Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Casing deformation has emerged as a major challenge in China’s unconventional oil and gas fields, prompting the development of new solutions to address the issue.
The US supermajor is using one of its lowest-value hydrocarbon products to generate double-digit production increases in its most prolific US asset.
The transaction adds 267,000 net acres and nearly 140,000 BOE/D from Vital Energy, lifting Crescent into the top 10 largest US independents.

Recent industry activities have turned their focus to the areas of liquid-rich shale (LRS) and light tight oil (LTO) along with unconventional tight and shale gas. -
Unconventional gas is poised to enter its Golden Age and to effect positive global change if it can meet three challenges. Consider the 7 billion people on Earth who use energy each day.
-
Many different completion techniques, such as vertical-well multiseam completions and multiple lateral wellbores drilled into a single coal seam, have been used to develop coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs.
-
This paper presents a pragmatic approach to frame, evaluate, and compare appraisal strategies in resource plays.
-
As oil companies have moved to more-marginal reservoir targets, application of conventional techniques has often yielded disappointing results, and tighter zones are often abandoned for more-promising target intervals.
-
The rapid growth in the development of unconventional shale resources has changed business-as-usual for onshore production equipment manufacturers and suppliers.
-
Drilling, completing, and fracturing of unconventional-formation wells in North America have become commonplace for producing natural gas. It is less common to drill, complete, and fracture treat multiple lateral branches from a single main wellbore.
-
A recent webinar discussed current technologies to enable reuse of produced water in gas and oil shale developments.
-
Industry proponents and many leading academic institutions agree that natural gas is the safest, cleanest-burning bridge fuel. One risk in the development of this resource involves the inevitable leakage of methane.
