The latest merger and acquisition report from Enverus Intelligence Research shows deal value fell 21% quarter over quarter.
This paper studies the effect of salinity and hardness on partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide rheology in sandstones with relevance to polymer flooding models and simulations.
The traditionally Oklahoma-centric producer adds new acreage in west Texas and New Mexico through a pair of purchases.

A lot has been learned about shale, but those working to eke out oil from that ultratight rock still extract more value from data than physics. -
Physics-based simulations plus machine-learning exercises are yielding a more comprehensive look at production volumes from unconventional assets.
-
Shale producers have learned in recent years that their fracture plugs may not be holding up as well as they thought. One of the first operators to realize the true scope of the issue is now sharing the pathway it took to solving it.
-
Success at the Fuling gas field in southwestern China will play a major role in the country's energy agenda.

The acquisition adds 2 or 3 years to Enerplus Corporation's development inventory, it said of the cash deal that follows its purchase of Bruin E&P earlier this year.
-
Asian markets continue to represent the leading edge of global economic growth, and with many of the international oil companies divested from the region, Southeast Asian operators in particular see themselves well positioned for the future.
