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.

Advances during the past decade in using convolutional neural networks for visual recognition of discriminately different objects means that now object recognition can be achieved to a significant extent. -
Engineers thrive on making more from less, and this month’s paper selections highlight efforts to improve the efficiency of gas-production operations throughout the world.
-
When a plug gets stuck in a well, consider the cause. Often stuck fracturing tools are a warning sign of casing trouble. Companies that have investigated plug problems have been surprised by the findings.
-
Though shelved by low oil prices, the plan to execute the largest enhanced oil recovery program of its kind offers insights into what it may take for the shale sector to escape pilot mode and scale up gas huff ’n’ puff operations.

Automated image-processing algorithms can improve the quality and speed in classifying the morphology of heterogeneous carbonate rock. Several commercial products have produced petrophysical properties from 2D images and, to a lesser extent, from 3D images.
-
With reduced new unconventional well activity, practices such as frac-hit mitigation—pressurization of parent wells during child-well fracture stimulation—have become increasingly important to reduce parent-well proppant cleanouts as well as to maximize production from both parent and child wells.
-
The complete paper discuses a well with a history of sand production that exhibits long cyclic slugging behavior.
-
This latest find means the offshore driller has averaged at least three new discoveries each year since it began drilling offshore Guyana where it plans to recover up to 8 billion barrels of crude.
-
Unconventional producers around the world have been hamstrung by expensive and cumbersome options when it comes to obtaining reservoir data. Among the latest ways to break past these barriers is a new method developed by Canadian researchers and field tested in Australia’s unconventional frontier.

Before the giant Johan Sverdrup field had produced even one barrel of oil, operator Equinor and its license partners set a recovery ambition of greater than 70% for the field.
