Unconventional/complex reservoirs

This paper presents a specialized workflow that aims to quantify the severity of condensate banking and subsequently optimize reservoir development strategies for a deep formation in the Permian Basin.

This paper describes numerical modeling studies of fracture-driven interactions using a coupled hydraulic-fracturing-propagation, reservoir-flow, and geomechanics tool.

This case study outlines a methodology to optimize and control hydraulic fracturing parameters by achieving 100% cluster efficiency and overcoming formation leak-off.

Machine learning and a decade of gas composition records helped the operator identify wells that were most likely to produce paraffins.

The third quarter marked the first reporting period that two publicly traded US oil and gas companies did not combine since 2022.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the 2025 SPE/JPT Drilling and Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Review. This exclusive, official publication will be distributed at three major SPE industry events.

Canadian Natural Resources strengthens its position as a leading oil and gas producer in Canada.

The agreement formalizes JV ownership of Turnwell Industries which ADNOC Drilling created to manage a $1.7 billion unconventional drilling contract awarded in May.

Oil and gas leaders identified the upcoming US presidential election and economic uncertainty as significant drivers of their decision making for 2025.

Over the past 75 years, drillers have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age when it comes to technological improvements in well construction methods. Yesterday’s crude wood and iron drilling techniques have given way to today’s video game-inspired controls and robotic assistance—much of which migrated from offshore applications. These advancements have driven costs…
