Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The deal adds over 1,000 potential drilling locations and almost doubles oil production for Houston-based Magnolia.
Average output reached 13.6 million BOPD, extending a period of sustained growth that has kept the US at the forefront of global oil production.
The events will be co-located 3–5 May 2027 at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.

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 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.
