Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The company credited its theory of shale oil enrichment for the significant increase in the quantity of proven reserves at the field.
This work investigates the root cause of strong oil/water emulsion and if sludge formation is occurring within the reservoir using a robust integrated approach.
In this work, a perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory equation of state has been developed to characterize heavy-oil-associated systems containing polar components and nonpolar components with respect to phase behavior and physical properties.

The authors of this paper analyze a robust, well-distributed parent/child well data set using a combination of available empirical data and numerical simulation outputs to develop a predictive machine-learning model. -
This paper summarizes a collaborative industry study to compare observations between shale-play data sets and basins, develop general insights into parent/child interactions, and provide customized economic optimization recommendations.

In this paper, example machine-learning models were trained using geologic, completion, and spacing parameters to predict production across the primary developed formations within the Midland Basin.

The transaction will add significant high-quality inventory offset to Permian Resources’ existing core acreage in New Mexico.
-
The acquisition of Crestwood Equity Partners extends Energy Transfer’s position deeper into the Williston and Permian basins and provides entry into the Powder River Basin.
-
The challenge of sustaining shale production is growing larger.
