Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The merger creates one of the largest oil-focused independents in the US with output of 526,000 BOE/D.
BPX Energy will retain operatorship of the assets after the sale of its interests to private investment firm Sixth Street is complete.
The aim of this study is to incorporate detailed geological, petrophysical, and hydraulic fracturing models to better predict and mitigate the effects of interbench interactions.

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. -
In this paper, an energy-based 3D fracture-reconstruction method is proposed to derive the complex fracture network from microseismic data in a shale gas reservoir.
-
The authors write that, by wireline formation testing of a sandstone formation adjacent to a sand/shale laminated reservoir in the Weizhou shale-oil region of the Beibu Gulf, key reservoir information can be directly obtained.
-
This paper presents a novel workflow for using electromagnetic resistivity-based reservoir mapping logging-while-drilling technologies for successful well placement and multilayer mapping in low-resistivity, low-contrast, thinly laminated clastic reservoirs.
-
This paper presents a complete digital workflow applied to several greenfields in the Asia Pacific region that leads to successful deep-transient-testing operations initiated from intelligent planning that positively affected field-development decisions.
-
This study introduces a cleanup- and flowback-testing approach incorporating advanced solids-separation technology, a portable solution, equipment automation, improved metallurgy, and enhanced safety standards.
-
A Shell partnership with YPF marks a significant milestone for the Argentina LNG export facility, raising new questions about the nation’s potential to unlock the economic power of its vast shale reserves.
-
The study uses laboratory and digital core analyses of Berea sandstone to estimate petrophysical and dynamic properties for adjustment of predicted precipitation and flow reduction in reservoir simulation models of intermittent CO₂ injection with aquifer drive.
-
Diversified Energy announces its largest deal yet to buy private equity-owned Maverick Natural Resources.
