Industry leaders champion collaborative solutions as essential for overcoming fracturing limitations.
-
Three graduate students have received the 2025 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition Outstanding Graduate Student Award.
-
Regional pore-pressure variations in the Leonardian- and Wolfcampian-age producing strata in the Midland and Delaware basins are studied using a variety of subsurface data.
-
The authors of this paper present a novel joint-domain full waveform inversion framework optimizing travel-time accuracy in both data and model domains.

As reservoir complexity and energy-transition demands grow, the industry is developing new logging technologies, integrating multidisciplinary functions, and conducting new experiments to address new challenges. This Technology Focus highlights three papers from conventional, unconventional, and carbon-storage projects.
-
The main goal of this research work was to determine subseismic faults and fracture corridors and their characteristics, including density and orientation, for a Paleocene fractured carbonate reservoir.
-
In this paper, an energy-based 3D fracture-reconstruction method is proposed to derive the complex fracture network from microseismic data in a shale gas reservoir.
