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.
