Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of autonomous scale-management strategies implemented in the Buzios Field that eliminate the need for a well-service stimulation vessel by using existing facilities onboard the well rig.
This study presents applications involving the use of calcium carbonate particles for conformance improvement for CO2 water-alternating-gas injection in the operator’s Permian enhanced-oil-recovery projects.
Case studies from Devon Energy, ConocoPhillips, and others show how clever engineering and technology are being used to improve recovery and asset value.

This paper describes the stimulation of a horizontal water-injection well with a limited-entry-liner completion in an onshore carbonate reservoir using a large volume of viscoelastic diverter-acid fluid system ahead of the main acid stage. -
This paper details a successful pilot to improve long-term well performance using acid stimulation aided by a tailored metal oxide nanoparticle-based fluid in the Wolfcamp A formation.
-
This study introduces a detailed model to capture the physics and chemistry of acid flow in complex horizontal wells completed in carbonate formations.
-
The authors of this paper describe a project in which far-field diverters were pumped to mitigate wellbore sanding and production loss in existing parent wells.
-
This paper describes the application of an underbalanced coiled tubing technology in tight sandstones, using an integrative approach that incorporates petrophysical, geophysical, and reservoir engineering data.

Rising natural gas production plus not enough takeaway capacity equals one big headache for west Texas producers
-
The Houston-based independent will become the top producer in the Eagle Ford Shale with an output of 400,000 BOE/D and is eyeing 1,000 wells to refracture.
-
The acquisition of SilverBow Resources gives Crescent Energy a pro forma output of 250,000 BOE/D.
-
The new award accompanies the creation of an unconventional drilling subsidiary and potential equity deals with SLB and Patterson-UTI.
-
This paper describes the technical challenges of drilling and running casing in superlaterals in the Vaca Muerta unconventional play.
