Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The UAE project is expected to produce up to 345 MMscf/D by 2029, with expansion potential to 1 Bcf/D.
This study investigates the potential for in-situ hydrogen generation from hydrocarbons using in-situ combustion, with particular emphasis on the role of kerogen content and heating mode.
This paper presents the application of degradable particulate-diverter technology to improve oil production by effectively diverting stimulation treatment fluids away from high-water-cut, high-permeability, high-temperature producing intervals or zones.

A novel approach uses the heart-shaped signal in low-frequency distributed acoustic sensing measurements to estimate the hydraulic fracture tip distance before the hydraulic fracture intersects the monitor well, offering critical insight into the characterization of hydraulic fracture propagation. -
At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.

The Denver-based independent is boosting its position in the Canadian shale play by 109,000 net acres, and about 70,000 BOE/D.
-
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.
