Fracturing/pressure pumping
This paper describes an approach to creating a digital, interconnected workspace that aligns sensor data with operational context to place the completions engineer back into a central role.
This paper demonstrates how the integration of multiphysics downhole imaging with machine-learning techniques provides a significant advance in perforation-erosion analysis.
This paper presents a workflow that leverages a multiagent conversational system to integrate data, analytics, and domain expertise for improved completion strategies.

ConocoPhillips’ one-of-a-kind test site in the Eagle Ford studied core, image logs, proppant tracer, distributed temperature sensing, distributed acoustic sensing, and pressure, which shows that not all hydraulic fractures are created equal.

For the past 20 years, the diagnostic fracture injection test has been used across the frontlines of the shale revolution to paint a picture of what cannot be seen. However, that picture has not always been so clear in the eyes of subsurface engineers.

Earthquakes caused by hydraulic fracturing are more common in the Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas than previously thought, a new study reveals.
-
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is cracking down on oil producers by halting the approval of hundreds of hydraulic fracturing permits until independent scientists can review them.

New research links a rise in seismic activity in West Texas with increased oil and gas development over the past 20 years and, in particular, the past decade.

Fluid saturation isn't what it used to be when it comes to unconventional reservoirs. Our guest is among those sharing new research to discuss the shale sector’s changing perspectives on the importance of mobile hydrocarbons vs. immobile hydrocarbons.

The decision comes 2 months after UK shale operator Cuadrilla Resources halted stimulation work at its Preston New Road site in Lancashire because of a magnitude 2.9 seismic event.
