Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Operators aren’t rushing to drill, even as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz drives oil prices up.
EQT is benchmarking its way to basin-leading productivity and relying on partnerships and new technology to turn KPIs into operational reality.
Hydraulic fracturing holds great potential in the region, but there are several key questions worth asking as efforts move forward.
-
The all-stock transaction will create one of the largest shale producers in the US, anchored by a major Delaware Basin position. -
This paper presents an automated workflow deployed for scheduling and validating steady-state production-well tests across more than 2,300 wells in the Permian Basin.
-
This paper presents a multifaceted approach leveraging precise rig control, physics models, and machine-learning techniques to deliver consistently high performance in a scalable manner for sliding.
-
This paper compares deep transient testing with drillstem testing in a high- and low-permeability gas reservoir, including test-selection implications and best practices.
-
This paper proposes a novel approach toward drilling maximum-reservoir-contact wells by integrating automated drilling and geosteering software to control the downhole bottomhole assembly, thereby minimizing the need for human intervention.
-
This study integrates recently developed formation testing with advanced petrophysical logging to address limitations of traditional methods in volcanic breccia formations.
-
This paper describes a novel 6.75-in. logging-while-drilling geochemical tool developed for accurate lithology, mineralogy, well-placement, and geosteering applications in complex reservoirs.
-
This paper describes rock-compressibility correlations for carbonated naturally fractured reservoirs in Mexico that considers a range of important geological and dynamic aspects.
-
This paper offers an exploration into the field applications of multiphase flowmeters (MPFMs) across global contexts and the lessons learned from implementation in a smart oil field that uses several types of MPFM.
-
The acquisition adds 2.1 Bcf/D of production and pipeline infrastructure in Texas and Louisiana.
