Reservoir
Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.
This article from the SPE Integrated Reservoir Management Technical Section (IRMTS) addresses decision timing across the reservoir cycle.
BP said it expects to keep the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) project in production into the 2040s by tapping into separate nonassociated gas reservoirs.

This study introduces a detailed model to capture the physics and chemistry of acid flow in complex horizontal wells completed in carbonate formations. -
The authors of this paper describe a project in which far-field diverters were pumped to mitigate wellbore sanding and production loss in existing parent wells.
-
The EOR scene has evolved as well. Low-salinity waterflooding, originally thought to apply only in certain sandstone reservoirs, appears to be able to unlock additional reserves also for some carbonate formations, although the fundamental mechanisms are different.

Engineers desperately need an alternative to acid placement through pipe, coiled tubing, or bullheading. For example, propellants have been around for years; however, their performance has not quite met the hype. Nevertheless, several case histories have been authored to suggest their efficacy; historically, some treatments have even been wildly successful.

The exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons from tight or shale formations have revolutionized the global energy landscape, unlocking vast oil and gas reserves previously considered inaccessible. This article intends to explore the complexities of hydrocarbon extraction from tight and shale reservoirs.

Rising natural gas production plus not enough takeaway capacity equals one big headache for west Texas producers
-
The Houston-based independent will become the top producer in the Eagle Ford Shale with an output of 400,000 BOE/D and is eyeing 1,000 wells to refracture.

Definition and call for participation in the 11th Society of Petroleum Engineers Comparative Solution Project, which is motivated by the immense challenge of achieving geological carbon storage at a scale that impacts significantly atmospheric emission of carbon dioxide.
-
The acquisition of SilverBow Resources gives Crescent Energy a pro forma output of 250,000 BOE/D.
