Interwell interference is a ubiquitous concern in shale reservoir development that results in
declines in productivity. It mainly appears when a high number of closely spaced …

We present a systematic summary of the geological characteristics, exploration and
development history and current state of shale oil and gas in the United States. The …

The objective of field-development optimization is to maximize the expected value of specific
performance indicators or economic metrics, such as hydrocarbon production, net present …

An essential aspect in the development of shale and tight (S&T) assets revolves around well-
placement strategies to maximize economic value. Reservoir simulation is a key tool that …

The growing interest in closely spaced drilling units (DSUs) highlights the need to
understand well performance under interference conditions in shale oil reservoirs …

The presented work focuses on the Permian Delaware Basin with the objective of
determining how completion practices, geology, and well spacing influence wells' first-year …

One of the challenges of tight well configurations commonly used in the Permian Basin is
well interference. The main factors controlling the degree of interference are the extent of …

Reservoir uncertainty can be represented by an ensemble of physics-based models, each
producing a satisfactory match to production history. Deterministic assumptions are often …
