Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Major increases in hydrocarbon production require both incremental and revolutionary technologies, industry leaders said during the SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference.
Enverus projects 2026 activity aimed at gaining access to gas along the Gulf coast and disaggregation of assets.
The all-stock transaction will create one of the largest shale producers in the US, anchored by a major Delaware Basin position.

ADNOC awarded a new round of contracts to international service companies, intending to apply directional drilling and LWD to boost production by getting a better assessment of its reservoirs. -
When Occidental Resources switched to bigger fracture designs to produce more oil, it produced more water as well. Based on research done since, they cannot have one without the other, and at the oil prices recently seen, that’s OK.

The authors of this paper use a pattern-review technique in a complex brownfield as a tool to understand reservoir connectivity and dynamic fluid movements across the field.
-
The authors of this paper describe a fiber-optic diagnostic method based on Rayleigh frequency shift that provides new insights about the characteristics of the near-wellbore region during production.
-
Glynn Williams, CEO of Silixa, offers his take on the role fiber-optic technology will play in the rise of CO2 storage and on the firm’s progress in the tight-rock sector.
-
The authors of this paper describe a project that integrates carbonate stratigraphic forward models of outcropping formations and reservoir-modeling work flows.

SponsoredQuickly identify the right strategies for a well or pad to overcome operational challenges. Explore cost-effective, easy-to-use solutions that help operators achieve better production rates with less manpower.
-
The Oklahoma City-based tight-oil producer has agreed to acquire Validus Energy.
-
Devon, Shell, and SM Energy offer some of their latest learnings from recent independent subsurface diagnostics projects. Their work underscores why this arena of technology has become a cornerstone for hydraulic-fracture design in tight-rock reservoirs.
-
This paper presents a work flow that has been applied to crossdipole sonic data acquired in a vertical pilot well drilled in the Permian Basin.
