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.

A new plan to secure electricity for the powerhouse of Texas oil and gas will cost billions of dollars to achieve. -
New names and new deals continue to reshape the US shale sector.

This paper presents a novel modeling framework for predicting residual oil saturation in carbonate rocks. The proposed framework uses supervised machine learning models trained on data generated by pore-scale simulations and aims to supplement conventional coreflooding tests or serve as a tool for rapid residual oil saturation evaluation of a reservoir.

One hydraulic fracturing job can stimulate two wells, but economic success hinges on doing it in the right place for the right price.

This paper presents a multidisciplinary view of the evolution of a development project for the central area of Sururu and the method applied to address challenges and propose solutions.
-
This paper assesses the potential of augmented depletion development in four US plays: Bakken, Eagle Ford, Midland, and the Anadarko Basin.
-
Rig counts are down since 2023, but well productivity is marching forward.
-
The deal comes only weeks after the private equity firm purchased a natural gas-fired plant operator.
-
This paper describes a data-driven approach for liquid-loading detection and prediction that harnesses high-frequency gas-rate and tubinghead-pressure measurements to identify the onset of liquid loading and correct critical rates computed by empirical methods.
-
This paper outlines the importance of numerical rate transient analysis for dry gas wells, describing a simple, fully penetrating planar fracture model.
