Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Industry leaders champion collaborative solutions as essential for overcoming fracturing limitations.
Regional pore-pressure variations in the Leonardian- and Wolfcampian-age producing strata in the Midland and Delaware basins are studied using a variety of subsurface data.
The main goal of this research work was to determine subseismic faults and fracture corridors and their characteristics, including density and orientation, for a Paleocene fractured carbonate reservoir.
