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.

The disruptive nature of unconventional reservoirs has spurred the need for new ideas. But that doesn’t always mean that we need to toss out the traditional methods that got us here. Such might be the case for the recent developments unfolding around the diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT). -
The paper demonstrates the ability of deep-learning generative models to enable new shale-characterization methods.
-
A new dose of constraint may just be the best prescription for those making reserves estimates on prospective unconventional resources.
-
The paper presents a model for shale gas production in which CO2 is injected by huff ’n’ puff into a hydraulic fracture surrounded by a shale matrix.

This study explores pitfalls experienced when using capacitance/resistance modeling as a plug-and-play technique for waterflood optimization and discusses workarounds and mitigations to improve its reliability.

Natural gas delivered as LNG to growing economies in Asia has a strong role to play in achieving net zero in carbon emissions, and most of that gas will come from unconventional resources.

The newly formed SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Section is working on a project to identify a set of best practices for completions engineers. Once completed, they will be accessible to the entire SPE technical community.
-
Mixing dry polymer powder and water to make friction reducer as needed during fracturing can cut the cost of the additive and the testing of whether a drastically simplified recipe performs as well as more-complex mixes.
-
This paper presents an integrated work flow to model mechanical properties at sufficiently high resolution to honor accurately rock fabric and its effects on height and complexity and, thus, production.

The US producer also closed its acquisition of assets in the Permian through a deal with Primexx.
