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.

Estimates of tight-reservoir hydrocarbon reserves continue to vary with uncertainty. What is known with certainty, though, is that current recovery rates are low and the upside is substantial. -
The pursuit of sweet spots in unconventional oil and gas plays is driving the creation of an emerging set of data-driven systems to measure, map, and predict how wells will perform in unconventional reservoirs.
-
At the recent 2015 Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, a major theme was how companies can improve performance without increasing the size of their budget.

In hydraulic fracturing, the use of diagnostic-fracture-injection tests (DFITs) can provide valuable information.
-
History shows that technology adapts to the economic conditions. What is the optimum technology in a high-price environment is not optimum for a low-price scenario.
-
SPE Distinguished Lecturer Joseph Frantz, Jr. says stakeholder opinions will shape the future of hydraulic fracturing.
-
Downhole instrumentation of the Khazzan tight gas appraisal wells provides a rare opportunity to quantify reservoir pressure and temperature dynamics.
-
Queensland, Australia, is currently host to a number of coal-seam-gas (CSG) to liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) projects under development.
-
Surface jet pumps (SJPs) are simple, low-cost, passive devices that use a high-pressure (HP) fluid as the motive force to boost the pressure of produced-gas and -liquid phases.
-
The incredibly tight rocks that are the source of North America’s gas renaissance are off limits in Germany and France. Though Maersk drilled the first multifractured horizontal well in the North Sea in 1987, some European countries are now banning operations that have occurred legally for decades.
