Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Beetaloo Energy and Halliburton have signed an MOU to advance Beetaloo Digital, a proposed gas-powered AI data center hub in Australia’s Northern Territory that could create a new long-term market for Beetaloo Basin gas.
The ultrasonic wellbore imaging firm is being taken over by Blackstone, the world's largest alternative asset manager.
This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
-
Average output reached 13.6 million BOPD, extending a period of sustained growth that has kept the US at the forefront of global oil production. -
The events will be co-located 3–5 May 2027 at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.
-
This paper presents a novel approach to predict reservoir porosity by conditioning seismic data, calibrating seismic impedance inversion, and tailoring rock-physics analysis.
-
This paper presents findings reinforcing the argument that acid fracturing is a strong alternative stimulation method to improve productivity in the Austin Chalk formation.
-
This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of using advanced integrated production-data-analysis techniques for condensate-rich tight gas fields.
-
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
-
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.
-
This year’s selected papers showcase meaningful advances across condensate‑rich tight gas, tight sandstone, and coalbed methane reservoirs, each contributing new tools for improving predictability and field-development efficiency.
-
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
-
The next wave of unconventional growth will likely come from basins in Argentina, the Middle East, Australia, and elsewhere, fueled by expertise gained from shale plays in North America.
