unconventional resources

Former CTO of ConocoPhillips, Greg Leveille, makes the case for why more oil and gas professionals should take notice of the new-age geothermal space.

Find out what made the list of big technology breakthroughs that have shaped the oil and gas industry over the past quarter century.

Two firms are using hydraulic fracturing to create high-pressure water reservoirs that can be turned on and off to meet electricity demand.

A Kimmeridge Energy executive said at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference that he wants to "make unconventional resources investable in a low-carbon world."

Results from more than 50,000 runs where shaped cutters resolved drilling issues demonstrate that, by matching the combination of cutters to the formation and the downhole conditions, it is possible to improve ROP, extend bit life, and drill longer runs for more cost-efficient operations.

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 deal awards the first concession in the Middle East for unconventional oil resources.

The authors discuss the development of a deep-learning model to identify errors in simulation-based performance prediction in unconventional reservoirs.

The complete paper builds on existing tools in the literature to quantify the effect of changing well spacing on well productivity for a given completion design, using a new, simple, intuitive empirical equation.

More than 1,000 pieces of oilfield equipment in the US have already been treated with a nanocoating that the company says nixes fouling problems caused by paraffins and inorganic scales.
