Reservoir
Industry experts at URTeC assessed more than a decade of unconventional growth while discussing where productivity gains will come from next.
The technology has passed its first phase of qualification, with 84 nodes placed on the seafloor at a depth of 2,000 m to acquire 4D seismic data in the pre-salt Santos Basin.
Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.

The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and Equinor have announced the biggest discovery so far this year on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Three wildcat wells drilled in the Blasto prospect near the Fram field confirmed the find and were then permanently plugged and abandoned. -
Emerging three-axis microgravity technology has the potential to provide reservoir information not obtainable from other forms of data acquisition

Algorithms are taking over the world, or so we are led to believe, given their growing pervasiveness in multiple fields of human endeavor such as consumer marketing, finance, design and manufacturing, health care, politics, and sports. The focus of this article is to examine where things stand in regard to the application of these techniques for managing subsurface en…

The two-well stimulation approach is delivering big savings to first adopters. A new report from Rystad highlights how the development is taking shape.
-
The US oil giant is launching a new business unit that will boost its ability to reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions along with those of other industries.
-
An openhole advanced formation-evaluation approach is presented that enables assessment of tight-matrix and natural-fracture systems at a level not previously accomplished.
-
The authors develop an innovative machine-learning method to determine salt structures directly from gravity data.
