Fracturing/pressure pumping
Operators struggle to understand proppant placement beyond the fracture, and that’s the information that could be the key to boosting EUR.
High-risk, high-reward projects focused on stimulation, enhanced recovery, and field-scale deployment are eligible under the DOE’s new UNLOCK initiative.
The Seismos full-scale research center opens to industry, universities, and national laboratories, advancing acoustic sensing across upstream energy, pipelines, critical infrastructure, and national security.
