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.

SponsoredWellbore deformation can occur at any stage in the life of a well. Whether a result of changes in temperature, pressure or tectonic forces, wellbore deformation may result in serious downhole issues such as restricted access for interventions or the loss of well integrity that may ultimately lead to premature well abandonment and significantly reduced economic perform… -
SponsoredExtended reach wells provide access to otherwise inaccessible areas, improve production and reduce footprint. Advancements in completion technology allow producers to eliminate coiled tubing, perforation guns and milling out operations to lower project risks, costs, and environmental impact.
