Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Industry experts at URTeC assessed more than a decade of unconventional growth while discussing where productivity gains will come from next.
Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.
The deal adds physics-based reservoir modeling and real-time decision workflows to SLB’s digital portfolio.
