Reservoir

Thousands of horizontal wells that had been drilled but uncompleted (DUCs) offered a way to maintain production without the cost of drilling more wells, but that resource is finally running low.

The third quarter has so far not seen any mergers and acquisitions in the shale business that top $1 billion.

The application of an extended-release scale-inhibitor in approximately 70 vertical conventional wells in the Permian Basin has shown approximately three times better performance compared to the incumbent chemical.

The paper aims to determine the mechanisms of fracturing interference with multiwell pads in shale gas reservoirs and evaluate the effect of interwell fracturing interference on production.

The authors outline a case study involving the integration of static measurements to improve understanding of reservoir properties and support more-accurate reservoir evaluation.

The authors develop a representative geostatistically based 3D model that preserves geological elements and eliminates uncertainty of reservoir properties and volumetric estimates for a Libyan field.

The authors examine a theory that low resistivity in a Chinese reservoir is caused by bound water trapped in clay minerals and develop an improved model for production prediction of offset wells.

In this new decade, the prevalence of integration is at the forefront of the scientific community. Every discipline, scientist, or company has a way in which they define the term “integration.” Regardless of how you define the effort that links disciplines quantitatively, the importance of constraining subsurface characterization to link it to production results and d…

This paper reviews innovations and technologies used to make the Atlanta field in the Santos Basin a successful case of heavy-oil production in ultradeep water.

The authors write that cyclic gas injection enhanced oil recovery for Eagle Ford volatile oil can yield substantial increases in estimated ultimate recovery.
