Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.
By integrating experimental and mathematical modeling approaches, this work aims to advance the understanding of sand-detachment dynamics and formation instability under varying saturation conditions.

Recent history has taught the unconventional sector that overly optimistic production forecasts can backfire. Going forward, one solution may be to combine financial and subsurface models to better communicate expectations. -
Just as US natural gas prices reach multiyear highs, Chesapeake Energy moves to become this region's largest producer.
-
Incremental gains are not always celebrated, but as two of the biggest oil producers in the US show, they nonetheless can net unrealized savings and new efficiencies.
-
The combined company will have a strengthened position in the Permian Basin, and plans to operate 17 hydraulic fracturing fleets in the region.
-
Thousands of horizontal wells that had been drilled but uncompleted (DUCs) offered a way to maintain production without the cost of drilling more wells, but that resource is finally running low.
-
The third quarter has so far not seen any mergers and acquisitions in the shale business that top $1 billion.
-
The paper aims to determine the mechanisms of fracturing interference with multiwell pads in shale gas reservoirs and evaluate the effect of interwell fracturing interference on production.
-
This paper reviews innovations and technologies used to make the Atlanta field in the Santos Basin a successful case of heavy-oil production in ultradeep water.
-
The authors write that cyclic gas injection enhanced oil recovery for Eagle Ford volatile oil can yield substantial increases in estimated ultimate recovery.
-
A fast-moving pressure pulse is the priority of a research and development initiative that, if successful, will result in a new diagnostic technology for horizontal wells in tight reservoirs.
