Production
The supermajor said the fields are not expected to contribute meaningfully to its production profile by 2030.
This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of using advanced integrated production-data-analysis techniques for condensate-rich tight gas fields.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.

This paper focuses on a fit-for-purpose methodology to evaluate well-production performance for a wide range of artificial-lift techniques. -
This paper presents an artificial-lift selection process to maximize the value of unconventional oil and gas assets.
-
This study presents a methodology to define the most-adequate artificial-lift technique on the basis of technical limitations, a suitability coefficient (based on an attributes table), and economic analysis toward horizontal well configuration.
-
In unconventional plays, comparing the effect of different completion designs or well-management strategies on well performance remains a challenge because of the relatively brief production history and lack of long-term field analogs of these plays.
-
With multistage operations becoming the industry norm, operators need easily deployable diversion technologies that will protect previously stimulated perforations and enable addition of new ones. This paper reviews several aspects of the use of in-stage diversion.

With Over 200 Shale Well Installs, This Slug-Smoothing Lift Technology Is Boosted By Schlumberger JVSlug flow has made the life of an unconventional production engineer a bit complicated, but a new downhole technology may smooth things right out by solving some big artificial lift problems for the shale sector.
-
The implementation of chemical EOR has proven successful but the method faces significant technical and financial challenges.
-
A coiled-tubing selective perforating and activation system that transmits critical downhole data and measurements in real time is enabling well interventions that previously could not have been executed.
-
Tight formations are candidates for hydraulic fracturing as the default. However, the solubility of carbonate by various chemicals provides opportunities to extend the well drainage radius effectively without the intensive equipment, material, and infrastructure demand of hydraulic fracturing.

OPEC has renewed its effort to prop up global crude prices, but the impact may also drive US production higher.
