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.
Data mining techniques are unlocking new insights from the performance of thousands of Bakken wells. This article explores how those insights are helping refine completion optimization.
-
In this study, the application of electrical resistance heating on multilateral wells is studied to illustrate the enhanced physical and economic benefits of the method. -
The combined company will control almost 1 million acres in the Williston Basin and daily production over 165,000 BOE/D.
-
The authors discuss a production strategy in which high-gas/oil-ratio crude can be injected into the upper oil reservoirs with partial pressure depletion to achieve production enhancement and synergy among reservoirs.
-
The paper provides information to engineers for selecting high-viscosity friction reducers and describes a methodology for evaluating damage potential and proppant transport.
-
The principles behind unconventional wells lead to production profiles very different from conventional wells. High initial-production rates drop to much lower rates in a matter of months or a few years. How many in the US are currently considered low-production-rate wells?
-
The authors describe the benefits of a single-phase retarded inorganic acid system, which they write features the same benefits as emulsified acids while eliminating the drawbacks of the latter.
-
The paper presents the challenges faced and overcome while drilling and testing a high-pressure/high-temperature sour-gas well offshore in an environmentally sensitive environment.
-
This paper presents a novel sandstone-stimulation technique using thermochemical fluids.
-
This paper presents a well-integrity-management system developed for a high-pressure/high-temperature gas field in southwest China.
