The ultrasonic wellbore imaging firm is being taken over by Blackstone, the world's largest alternative asset manager.
This case study from Malaysia’s Petronas outlines a comprehensive review of perforation-charge testing across various tubular and reservoir conditions to help improve production from complex downhole scenarios.
This work evaluates CO2-based fracturing as a sustainable development approach for shale gas reservoirs in the Burgos Basin of Mexico.

This paper discusses novel acoustic techniques used to identify productive zones and areas of sand production in a well with a sanding event. -
SponsoredCase studies prove the benefits of choosing a greener, more efficient, and more powerful displacement system

When Occidental Resources switched to bigger fracture designs to produce more oil, it produced more water as well. Based on research done since, they cannot have one without the other, and at the oil prices recently seen, that’s OK.
-
The authors of this paper demonstrate that future produced-water management and scale-mineral control may need to consider the sequential exposure effect of steel, cement, and shale on fluid chemistry and mineral precipitation.

Pennsylvania children living near unconventional oil and gas developments at birth were two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with leukemia between the ages of 2 and 7 than those who did not live near this oil and gas activity, after accounting for other factors that could influence cancer risk, a novel study from the Yale School of Public Health finds.
-
Devon, Shell, and SM Energy offer some of their latest learnings from recent independent subsurface diagnostics projects. Their work underscores why this arena of technology has become a cornerstone for hydraulic-fracture design in tight-rock reservoirs.
-
This paper highlights solids-management technologies that are currently available and still in use topside (some of which are potentially outdated).
-
This paper describes a new intelligent dosing technology to reduce liquid loading in an unconventional tight gas reservoir.
-
The key element of hydraulic-fracture modeling is the prediction of the generated fracture geometries. Research conducted over the years has trickled down predictive software. Nevertheless, the ability to design optimal fracture treatments is hampered, as we cannot “see” the subsurface.

Second-quarter earnings for the three biggest oilfield service companies arrived with some new takes on where the market is headed.
