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.

This paper presents an automated calibration process, probabilistic infill well ranking, and location optimization for a major heavy oil field in Colombia with original oil in place of more than 5 million STB. -
The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive review of the latest technologies and work flows developed for heavy oil reservoir management.
-
The Calgary-based shale producer said the deal involves at least 600 new well locations that will keep it drilling for the next 20 years.
-
The acquisition will enable Energy Transfer to send more barrels of Permian crude to oil hub at Cushing, Oklahoma.
-
From refracturing old wells to ones that don’t have to be fractured at all, notable producers argue that experiments are paying off.
-
The authors of this paper present results of a study that examined formation-damage mechanisms caused by drilling fluids in tight reservoirs in onshore oil fields in Abu Dhabi.
-
The authors of this paper discuss a biosurfactant treatment that offers an economical method for remediation of formation damage caused by high-molecular-weight paraffin wax deposition in porous media.
-
The UK company will purchase oil producing acreage across the northern part of the south Texas Eagle Ford shale play.
-
Rate transient analysis has been challenged in every sense of the word when it comes to tight reservoirs. An ongoing joint industry project aims to turn that around.
-
The authors of this paper introduce a physics-based method for explicit pore-pressure prediction in naturally fractured shale petroleum reservoirs.
