Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Weatherford CEO Girish K. Saligram said the acquisition will bolster Weatherford’s completions offerings and unconventional reservoir capabilities.
This paper reviews fracturing-program design, completion technology, real-time data collection, data integration, and lessons learned for the Pikka development on the North Slope of Alaska.
This paper presents a case study of a tool-free fishbone fracture stimulation technology using sand jetting and acidizing in openhole wells, providing a technical solution for low-permeability and complex-lithology carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East.

This paper proposes a novel approach toward drilling maximum-reservoir-contact wells by integrating automated drilling and geosteering software to control the downhole bottomhole assembly, thereby minimizing the need for human intervention. -
This paper describes a novel 6.75-in. logging-while-drilling geochemical tool developed for accurate lithology, mineralogy, well-placement, and geosteering applications in complex reservoirs.

This paper describes rock-compressibility correlations for carbonated naturally fractured reservoirs in Mexico that considers a range of important geological and dynamic aspects.
-
This paper offers an exploration into the field applications of multiphase flowmeters (MPFMs) across global contexts and the lessons learned from implementation in a smart oil field that uses several types of MPFM.

The acquisition adds 2.1 Bcf/D of production and pipeline infrastructure in Texas and Louisiana.
-
The new assessment also estimates 28.3 Tcf of technically recoverable gas in the Woodford and Barnett shales.
-
Operators are turning to new gas-lift and nanoparticle-fluid technologies to drive up production rates.
