Completions
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.
By integrating experimental and mathematical modeling approaches, this work aims to advance the understanding of sand-detachment dynamics and formation instability under varying saturation conditions.

The rising oil production and produced water volumes in the Permian are expanding the scope and scale of recycling. Apache is targeting 50% of its frac water to be made up from recycled produced water this year. -
Analysts at Rystad Energy, an oil and gas consulting and business intelligence data firm, anticipate a strong year ahead for North American shale oil producers.

Drilling and completion expenditure and activity is projected to show multiyear double-digit growth from 2018–2022 despite a flattening of rig count increases.

A recent study found that female mice exposed during prenatal development to chemicals used in unconventional oil and gas operations had abnormal mammary glands in adulthood.

Did you know that fracturing is not permitted in parts of the Middle East? And it has been that way for a long time.

A professor who the EPA charged with reviewing its 2016 study on hydraulic fracturing’s possible drinking water impacts shared her observations on the flawed process that led to the agency’s final conclusion.

Good reservoir detective work costs money, but two studies show how it can help identify even more expensive problems.

Shale operators are working harder to get as much out of new wells as they did from older ones nearby.
-
Widely held images of what happens when a well is fractured often bear little resemblance to what actually happens underground.
