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.
-
The implementation of fishbone stimulation helped to more than double estimated well productivity and tripled the production rate in a tight carbonate reservoir well compared with conventional stimulation during initial testing. -
When fracturing, simply shooting all the perforations at the same spot in the casing can offer increased production at a low cost.
-
The all-stock transaction is expected to bolster the newly created operator's production profile to around 160,000 BOE/D.
-
Oil isn’t going away, but that misses the fact that a demand plateau will structurally change the industry for people and companies in the most geologically mature areas, especially the United States.
-
A lot has been learned about shale, but those working to eke out oil from that ultratight rock still extract more value from data than physics.
-
Physics-based simulations plus machine-learning exercises are yielding a more comprehensive look at production volumes from unconventional assets.
-
Shale producers have learned in recent years that their fracture plugs may not be holding up as well as they thought. One of the first operators to realize the true scope of the issue is now sharing the pathway it took to solving it.
-
Success at the Fuling gas field in southwestern China will play a major role in the country's energy agenda.
-
The acquisition adds 2 or 3 years to Enerplus Corporation's development inventory, it said of the cash deal that follows its purchase of Bruin E&P earlier this year.
-
A look behind-the-scenes reveals what it takes to protect innovative ideas in the fast-moving US shale sector—key lessons learned, pitfalls to avoid, and how to do it the right way, as told by two of the operator's intellectual property (IP) protection leaders.
