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.

Used extensively by the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, the mechanical-vapor-recompression (MVR) process is viewed as a reliable method for recovering demineralized water from concentrated brines. This paper reports on performance of an advanced MVR system in north-central Texas. -
The paper assesses the technology implications of migrating LNG floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) concepts to inshore service.
-
This paper presents an integrated modeling approach for history matching and economic optimization of wells producing from liquids-rich shale reservoirs.
-
Tight gas reservoirs and shale gas reservoirs are economically viable hydrocarbon prospects that have proved to be successful in North America.
-
Reserves- and resources-evaluation methods in unconventional reservoirs are different from those for conventional reservoirs.
-
Three observations have resulted from horizontal-well development in the Sulige tight gas field.
-
The North American shale-gas boom has highlighted the differences that a few years and a few thousand miles can make.
-
Natural-gas production from tight and shale-gas reservoirs will be increasingly important in China as the country shifts from coal-based energy to cleaner energy sources.
-
Gas in tight sand and shale exists in underground reservoirs with microdarcy or even nanodarcy permeability ranges; these reservoirs are characterized by small pore throats and crack-like interconnections between pores.
-
Europe and Australia have joined the US in expanding recoverable hydrocarbons from unconventional resources, and initial activities are on the rise elsewhere.
