Unconventional/complex reservoirs
With a strong presence across US shale in the Bakken, Anadarko Basin, Powder River Basin, and the Permian, Continental Resources is expanding into Argentina’s Vaca Muerta shale as the privately held E&P giant pursues international growth.
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 authors investigate the utility of applying unconventional technology to low- or variably producing carbonate reservoirs to increase estimated ultimate recovery and decrease development-scale variability. -
Unconventional reservoirs bear a unique perplexity in that, at every scale, they are different from their conventional counterparts and even one another. This month’s selection of papers is all about those differences.
-
The acquisition underscores the rapid rise of the unconventional oil play in northeastern Utah that producers claim offers better margins than the Permian Basin.
-
Pilots and papers are plentiful, but the shale sector has no big enhanced oil recovery projects to speak of. It may just have to stay that way for a while.
-
Operators tell an audience at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference how a hybrid expandable liner system and machine-learning-based analysis improve the bottom line.
-
After another year of significant consolidation in the US shale sector, Enverus has released its annual list of the nation's largest private exploration companies.
-
Machine learning is refining gas lift production optimization with scalable automated workflow.
-
The Permian’s produced-water challenge presents an opportunity for innovation to pave the way toward a more sustainable future for the industry.
-
The Dallas-based tight oil producer will gain 33,500 acres and approximately 25,500 BOE/D from the latest deal to reshape the US shale sector.
