Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The $1.3-billion deal targets DJ Basin assets producing 35,000 BOEPD, and Japex aims to increase that output to 50,000 BOEPD around 2030.
The $100-billion project is widely considered the largest unconventional development outside of the US and is noted by Aramco as the largest nonassociated gas development in the kingdom.
Technology developers expect the tight-oil industry to give lightweight proppants another look after the Permian Basin’s biggest operator becomes an adopter.

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.
-
The Dallas-based tight oil producer will gain 33,500 acres and approximately 25,500 BOE/D from the latest deal to reshape the US shale sector.
