Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.
This paper presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.

In the past decades, the success of unconventional hydrocarbon resource development can be attributed primarily to the improved understanding of fracture systems, including both hydraulically induced fractures and natural fracture networks. To tackle the fracture characterization problem, several recent papers have provided novel insight into fracture modeling techniq… -
Insights from an ongoing industry study on North American shale wells help explain what frac hits, or fracture-driven interactions, are doing between offset wells, and why.

SponsoredShell needed an easy-to-use, simple well monitoring solution. Could an IoT wireless solution measure up to a classic wired approach?
-
The pressure pumping business has been looking up this year, but the price paid to buy a big player in that business, FTS International, suggests growth may not last.
-
The deal represents what will become the second deployment of an all-electric fracturing fleet built by Halliburton and with power supplied by VoltaGrid's microgrid technology.
-
This paper presents lessons learned and best practices from several chemical sand-consolidation and sand-agglomeration treatments performed in mature fields in Malaysia.
-
Flow rate is a major challenge for geothermal. However, the techniques used in shale to prevent flow localization can be applied directly to geothermal. If we can create hundreds or thousands of flowing fracture pathways around a horizontal or deviated geothermal well, then we will have truly “changed the game.”
-
This paper presents the lessons learned from optimizing sand control and management strategies of an offshore sandstone oil field offshore Nigeria after multiple sanding events and well failures.
-
Friction reducers play multiple critical roles in fracturing. A challenge in selecting the best one for the job is the growing evidence that performance varies, but objective performance measurements are lacking.
-
Few industries contain as many phases, steps, and levels of interface between the start and end product as the oil and gas industry. It therefore is hardly surprising that communication, in all its varied forms, is at the very heart of our business.
