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.
