Fracturing/pressure pumping
This paper discusses the development of a multientry, multistage fracturing system and its advantages over traditional openhole multistage fracturing solutions.
In the Marcellus, Repsol is slicing and dicing legacy data to evolve its completions strategy, while in the Permian, ExxonMobil is mastering the 4-mile lateral drillout using lessons learned.
Two new studies from completions experts suggest the global upstream industry has a major opportunity in medium-quality reservoirs.
