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.
-
Two of the most established US independents are combining to form a natural gas powerhouse that will be given a new name later this year. -
Startup company LongPath Technologies has received conditional federal financing to install 1,000 methane detection towers spanning multiple US states.
-
Houston-based independents will combine to form a company with a production total above 500,000 BOE/D and valued at $21 billion.

This paper describes a revamped methodology for field-development strategy formulation, particularly for marginal hydrocarbon resources, by shifting the mindset toward designing with an aim to value in order to improve project viability.
-
The authors of this paper present an advanced dual-porosity, dual-permeability (A-DPDK) work flow that leverages benefits of discrete fracture and DPDK modeling approaches.
-
This paper adds to ongoing research in hydrogen storage, focusing on efficient extraction of hydrogen to be stored potentially in depleted unconventional formations.
-
This study presents a novel approach to screen thermally stable surfactants at high pressures and high temperatures for the explicit purpose of wettability alteration in the operator’s Eagle Ford acreage.
-
The authors of this paper develop an integrated technical approach that can be used to unlock one of the largest undeveloped resources in an operator’s portfolio.
-
Highlights of innovations in fracturing, drilling, and reservoir engineering include mysterious gummy bears, horseshoe-shaped wells, and automated rigs.
