Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Casing deformation has emerged as a major challenge in China’s unconventional oil and gas fields, prompting the development of new solutions to address the issue.
The US supermajor is using one of its lowest-value hydrocarbon products to generate double-digit production increases in its most prolific US asset.
The transaction adds 267,000 net acres and nearly 140,000 BOE/D from Vital Energy, lifting Crescent into the top 10 largest US independents.

This study describes a technique combining borehole acoustic reflection imaging with production logging in a horizontal well experiencing high water cut with the aim of enabling a mitigation plan. -
The authors investigate the utility of applying unconventional technology to low- or variably producing carbonate reservoirs to increase estimated ultimate recovery and decrease development-scale variability.
-
Unconventional reservoirs bear a unique perplexity in that, at every scale, they are different from their conventional counterparts and even one another. This month’s selection of papers is all about those differences.
-
The acquisition underscores the rapid rise of the unconventional oil play in northeastern Utah that producers claim offers better margins than the Permian Basin.
-
Pilots and papers are plentiful, but the shale sector has no big enhanced oil recovery projects to speak of. It may just have to stay that way for a while.
-
Operators tell an audience at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference how a hybrid expandable liner system and machine-learning-based analysis improve the bottom line.
-
After another year of significant consolidation in the US shale sector, Enverus has released its annual list of the nation's largest private exploration companies.
-
Machine learning is refining gas lift production optimization with scalable automated workflow.
-
The Permian’s produced-water challenge presents an opportunity for innovation to pave the way toward a more sustainable future for the industry.
