Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The DOE-backed EGS-Twin project aims to simulate geothermal production systems, helping operators better predict performance and maximize output.
Beetaloo Energy and Halliburton have signed an MOU to advance Beetaloo Digital, a proposed gas-powered AI data center hub in Australia’s Northern Territory that could create a new long-term market for Beetaloo Basin gas.
The ultrasonic wellbore imaging firm is being taken over by Blackstone, the world's largest alternative asset manager.

A new play in the Permian Basin is unconventional in an unexpected way: there is a small group of independents producing from a watery formation where oil production begins after they have pumped only water for weeks. -
Carbo Ceramics is making big strides in the use of ceramic proppant.
-
Saudi Aramco has begun moving toward the production phase of its ambitious plan to develop its enormous hoard of unconventional gas resources.
-
Understanding petrophysical properties well enough to make drilling decisions, particularly for tight gas can be a challenge. A new computer system aims to help analyze the extensive data involved.
-
This paper offers an alternative explanation for the early boundary-dominated flow related to dissolution of salt-sealed natural fractures in the shale.
-
On the basis of production data, diagnostic methods, and field observations, it is becoming increasingly clear that induced unpropped fractures created during the hydraulic-fracturing operation play a critical role in determining the success of fracture treatments.

In this work, the authors perform automatic decline analysis on Marcellus Shale gas wells and predict ultimate recovery for each well.

In this study, samples of flowback water and downhole shales are analyzed to investigate the mechanisms controlling the chemistry of flowback water.

Coalbed methane development can require a large volume of wells, but the costs of logging can be prohibitive, so alternate formation-evaluation solutions are being evaluated. This paper compares state-of-the-art mining logging technology with conventional oil-and-gas approaches.
