Drilling
The agreement focuses on improving operational efficiency and consistency through advanced digital tools and real-time data integration.
An innovative approach uses a random-forest-based framework to link logging-while-drilling and multifrequencey seismic data to enable dynamic updates to lithology parameter predictions, enhancing efficiency and robustness of geosteering applications.
Oil and gas companies drilled 75 “high-impact” wells in 2024, representing 5.2 billion BOE.

The complete paper discusses the use of cumulative production ratio curves normalized to a given reference volume in time for different unconventional plays in North America to investigate the median trend for each play and the median ultimate recovery per play. -
In tectonically influenced regions, potential hydrocarbon traps are subject to complex states of stress. This scenario often translates into severe strike/slip (SS) and thrust-fault or reverse-fault (TF/RF) stress states.
