Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The merger creates one of the largest oil-focused independents in the US with output of 526,000 BOE/D.
BPX Energy will retain operatorship of the assets after the sale of its interests to private investment firm Sixth Street is complete.
This paper describes development of a high-temperature water-based reservoir drill-in fluid using a novel synthetic polymer and customized with optimal chemical concentrations and sized calcium carbonate.
-
This paper summarizes the integrated technical learnings from the successful application of the installation of autonomous outflow control technology in a new long horizontal injector well. -
This paper will cover the most-common types of horizontal multistage fracturing completion systems, with a primary focus on unconventionals.
-
New research from Hess offers compelling evidence that two layers of tight rock can be treated as one and how passive wells can become oil producers.
-
This paper describes how a better understanding of the connection between the well and the reservoir through use of fiber-optic sensors can improve reservoir simulation models, decision-making, and well-performance evaluation.
-
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.
