Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The paper presents successful field tests designed to decrease electrical-submersible-pump cooling rates by inducing controlled deadheads rather than shutting down the pumps.
Founded by former analytics experts for a large US independent, Xecta Digital Labs is proposing a new analysis method for horizontal wells. Adopting it means turning the page on some old habits.
This paper presents agile technologies that integrate data management, data-quality assessment, and predictive machine learning to maximize asset value using underused legacy core data.

The key element of hydraulic-fracture modeling is the prediction of the generated fracture geometries. Research conducted over the years has trickled down predictive software. Nevertheless, the ability to design optimal fracture treatments is hampered, as we cannot “see” the subsurface.
