Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Operators struggle to understand proppant placement beyond the fracture, and that’s the information that could be the key to boosting EUR.
High-risk, high-reward projects focused on stimulation, enhanced recovery, and field-scale deployment are eligible under the DOE’s new UNLOCK initiative.
The Norwegian operators will collaborate on technology development, standardization, and well-stimulation solutions aimed at making tight oil and gas resources commercially viable in the NCS.

Technology developers expect the tight-oil industry to give lightweight proppants another look after the Permian Basin’s biggest operator becomes an adopter. -
This paper presents a study of trapped-torque incidents during drillpipe connection, highlighting contributing factors and root causes and proposing prevention and mitigation measures for these transient events.
-
In this study, a method was developed to analyze the effects of drilling through transitions on bit-cutting structures and construct an ideal drilling strategy using a detailed drilling model.
