Completions
Industry experts at URTeC assessed more than a decade of unconventional growth while discussing where productivity gains will come from next.
Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.
Weatherford CEO Girish K. Saligram said the acquisition will bolster Weatherford’s completions offerings and unconventional reservoir capabilities.

High oil prices will mean more spending on workovers to eke out more oil and gas from older wells. The amount will depend on finding those willing and able to do that tricky work. -
SponsoredAs world demand for energy increases, enhancing the efficiency of oil and gas production is key. Horizontal and multistage fracturing have made a huge difference in recovery. Fracturing fluids have played a key role in these gains—reducing costs and lessening fracture damage. Now fracturing fluids can be more sustainable as well, helping with your company’s ESG goals.

This paper presents a well-integrity-management system developed for a high-pressure/high-temperature gas field in southwest China.
-
The acquisition adds well completions services for conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
-
The deal resulted from the exercise of ConocoPhillips’ preemption right to acquire the stake when operator Origin Energy had intended to sell it to US energy investment firm EIG Global Energy Partners for $2.12 billion.
