Reservoir
Viper Energy is acquiring Sitio Royalties Corp. and its more than 25,000 net acres of royalty interests across major US shale plays.
Extensive acreage overlap and existing operational collaboration drove the acquisition decision.
The authors of this paper describe a method of stimulating a multizone hydrocarbon-producing well wherein a tool is deployed downhole by wireline to generate acid vapor at a target depth, allowing each interval to be treated uniquely.

Executives from BKV Corp. share why the mid-sized natural gas producer is diving headfirst into carbon sequestration projects and why you should too. -
Recent technical papers have further shown the steady increase in the application of advanced seismic techniques and machine learning to mature to production “stranded” and “advantaged” hydrocarbon-bearing accumulations ; improve carbon capture, storage, and leak detection; and analyze naturally and artificially fractured reservoirs.

Well testing has enjoyed a recent uptick in activity and interest as operators continually realize the value in understanding and monitoring the dynamic performance of their reservoirs.

Uncertainty comes in all scales and dimensions. This challenges us to learn at all scales possible, from the fume hoods in the laboratory to magnificently exposed outcrops and through deep narrow boreholes that drill through subsurface reservoirs. The combined efforts often convert learnings to actionable intelligence.

Chevron has some new ideas on how to get more oil for less cost out of shale wells in their early years.

Casing deformations are common in the south-west shale regions of China and the Middle East, where the widespread use of 5.5-in., 26- and 26.8-lb/ft casing is the norm. In these regions, the majority of frac plugs are designed with an outer diameter (OD) of 4.055 in. or slightly larger, which frequently encounter restrictions resulting in the loss of bottomhole assemb…
