Subsurface realizations are uncertain. Uncertain realizations are refined with additional
diagnostics and physics-based modeling establishes physical-plausibility of a realization …

This study evaluates the productivity of ten major unconventional oil and gas plays in North
America, emphasizing the role of completion, stimulation, and geological factors. The …

The study aims to provide actionable insights for operators and stakeholders on how to
manage well spacing, sequencing, and landing zone true vertical depth (TVD) to increase …

The primary objective of this study is to thoroughly assess the influence of various
completion, fracturing stimulation, and intrinsic reservoir properties affecting productivity of …

Optimization of unconventional oil and gas assets requires simultaneous consideration of
fracturing and porous media flow phenomena. Recent work has demonstrated that a fully …

Abstract The concept of Augmented Depletion Development (ADD) was introduced to the
industry through a pilot project conducted in the Bakken play in the United States (US) …

A two-mile lateral infill well was drilled roughly 2000 ft from an offset producer in the same
formation. The offset producer was a one-mile lateral and ran parallel to the heel portion of …

Well spacing and hydraulic fracture design have an enormous impact on the economic
performance of wells in shale. Key design parameters include:(a) horizontal and vertical well …

This paper builds upon our industry's history of experimenting to learn/innovate (Fast 1952,
Northrop et al. 1984, Fast et al. 1993, Warpinski et al. 1993, Cipolla et al. 2008, Raterman et …

A debris free, clean perforating tunnel with lower skin offers better reservoir connectivity,
better production and slower decline. An equal entry diameter perf-hole (EHD) creates a …
