, dry rock with plans to create a network of fractures for water heating. They will soon find out if the fractures worked as expected. -
A high-resolution acoustic downhole evaluation system nabs top award for 2023.
-
This article presents a new data-driven analysis to locate low-frequency seismic sources, referred to as near-infrasound or infrasound sources. Combining these infrasound signals with microseismicity signals allows for better characterization and monitoring of the stimulated reservoir volume.
-
Fracturing hot rock to create a geological water-heating system is like fracturing an oil well, but for a different purpose, so is proppant really necessary?
-
When confronted by extremely hot wells drilled into hard rock, engineers start looking for new tools and then ask, is there a cheaper option?
-
EcoShield also reduces carbon footprint of well construction over traditional cement systems.
-
From refracturing old wells to ones that don’t have to be fractured at all, notable producers argue that experiments are paying off.
-
Over 1,000 hours of remotely monitored continuous production was achieved on an unmanned platform—a first for standalone offshore solids management in the North Sea.
-
The authors of this paper describe the development of a continuous monitoring solution throughout its deployment.
-
The SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition is being held 31 January–2 February in The Woodlands, Texas.
