Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The next wave of unconventional growth will likely come from basins in Argentina, the Middle East, Australia, and elsewhere, fueled by expertise gained from shale plays in North America.
Industry experts at URTeC assessed more than a decade of unconventional growth while discussing where productivity gains will come from next.
