Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.

SponsoredThe data that comes with mapping flow behavior at the stage level of unconventional wells was once accessible only through the installation of costly and intrusive diagnostic methodologies like fiber optic or running production logging. New-generation FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracer technology with subatomic spectroscopic measurement techniques now de… -
The authors of this paper analyze a robust, well-distributed parent/child well data set using a combination of available empirical data and numerical simulation outputs to develop a predictive machine-learning model.

This paper summarizes a collaborative industry study to compare observations between shale-play data sets and basins, develop general insights into parent/child interactions, and provide customized economic optimization recommendations.
-
In this paper, example machine-learning models were trained using geologic, completion, and spacing parameters to predict production across the primary developed formations within the Midland Basin.

New studies are a reminder that the effort to identify, classify, and nullify frac hits remains paramount to the future of the unconventionals business.
-
North Dakota's EERC argues that the suboptimal frac jobs of yesterday explain why fracture interactions boost production in the tight-oil play.

The transaction will add significant high-quality inventory offset to Permian Resources’ existing core acreage in New Mexico.
-
The acquisition of Crestwood Equity Partners extends Energy Transfer’s position deeper into the Williston and Permian basins and provides entry into the Powder River Basin.
