The authors write that child-well performance increases with spacing and decreases with infill timing and that the parent cumulative production at child-well completion is an effective indicator of child-well performance.

The paper presents results of single-phase and multiphase electrical-submersible-pump tests as well as operation data, lessons learned, and failure examples gathered over 10 years of operation in a highly viscous offshore oilfield.

The authors of this paper propose a novel approach to data-driven modeling for transient production of oil wells.

Injecting gas plus water proved more effective and less costly than gas-only injection in the Bakken.

In this first part of a two-part series, we look at how the artificial-lift sector has adapted to producing unconventional resources. The second part of the series to publish in November will crack open the lift toolbox to take a deeper look at the techniques and technologies under development or new to the market.

Houston-based startup Cemvita Factory uses its hydrogen-producing microbes downhole to considerably lower the cost of hydrogen production.

Digital systems are helping ensure US independent Diversified Energy continues to grow and optimize production from its mature assets.

The Sydney-based company announced it will also seek to exit all of its upstream permits with the exception of its major LNG joint venture.

ADNOC awarded a new round of contracts to international service companies, intending to apply directional drilling and LWD to boost production by getting a better assessment of its reservoirs.

When Occidental Resources switched to bigger fracture designs to produce more oil, it produced more water as well. Based on research done since, they cannot have one without the other, and at the oil prices recently seen, that’s OK.
