SponsoredIn oil and gas offices around the globe, the term digitalization prompts a range of responses. This white paper outlines a pragmatic approach to digitalization for oil and gas operators, with a focus on drilling and completion. -
Not all friction reducers are created equal. With dozens of varieties on the market, industry research suggests that oil and gas companies be choosy.
-
Average production from Bakken wells completed more than 3 years after they were drilled was approximately equal to wells drilled a year before they were put into service, according to a study by the US Energy Information Administration.
