Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Viper Energy is acquiring Sitio Royalties Corp. and its more than 25,000 net acres of royalty interests across major US shale plays.
Extensive acreage overlap and existing operational collaboration drove the acquisition decision.
Best practices are not static; they evolve alongside advancements that redefine what is achievable.

The Oklahoma City-based tight-oil producer has agreed to acquire Validus Energy.
-
Devon, Shell, and SM Energy offer some of their latest learnings from recent independent subsurface diagnostics projects. Their work underscores why this arena of technology has become a cornerstone for hydraulic-fracture design in tight-rock reservoirs.
-
This paper presents a work flow that has been applied to crossdipole sonic data acquired in a vertical pilot well drilled in the Permian Basin.
-
This paper describes a new intelligent dosing technology to reduce liquid loading in an unconventional tight gas reservoir.
-
The paper provides insights on diffusion in organic matter to correct a primary source of underestimation of gas production in shale-gas models.
-
This paper presents a mathematical analysis of how incorrect estimates of initial reservoir pressure may affect rate-transient analysis in ultralow-permeability reservoirs.
-
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.
